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