Who else isn't excited for Pacquiao/Marquez III?

[Hi-Dro]

I'm feeling you TS


I wish the fight would have at least been at 140....

at 144 this fight isn't that intriguing to me despite the natural intrigue that comes with both fighters being in opposite corners of each other. Nevertheless, it should be a better fight then Pac's last, which isn't a compliment to Pac. Still, Marquez should show up at the very least.

[S.G.]

Honestly, I'm pretty down about it. I know Marquez demanded the fight himself, but I just feel like he's being exploited. My expectation is that he's gonna get flattened, but that also means that if he does manage to pull off a good performance I'll be even happier.

Huge "Dinamita" fan myself, but I just can't get amped for this one. Maybe 24/7 will change that, but Pacquiao should've given Marquez his rubbermatch about a year after the rematch, IMO. It seems to me he's just been waiting on Marquez to get old, and with the added weight (we've seen how ineffective Marquez is past 135lbs), I can't honestly see this fight as being a fair one.

That said, I'll be watching and supporting Marquez. I just can't get myself amped up over it. Seems to me Pacquiao just wants to finally be able to look himself in the mirror and say "I beat Marquez" with a straight face.

yeah but you seem to forget who he was fighting. i agree its not his best weight, but he was fighting floyd mayweather for fcuk sake!! a guy who had all the physical advantages over him aswell as being superbly talented. mayweather also has a ridiculous reach. by the time pac and marquez step in the ring they will be at similar weights like their 2 previous fights. the only difference this time is pac dont have to boil down to 130lbs.

JMM is trash at 147 going to stream this one. Makes absolutely no sense to not have this fight at least at 140 to make it more competitive. Hope JMM surprises me though and adjusts to the extra weight well.

fight is at 144 though not 147, FYI..

why wouldn't you be excited about this? it's gonna be entertaining that's one thing you can count on....wait, i said the same thing about the mosley fight...

Seeing Mosley just show up really depressed me and made me cynical of anyone. If Shane freaking Mosley only showed up for a check, who's to say Marquez won't do the same?

IMO, Marquez is always to give Pac trouble no matter what weight they're in. Marquez only looked ineffective against Floyd because he was the aggressor the entire fight, a style he's not used to. Marquez is used to opponents coming at him, not the other way around. I'm not saying that Marquez is going to beat Pac, but I think that this is going to be a war like the first two.

that's a good point. eventhough marquez did look a bit sluggish against mayweather, i think the big factor was that marquez was out of his element the entire fight. i expect this third fight to be a war only because marquez and pacquiao have that strong rivalry and both guys are warriors in the ring.

ok, so it seems to be going over a lot of you people's heads that marquez has been getting bombed on by slow dudes like kats and juan diaz. those guys were made to order for jmm and he would have never been hit that much, not even close to it back in '04 and '08.

it has nothing to do with floyd being so great or marquez being the aggressor.


jmm looked SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW when he fought floyd at 147. he had no pop in his punches.

i'm counting down the days...i cant wait for this one

[BABYBOXER]

i wonder why some people think as if jmm is not preparing for this fight?

is this an early stage of discrediting manny if ever he wins?

what if jmm wins? jmm is not fighting manny with 1 hand tied on his back...
