Juan Manuel Marquez is at his highest level of commitment in training camp. "Dinamita" Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KOs) will meet Filipino superstar Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KOs) for a fourth time on December 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. HBO pay-per-view will carry the event. "We are looking for a victory that's going to leave no doubt about the winner. We are going for the knockout to make it clear once and for all who is better.

Pacquiao On Marquez: Nothing Personal Between Us

Some in-ring rivals grow to like each other, whether it’s a mutual respect or a genuine friendship. Others simply hate each other and look forward to the nights where they have the chance to inflict as much punishment as humanly and legally possible. There’s probably good reason for Juan Manuel Marquez to not particularly care for Manny Pacquiao. Their three-fight rivalry has produced as many controversial decisions, a series where either fighter can be 3-0 just as easily as they can be 0-3.

The insistence throughout the buildup for the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez is that changes are being made in both camps in order to produce a conclusive ending. Of course, the same sales pitch came prior to last year’s encounter. The end result proved to be every bit as close and controversial as their previous two meetings. Pacquiao escaped with an unpopular majority decision to run his record to 2-0-1 in the series, though it’s no stretch to suggest that he can just as easily be 3-0 or 0-3. Each fight has been that close, hence the reason for Part IV, which takes place on December 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“Fighting Words” — Pacquiao/Marquez: Fourth and For All

by David P. Greisman - It was not very long ago that the biggest bouts of the year would dominate all discussion for months before fight night. They were black holes that drew everything toward them. Little else seemed to matter. Today is November 19, less than three weeks away from one of the biggest bouts of the year. The conversation concerning the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez has only now begun. That should be surprising. Pacquiao and Marquez are two of the best fighters in the sport, in their generation and of all time. They have headlined on pay-per-views and in packed arenas. They have entertained millions and earned millions while doing so. And they have done this three times against each other. They have history. They have a rivalry. It’s not surprising, though, precisely because we’ve seen them before — and because we need good reason to want to see them more.
