Anyone really expect Pac/Marquez4 to be more decisve than 1,2 and 3?

If Marquez does decide he needs to be more aggressive then than leaves him open but I wouldn;t rule out Marquez TKO Pac in the late rounds on body shots.

the only thing he needs to change is he needs to be more active. When he did and, he landed clean and it was eyecatching, but it was few and far between.

I think it will be like the 3rd fight with a possibility of another gift decision in favor of Pac.

PLease. Don't make any excuses. Whoever wins give him due credit. These two great warriors always give good fights. Whether it's a brawl or calculated tactical fight I love watching them.

If it was a safe win Manny was after, then there are easier opponents to pick than a guy who's just schooled you last time out, and knows you better than anyone else.

What would Pacman prove by winning. He already beat Marquez before this. Beating Bradley would prove more.. I just don't see it. Marquez is older and they have fought 3 times. Beating Bradley then fighting Mayweather would have proved more to me.

remind me to top this when Marquez convincingly beats Pacquiao this time and gets the victory.

If Pac trains for this fight and doesn't do it 'part time' then I think we simply get another close fight. I actually believe if the fight was at 140 Pac would do better because it would take full time training. Better as in better at 140 than 147.

It was more than decisive enough the 3rd time.

I think Pac trained as hard for the last Marquez fight as he going to train basically. For Marquez III he even started training 2 weeks earlier because he was serious about putting the doubts to rest. The problem is, the longer in the tooth both these guys get, the more it favors Marquez' fighting style, where ring intelligence and the ability to adapt become more and more crucial. Pacquiao, as he loses his reflexes, speed and leg movement, is going to become more and more of a sitting target for Marquez' precision counters.

Marquez wins this one by clear UD, and the judges will give him the nod this time.

I dont care if its more decisive as long as the right guy finally gets the decision.

Good to go.

Actually, that makes good sense. At least on paper. It will be interesting to see if that is the scenario that plays out.

Yea I agree as well.

In fact, Divac said it a long time ago the higher in weight these two fight, the more it favors Marquez. Of course everyone ridiculed him but that's because there used to be even more pactards before Marquez whipped his ass in the third fight.

Bottom line. Scoring the third fight was problamatic at best for me. Defense by both was way under rated. I scored some rounds based on ONE punch.

Is it too soon to remind you yet?

Had almost forgotten about this thread but saw something tonight that jarred my memory. Of course both camps are saying the 'right things' as usual so not much to glean from that.
