Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 predictions

[beenKOed]

How does it end?

Are you talking about how to end this rut these two fighters are stuck in? I would say old age is the only thing that will stop them.
Pavlik, if you are wondering who I think will this fight? I don't care who wins or how.
Boxing is about making money, we all understand that, but I wonder about the relevance of this fight compared to the shortening careers of these two.

If only there was some kind of form line for this fight, some way to try and work out what will happen when these two fighters eventually get in the ring with each other.

It's still too early for me to predict. But that doesn't mean I'm now less confident of my bwoy Manny.

I'm 100% absolutely positively sure Pacquiao will lose if it goes to the scorecards! Brace yourselves for that letdown Pacfans.

Manny has to win by KO.

[GAME]

Marquez will win again but get robbed again. These guys need to take chances to take it out of the judges hands. Dont wanna see another dull 12 rounder like the last 1

It would be nice for Manny to win without any controversy and when it is not expected. I think JMM won all 3 of the fights and do not really care much. Manny should have taken the test and went for Floyd years ago.

Manny Pacquiao's so called "past his prime" comments IMO are rubbish. It's because come forward fighters like Cotto, Margarito, Hatton, made Manny Pacquiao overrated. Against fighters who box and move Manny Pacquiao has never looked that great, remember he was less than impressive in the rematch vs a shot MAB who chose to box, also against Morales in there 1st meeting, and obviously not forgetting all 3 JMM fights.

JMM should win again considering he has won all there 3 previous meetings IMO.

I was going to say something but this statement says exactly how i feel.

Well done icb.

Not hating on pacman but its so annoying when people say hes past it just because he has trouble against a certain type of fighter.

Judah gave floyd a few minor problems before floyd adjusted and dominated.

Pacman is not smart enough to do that against these type of fighters. What has changed since pac vs marquez 1,2 or 3? Not much!

And lets not forget the loss to an injured tom bradley in the championship rounds.

Marquez will loose again unless he sets the pace more and becomes more aggressive.

I actually disagree a little bit. He might be overrated AND past his prime. Consider that for a moment. He didn't look spectacular in his last two outings. It's hard not to argue that Pacquiao has problems with defensive fighters and counter punchers. Every style has an antithesis. On the other hand, in my opinion, he hasn't looked quite as explosive as he has in the past either.

I don't overrated him. I'm not ranking him all-time or any of that crap until he's retired and we can compare him completely. He's a terrific fighter and a pleasure to watch and he's one of the best of our generation.

I agree ICB...BUT...no question Pac is no longer physically the same fighter...his quickness and explosiveness have clearly diminished compared to a few years ago.

I think Manny knows this too, I saw the interview of E.Sechback with Winchell Campos. I trust Mr. Campos' words when he said the Manny of old is back and is trying to move heaven and earth to make it happen.

What makes me nervous for Marquez in this fight is that he is saying he is looking for the KO. If that really is his game plan...i think Pac will knock him out. That style of aggressive fighting would play right into Pac's strengths. Juan is in a tough position. He has outboxed Manny but the judges will not give him the decision...so he might feel like he has no other option. But I still think JMM needs to fight his counter punching style...BUT he should not be passive in the latter rounds. This will be another exciting fight. Pac has slipped quite a bit...but JMM may finally look his age as well. If Marquez still has gas in the tank and fights his great counter punching style...i have him FINALLY winning a decision.
