Ill still pay to watch them fight but......Pac must win, and do so big! I mean, each fighter has an style that will give him the most trouble and they may struggle with it. So, Marquez may be Pac's kriptonite (sp?)? We dont know, and we have not seen FMJ's as of yet!
2004: In his first fight vs Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao threw 639 punches & landed 148 punches.
2008: In their 2nd fight Manny Pacquiao threw 619 punches & landed 157 punches.
148+157= 305
2009: Floyd Mayweather in his fight vs Juan Manuel Marquez threw 493 punches & landed 290!. Mayweather almost landed the same amount of shots on Marquez in one fight than Pacquiao landed in 24 rounds.
Manny Pacquiao in 24 rounds threw 1258 punches. He landed 305 punches.
Floyd Mayweather in 12 rounds threw 493 punches. He landed 290 punches. ONLY 15 less than Manny landed on JMM in 2 fights & he threw 765 less punches than Pacquiao did.
The GAP in skill level is clearly apparent. In each fight vs Marquez, Manny threw over 600 punches and still couldnt land as many on Marquez than Mayweather did.
Notice the superb technician Juan Manuel Marquez....
Notice how Marquez looks like a novice...
If Juan Manuel Marquez beats Manny Pacquiao would you still be interested in a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight?
For sure people would still want to see it, because they have been pleading for it for ages, and if they dont fight, people will think all their pleas counted for nothing. But as for the credit Floyd will get, it will be considerably less as you can imagine.
As for Floyd landing so many punches. Shame he couldnt knock JMM down having landed so many punches. And i suppose its easier to land punches on someone who is bloated. Im suprised Floyd didnt land more than Pac.
I love Marquez and it'd be awesome if he won. He would finally get the respect he deserves.
There's just something about the Floyd fight that angers me and if Pacquiao loses to anyone else besides Floyd that anger will remain. The infestation will remain. The embarrassment will remain.
So...you're torn on who to root for in the fight?
On one hand, you want Márquez to get credit against Pacquiao. On the other hand, you want Pacquiao to get a chance at Mayweather, right?
