There are reasons the rematch took so long.
There are many people here who believe that Marquez is just going to get steam rolled by Pacquiao, but I believe that is just not going to happen.
I believe Marquez is one of the toughest --with the exception of Mayweather-- challenges out there for Pacquiao, and Freddie Roach, and Top Rank are very nervous.
After all there is a reason they hesitated so much to make this fight. There is a reason instead of making an immediate rematch with Marquez in 2008 ( a fight that sold 500,000 PPV's a record for Pacquiao at the time) they went after David Diaz at 135. (a fight that sold only 200,000 PPV's) There is a reason that after the Cotto fight, instead of making a rematch with Marquez, they chose Clottey, Margarito and Mosley. All men who did nothing to deserve a fight with Pacquiao, but more importantly all men who did not present the style that Marquez presented. And finally there is a reason that this fight has a rematch clause, something that Clottey, Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, Margarito, and Diaz didn't have. They know this fight is tough!
