Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 predictions

[Rantcatrat]

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 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.

No no no, dont get it twisted he had different opponents.

Give pacman another past it hatton or margarito and everyone would say how explosive he still is!

Come on guys. I think its a bit disrespectful to bradley/mosely/marquez to say pac is past it or slowed down or has leg cramps just because they nulified pacs workrate.

Jeeez, cotto gave floyd some competition for 3-4 rounds but you dont hear floyd fans saying "floyd is slowing up, floyds legs are gone, floyds this or that!"

That was the first bloody nose floyd had in a long time but cotto gave him that.
Takes two to tango fellas.

It's not disrespectful at all. Also, first, Pacquiao bodied Mosley. I'm not sure why he is brought up.

Second, why can't it be both? Bradley & Marquez are p4p fighters. With Marquez, Pacquiao has always had difficulty. Every style has its Kryptonite. I remember when many people on this board were claiming Marquez was an easy fight for Pacquiao, prior to their third fight. Marquez was washed up; I said then that Marquez just has Pacquiao's number. Pacquiao has his too for that matter. Those two future hall of famers will always fight to a standstill. With Bradley, Pacquiao fought another undefeated great boxer. Bradley beat Pacquiao, even if the decision was dubious. I was, and am, a big Bradley fan. I loved when he beat Devon Alexander in front of a pro-Alexander crowd. Loved it. Hats off to Bradley for his performance. Can't knock it at all.

Yet, even with all that, there are still signs of Pacquiao receding. It might not even be physical aging, although I suspect there is a bit of that too, it appears Pacquiao might be losing his mental edge too. I'm not ready to completely say one thing or the other. I also don't think that we'll be able to tell too much from this Marquez fight, unless one of them blows the other out of the water.

There are actually quite a few people that have commented that Floyd has slowed down and his legs aren't what they used to be.
