Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez: Pre-Report Card

By Cliff Rold - They waited too long to do it twice, but the wait was still worth it. Will the same be said after they square off for the third time? The consensus appears to be no. The fight still hasn’t happened. They have time to prove the consensus wrong. At most, they will get a scheduled twelve rounds. Given the intensity of this rivalry in the twenty-four rounds already contested, action until the final bell, no matter the round the end comes, seems assured. It’s a bit strange. This fight would have been feverishly anticipated once upon a time and, while it still is likely to do monster numbers at the box office, the buzz is small. There are good reasons. While there is a catchweight (144 and both came in under) for the contest, it is above 140 lbs., a Welterweight bout. Marquez, a once great Featherweight and still very good Lightweight, has competed this high on the scale once before.

WAR-Quez! Distractions, Criticism, Skepticism Fuel Juan

By Jake Donovan - He’s too old. The fight is coming too late in his career, too high in weight. Working with a controversial strength and conditioning coach only provides further distractions. He’s too big and will be too slow on fight night. He’s never going to be as popular as countrymen Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera. Juan Manuel Marquez is less than two days away from his long awaited third crack at longtime rival and current pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao. It seems the industry at large is waiting for the moment where he finally cracks and loses his patience. If you ask the legendary Mexican, the only thing lost is the attempt to find new reason why he can’t emerge victorious when the opening bell rings for their pay-per-view headliner at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. “I have to go into the fight with the mentality that I have to win each round and if the opportunity comes I go for the knockout,” Marquez emphatically states with a newfound swagger, if not a hint of defiance. “I am not going to hesitate if the opportunity is there.” The opportunity has yet to be there for the former three-division champion and future Hall of Famer. In fact quite the opposite, as he’s been put on his ass four times over their two-fight set. What has been on the table is victory, which he believes should’ve been his twice over in their previous two encounters. Run a poll among any group of media members within reach, and the results will suggest that he’s not out of line in thinking his 0-1-1 mark against Pacquiao could just as easily be 2-0.

Ariza Says Argument With Pacquiao Was 'No Big Deal'

Strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza clarified that his reported difference with pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, in which Manny is supposed to have thrown his cellphone and broken a glass, was “no big deal.”
