Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Marquez!

[InTheNeutralCorner]

Marquez schooled his ass 2x so he's 2-0 in my book..

Marquez owns Pacquiao.. That's just the way it is..

It isn't 'schooled' if the fight was close and could have gone either way.

If only Marquez had remained erect during those fights, then he could have won.

you know... TBH, the draw in the first bout was acceptable but only because of the 3 knockdowns in the first round. If it wasn't for that, it was nearly a wipeout.. Marquez took that ass to school and set the blueprint.. then Morales followed it..

Marquez definitely won the rematch..

Trilogy doesn't mean as much because it failed to take place sooner but Marquez will always know how to fight pacman.. he knows how to fight this man as he timed down pac's rhytm since way back.. It aint going to be no blowout that's for sure.

Marquez couldn't beat pac before, and pac is only that much better. Pac easy win. All the marquez i coulda, woulda, technincally, in a way kinda beat pac non-sense will finally come to an end.

The draw resulted from a technical error in scoring by one of the judges, otherwise Pac would have won. But I am not complaining with the draw.

Marquez definitely won the rematch..

'Definitely' is a very subjective word. It really was a close fight but fortunately for one boxer, the scores that count went in his favor.

Trilogy doesn't mean as much because it failed to take place sooner but Marquez will always know how to fight pacman.. he knows how to fight this man as he timed down pac's rhytm since way back.. It aint going to be no blowout that's for sure.

I agree with you on that. It is now a matter of how Pac is able to change his rhythm. But I don't believe this fight will be close since one of them has improved tremendously.

Juan Manuel Marquez, arguably the greatest Mexican fighter of all time based on the strength of his "two stinging wins" against Manny pacquiao, will probably lose this third encounter, and this time, maybe on a very "closely contested" and controversial, but brutal stoppage (a few stitches away from the savagery of the Margo beating) inside 8 rounds at the hands of his favorite whipping boy... the upstart, Manny Pac!

JMM should not have accepted this third fight as age might have already gained a foothold to this greatest counter punching machine that the boxing world has ever laid eyes upon. All is not lost tho', for a whipping boy will always remain that ... a whipping boy, to his master.

Nevertheless, I will go against the grain and take Packy the upstart, to take the all time Mexican great Juan Manuel, only due to the latter's wear and tear.

Pacquiao inside 8!

To be "schooled" he'd have to beat him convincingly, or in other words win nearly every round. That has never happened. They are pretty even so no schooling by either fighter has ever happened despite what you have read and repeated so blindly.

I don't think Manny Pacquiao is any real better, than when he fought JMM in there 2nd fight. It's just Manny Pacquiao has been made too look better because of the style's of the opponents.

Agreed but I really am worried that jmm gets stopped in this one saddly. He's far from a spring chicken, if however he somehow manages to beat pac that would be awesome, and if I was him I would just call it a day and ride off.

Pac points decision as JMM goes into survival mode.

[roberto duran legend]

Pac will stop JMM in this fight , he wont leave it to the judges this time, 9 or 10th round .

[FinitoElDinamita]

Pac is gonna stop Marquez now? lmfao

[InTheNeutralCorner]

Marquez has never been stopped before. Although the vast majority expects Pac to win this one, it would be a great feat if he stops Marquez.

[Chino]

I wonder if JMM punches will have the same pop in the weight he will be fighting compared to when they fought in the lighter weights before, leaving Pac's face covered with blood and bruises and rocking him through out the fight. I can't see that happening now .

NAh, Floyd wore him down for Pac.

Owkey, so that won't be a great feat anymore.

What if Manny stops Marquez during the stare down even without throwing a punch?
