Manny pacquiao: "it's going to be a big difference compared to the last two fights"

[JOM'S]

Ohh don't worry Pacman, we already know the difference will be huge, we know. 1 fighter a welterweight the other a lightweight, we know!!

won't they both come in the ring around 144-145 though? just manny don't need to starve himself and jmm has the opportunity to bulk up a bit..

I have a funny feeling that jmm may even outweigh pac by the size of him right now!

As a former amatuer boxer, I wish its as simple as you trying to make it out to be.

IMHO these two guys will be a lot closer in size than most people think both at weigh-in and fight night...

[JOM'S]

I agree Pac is favourite but to everyone who's saying its a complete mismatch - What is Pac going to do differently tactcially to ensure this is a completely different fight. Manny has the weight advantage and Marquez will be slower but he always had Mannys number tactically and these are teh same two fighters. I think age goes against him in the end but Pacs lack of killer instinct suggests this will be another long battle.

tactically Pac has probably learned from experience how to avoid or limit the counterpunches he is taking from JMM...

They probably will be close to the same weight brother. But that does not mean that Marquez's weight will be effective, now does it? If I'm 170 & I have friend weighting the same, does that mean that our stamina & strength is the same because we weight the same? marquez's effective weight is not welterweight. Lightweight is the limit, period.

[BennyST]

Well, that's pretty ****ing obvious! He's fighting a 40 year old lightweight! Jesus....

[BennyST]

Yup instead of struggling to cut weight and risk being weight drained looking like this:

Pacquiao/Marquez II weigh-in



He can weigh-in like this..

Weight drained fighters fight like Oscar did against Pac, not like Pac did against Marquez. A weight drained fighter doesn't fight 12 hard rounds looking the best he ever had. A weight drained fighter struggles to keep any intensity up, they look sluggish from the start and can't fight with their same power, intensity, speed, or anything.

Pac fought better against Marquez than he did against Morales, Barrera etc etc. That's not what a weight drained fighter does. Go watch Oscar vs Pac and learn.

what a hater..

[COACH WEBB]

Of course it won't. Your opponent is pushing 40 and out of his weight class. If this fight is the same as the last few then uh....

all im saying is marquez comes into the ring around 144 anyway, which he must be comfortable with and pac around the same

[bojangles1987]

No excuse for Pacquiao not to steamroll Marquez this time. He nearly did the first two times, and this time Marquez is older, slower, and facing an even bigger physical disadvantage than the first two fights. If Pacquiao is exactly the same fighter, and hasn't improved one iota since the second fight, he's still facing a worse Marquez than the guy he nearly stopped twice.

styles makes fight..

not because pac can beat the bigger guys means that he can beat JMM as easy as beating those guys.
this will be good because pac and JMM are the same size
