Manny Pacquiao's fights are big business regardless of who he faces, and as a boxing fan its a pleasure to see two future hall of famers fight, but other than that, frankly, I'm not too excited about this match-up. We've seen it three times before. Even if ultimately the outcome turns out to be different, on paper its the same fight once again. For my money, I would prefer to see Pacquiao and Marquez in with new blood. Its not as if Pacquiao or Marquez fight 4X/year. They fight twice at most every year. We've seen them against each other. How about they face new big challenges? On the other hand, the three previous fights were all good fights.

I credit Pacquiao for taking on Bradley, at least that was different. Bradley was a p4p guy, lower end of list, but in his prime, and the top junior welterweight in the world. Since moving up to lightweight, other than Floyd or Pacquiao, when has Marquez faced anyone at the top of their game? I would prefer Rios-Marquez, Garcia-Marquez, Bradley-Marquez, even Matthysse-Marquez.

Right now, I'm going with Marquez just for the sake of going against the grain.
