Pro's and Con's: Pacman vs El Terrible

[Sister Sledge]

How could JMM come back to get a draw after he was down 3 times in the 1st? M-Pac faded. I can't say this is the case for most of his fights, but it was against JMM. Serikzhan Yeshmangbetov put M-Pac down back in 2003, a fighter with a 3-6-1 record, so did MAB and Nedal Hussein. He was kayoed by Medgoen Singsurat and Rustico Torrecampo. Morales has faded of his bout at lighter weights, but he has done well at 130 and I can't see this as a problem. I can say one thing, M-Pac has only fought one very good fighter, so the pressure will be on him to step up. We know what Morales will bring. Manny is going might be in trouble.

Eric's bravery will be his downfall. He will try to box but the 1st time he gets cracked.....provided it's not a lights out punch. He will stand and trade it is what he does. He has neither the hand speed to out box Paq nor the power to keep Paq off of him. Don't get me wrong I like Erik and think he is a great fighter. I give him major props for taking this fight. But unless Osama Bin Laden kidnaps Paq's family I see no way Erik can win.

he did not fade in the later rounds during that JMM fight, actually he kept on attacking JMM until the end. it is not fading out because he was not able to connect because of the counterpunching of JMM. fading out means you stop attcking and you are able to connect in anyway. they both finished the match strongly and i guess they did not fade out. ok, i agree with the knockdown by hussein and Serikzhan Yeshmangbetov, but MAB? that was a slip, clearly... did you watch the Medgoen Singsurat match? manny was obviously not in shape, i was so disgusted i that fight because he was not given the proper training and nutrition. be looked fat during that fight, so i won't count that as a legitimate KO on pac, he just wasn't in top form. and on erik fading out, he did at 130 in his last fight... and correction, i guess we can say pac has fought at least TWO good fighters, MAB and JMM...

JMM will never fight Paq again. He knows he defied the odds to survive in that fight so he priced himself out of a rematch...good luck paying your bills this year JMM.

Yes, excuse me, he did fight two good fighters, but he was being outclassed by JMM for about 10 rounds. Your telling me a bigger stronger fighter with a better resume can't do the same. Let's not for MAB also lost to Junior Jones.

[Clay AikSkins]

well i don't see how it can happen. After all PAQ beat MAB up...MAB beat ERIK up...so logic tells us.....PAQ beats ERIK up.

Well, sir, logic tells me styles make fights. I guess a nuthugger is as a nuthugger does.

Got a point there sister.

JMM-Pac showed that under the most intense counter fire, Pacquiao will still be able to land a lot of his power punches on his opponent.

Marquez only landed 10 more punches than Pac. If Pac can do that to a "perfect" counter puncher like JMM, then we don't have to wonder why Pac was able to pulverize MAB.
