Ring smarts? Maybe but the thing is..manny has now got ring smarts too. According to Freddie Roach, he now executes the fight plan to perfection. He has only said that of him the past 3 fights (Diaz, dela Hoya and Hatton).

So Manny has continuously improved and is getting smarter every fight. Ring smarts will only work if its not countered by another strategy.

I see Roach and Manny studying either PBF or Marquez and executing a fight plan maybe to perfection. As I have said in my previous posts, many people opined that Manny's most difficult fights were with counter punchers. I look at it differently. I think Manny's previous style made it very difficult for counter punchers. Let's analyze the Marquez/Pacquiao. Marquez could have easily won given his counter punching ways but he had a difficult time with Manny. That was with the old Manny P. Given Manny's new skills, I think he will give Marquez more problems as well. Will Marquez win? Maybe but I will put my money on Pacman solidly this time. Same with PBF but only at 140.
