Pacquiao wins going away and makes Marquez look old in this fight. JMO.

Makes sense to finish their somewhat competitive series in typical boxing trilogy form, but not the fight the public wants.

I don't disagree, but Marquez is how many years older now? Mexican fighters seem to get old overnight. This probably has a lot to do with their "tough" way of fighting. They take lots of shots. However, Pac Man is having trouble with his legs and might have lost a step.

It might make for a good fight.

Next fight I'm looking forward to is Haye vs Wlad. Of course, Haye will probably wrench his back two weeks before the fight and have to pull out. If it doesn't happen it will be nice to see Wlad actually be mad in the ring and throw like he used to before Manny got ahold of him. His style now is more efficient and better in the long run, but Wlad used to not care about getting gassed. He was just on a search and destroy mission.

He mentioned Zab Judah and Timothy Bradley Jr., both junior welterweight titleholders, as alternatives to Marquez immediately after Pacquiao beat Mosley, but he said neither are likely.


Arum doesnt want his boy anywhere near Judah or Bradley, guys who are fast and can actually box him...

Somewhat competitive???? Both fights were very good fights... In the first fight Pacquiao dropped Marquez 3 times in the first round. Then Marquez pretty much shut Pacquiao out the rest of the way. Most people feel that Marquez won that fight which was called a draw. The second fight Pacquiao was given a gift split decision in which Marquez should have also won. A 3rd fight makes sense, but a few years too late.
