But its the age and moving up in weight im worried about, i just hope my boy JMM gives a good account of himself which im sure he will. He's a warrior and doesn't duck anyone and IMO beat Manny Pacquiao twice.
Marquez is tough little SOB, there's no doubt about it, and he gave Manny fits in the first 2 fights. The thing is, Pacquiao has improved light-years since 2008, and JMM has not, i'm seeing a one-sided beatdown in this one and the ref or Marquez' corner stopping it somewhere after the 8th round.
Or is that he's been given opponents that make him look that way ? have you noticed all of Manny Pacquiao's opponents have all been come forward fighters ? that's not the style that trouble's Manny Pacquiao.

Guy's like Margarito, Hatton, are cannon fodder for Manny Pacquiao, i don't really think Manny Pacquiao has improved since he destroyed David Diaz at Lightweight.
I've got to disagree with you there, Pacquiao has improved immensely since he started moving up in weight, especially in his power and skill level.
Has he though ? he knocked out Hatton i'll give you that, but Hatton had no defence and was being rocked by former Lightweight's like Lazcano. I just think Manny Pacquiao is so much faster than his opponents that he overwhelms them, i don't think his power is any real better than when he beat up David Diaz.

The style that trouble's Manny Pacquiao is a counter punching style, not someone who comes forward looking to exchange punches. Which is what all of Manny Pacquiao's opponents have been since JMM, i think its style issue here.
