The stronghest and weakness from Pacq. and Marquez

[donnydarkoIRL]

Pacquiao's strengths:
Pacquiao has advantageous elements in abundance.
A strong fighter, with a potentially devastating left hand, his southpaw stance gives him a natural advantage.
Pac's stamina and conditioning are a major plus because of his ability to maintain a high pace over the duration, although primarily a power puncher he does possess speed and a number of combinations also.

Pacquiao's weaknesses:
Pacquiao once he begins to trade often neglects his stance, standing very square on, and therefore not exploiting his advantage as a southpaw.
This stance also leabves him open to counter and with his tendency to lunge when frustrated pacquiao is open to counters.
His chin is sound, but his body has been questioned in the past and with his brother so famously stopped on a body shot in the past, it is possibly this is genetic and cannot be worked on.

Marquez's strength:
Often slick boxers and counter punchers are lacking in endurance. MARQUEZ IS TEAK TOUGH, RUGGED AND ALSO POSSESED OF A CERTAIN DEGRE OF POWER. hIS RESILIENCE IS FAMED AFTER SURVING THE FIRST ROUND AGAINST PAC IN THEIR FIRST FIGHT. hIS COUNTER PUNCHING, ALTHOUGH NEGLECTED IN RECENT times is among the best in modern boxing.
Coupled with his boxing brain he is a dangerous fighter.

Marquez's weaknesses
Marquez was down against Pacquiao no less than three times in their first meeting. He may well be vulnearable to Pac's power. Furthermore he has been known to be a slow starter, a dangerous tactic against a Pacquaio who will start fast and refuse to wilt later.
Finally, Marquez like his brother has a tendency to brawl, neglecting his advantage in skill and speed.

macho and donny.. good points guys.. have some rep on me..
i might add that marquez's chin is a little ? especially with his willingness to brawl lately, but he has lots of strenghts especially his counterpunching skills. thats something that pac has to take a lot of considerations for.

2 thumbs up for breaking down the variables: The strengths are obvious as are the weakness. The question is which has the better fight plan to capitalize on the weakness. What you omitted from your post is the mental expenditure that Pac taxes on his opponents. Just knowing that Pac can lay you out with a single punch has to take away from your offensive plan and has to wear on his opponents in the later rounds. C'mon you need to be focused every second of every round with Pac

Expect JMM to counter but he will provide a hefty dosage of jabs to keep keep Pac honest . JMM's bread and butter will be the upper cut which will be available to him all night if Pac plods in his usual fashion to disrupt JMM Countering rhythem.

It will be Pac's Power vs JMM Rhythem.

Neither can fight the others fight. Pac can not go backwards and JMM can not slug it out unless it follows a damaging right counter thrown after taking a step back to gain power & extension.

Pac, well he can end the fight at almost any given time. If Pac does not disrupt JMM's rhythem and fails to land bombs, he will lose easier than most us could believe/accept. A true styles matchup.
