Pacquiao-marquez iii: A horrendous cost

[Gutz]

This sure sounds familiar.

Its does.. And I feel bad for Floyd too.. when this happen..

[Carpe Diem]

You don't need power to outbox somebody.

Anyways if you think Marquez can still outbox Pac ears off but have no chance of winning then so be it. I don't know how that works but OK

I don't JMM is capable of doing anything to Pac. If Pac doesn't stop JMM, Pac will still win damn near every single round. He might look bad in doing so but he JMM has zero chance in doing anything to Pac.

That's how i look at it as well, but i just explain it a little bit different. You can outbox someone, but if you can't stay on your two feet and not getting the better out of punching exchanges because of you getting constant KD's, it'd hard to win that fight in the judges eyes.

You don't necessarily have to have hard powerhouse power punches to outbox someone, you'd just need to hit your opponent/s good enough in certain areas in their bodies in which might make them hesitating a little or caused their energy level to be lower.

Another example is Oscar vs Floyd, but because of Floyd's lacks of power, his punches didn't really had any affect on Oscar's aggression, but Oscar had to respect him because those punches made him frustrated and hesitated. As you said, i think Manny will run down JMM and possibly stop him, but he just won't look good doing it.

The article says it all and is right on. Even though some might not want to admit it, Marquez is past his prime and can't deal with Manny's speed or power at this stage of their careers.

I love Marquez and he's been a legend and a great champ but in reality I'm more happy for him because he finally got the payday he has wanted.

Not true....The man has to eat a lot just to make 144 yet he will be weight drain at 135?

why would he drain himself to 135 when he can train comfortably around 140lb? pac is campaigning at 147, he had 4 fights at this division now for ***s sake. he's similar in size w/ JMM than all WWs, but that's greatness for yah!

gtfoh w/ 135, even jmm is somehow draining himself at that weight now.

This article was right on point. Manny is a bum along with Arum. Manny's been fighting fighters coming off losses so i'd rather see Berto fight him then an old on the decline JMM moving up in weight.

err...you just contradicted yourself there dude.

Marquez will get beaten down viciously, watch.

[hypodermical]

JMM is indeed past his prime but lets get one thing clear..
Prime Pac >>> Prime JMM, at a reasonable weight (perhaps 140).

But at this stages of their carreers, Team Pac, esp Arum is not gonna give in too much to JMM's demands. JMM is the beggar now. Pac murders JMM.

err...you just contradicted yourself there dude.

How so? I simpley said since miss pacman fights fighters coming off losses why not fight Berto who is coming off a loss because that would be a better fight then JMM at this weight.

only to those who actually pay for it :laugh:
