    marquez on the other hand has miraculously hit a new prime and is faster and much stronger then he was before.

    if there is a fifth fight i can see pacquiao being VERY cautious while marquez pushes the action and throws bombs.

    Exactly, the opposite of the first fight.

        Manny's boxing skills are very underrated. He has the skills to outbox pretty much anyone in the game at the moment.

        His problem is that i think he can get easily bored by just boxing. With his speed and power, he actually enjoys mixing it up and going toe to toe, and can get careless at times.

        But make no mistake - if manny chooses to box, he will outbox you. Just ask Tim Bradley and Brandon Rios.


        I think he needs to find the perfect medium between boxing skill and brawling for entertainment. That way hes able to generate 800k ppv buys without having to rely on mexican holidays and stacked undercards (unlike floyd)

            Yes Manny is an excellent boxer,and yes this does get overlooked..But Juan is the superior boxer. Manny wins the fights due to his extraordinary athleticism.. His speed,flexibility which are natural abilities Juan lacks..he lacks the speed but has great timing and accuracy...he is stiff but places his feet very well

              Pacquiao hits just as hard as Marquez. He dropped Marquez in their last fight and he hurt Bradley more than Marquez did. Marquez being a big puncher is not some new thing. He has been a hard puncher his whole career especially with his straight right. Both men are big punchers and good boxers but I think Pacquiao's younger age gives him the edge judging by their last couple of fights. Pacquiao could certainly score a KO and I think he will be going for one if fight 5 happens.

                Marquez found the fountain of youth. Pacquiao had to actually age unfortunately
