WAR Marquez, such a warrior!

[Light_Speed]

good. cus he just might.

You beat me to it.

For JMM this is a wish come true and the Pacman is really very excited to give it to the Pee-man. JMM made a lot of noise to catch the attention of Manny Pacquiao's corner and he succeeded. We all know that Manny Pacquiao got angry because of the pee-man's claim that he beat the Pacman twice. Manny Pacquiao is capable of hitting very hard when he is mad. That is the reason why JMM is saying he is ready to die. We hope and pray that JMM already contacted a good care giver for him...on his painful retirement.

I can't believe that anyone is even defending this fight, Marquez is finna get the WORST asswhooping ever!!!!

Even worse that the one Mayweather gave him, simply because Pacquiao has more power than Mayweather, yes boxing is a thinking mans game, but Marquez is out of his weight, out powered, against a bigger man and a FASTER man.

And JMM is one of my favorite boxers of this generation, that's why it hurts me to admit the asswhooping he is about to get.

I've got to agree with you. I believe you to be right but hope that you are incorrect. Marquez is leaps and bound more skilled than Manny Pacquiao, but when Manny's magic juice is loose his punch output is up there with bantamweights. Its not Manny's power or his speed that wins fights. It his workrate. He rarely gets tired and can throw 100 punches per round.

That isn't particularly skillful, but it is effective to keep an opponent on the defense for 12 rounds. Its frustration, and tends to force opponents to make mistakes because they aren't equipped to defend and counter on that level. Floyd definitely is, as that is what he excels at, but Marquez will stand and trade. And unless Marquez makes each punch count and makes Manny reluctant to keep attacking early on by hurting him, I fear he will get overwhelmed like he did in the first round of their first fight.

I think Marquez should fight his usual fight except for one aspect:

When Pacquiao gets into his rhythm and wants to throw his right, right big left hand and do it over and over again ... Marquez needs to Ricky Hatton him like Hatton did to Tszyu. Get inside and make it a dog fight. Clinch, hurt him and repeat. Then once the ref breaks them up, go back to using his boxing skills. When Manny tries to rally, Clinch, hurt him and repeat.

I've never seen Manny do well in a close quarter fight against someone of Marquez skill level. Marquez has great defense and can protect himself in close, but I've never seen Manny tested that way. I think Juan Manuel can hurt Manny to the body and take the stamina out of him ... effectively slowing down Pac's punch output and desire to continuously engage.

I believe that Marquez would have a better than average chance with those tactics. He can execute that plan, and with the extra muscle he puts on he might just acquire a bit more thud to his body punches.

The only other thing I would think to add to his training is extra conditioning. He's got to stay active for all 12 rounds. Marquez has got to convince the judges that he is in control and not just trying to stay alive. Everytime Pacquiao does something to look good, Marquez has GOT to make him look bad.

Juan Manuel has done this to Pacquiao before. And like I've said, Manny has NOT improved skill-wise at any point. Its the workrate I'm worried about. Its the workrate that Marquez better be worried about too.

Good news for you, Juan!.....

...you are not going to die....Pac's just going to put you to sleep! Bigger guys with stronger KO power failed to KO Pac before, but I would love to see Juan KO Pacman for a change.

MANILA, Philippines — Manny Pacquiao has somewhat given in to the demands of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Top Rank chief Bob Arum told the website ESPN that Pacquiao will agree to “unlimited random (blood) testing (to be) done by a responsible, neutral organization.”

Arum said the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the body Mayweather wants to handle the tests, is not a neutral organization and that there are other groups that can “handle the test under the supervision of the athletic commission respective of the state where the fight is going to be held.”

Efforts to stage a sure box-office and PPV success event like the Pacquiao-Mayweather match have failed in the past owing to the issue of random testing and revenmue split.

Arum hopes that Pacquiao’s decision to accept Mayweather’s challenge will pave the way for the fight to take place in 2012.

Pacquiao and Mayweather have scheduled fights in the coming months and it is of course paramount for them to hurdle these obstacles.

Mayweather faces southpaw Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, while Pacquiao meets Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12. Both fights are going to be staged at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao and Mayweather are both heavy favorites to repulse their respective opponents.
