    This is a very ignorant comment can you provide the source. Marquez fought very intelligent and maintained a proper distance. He would faint, make Pac react, and counter him, not at all running just maintaining proper distance. If Pac did say this, it's just a mental tactic to try to get Marquez out of his game plan.

    Prove what he's a dumbass for fighting his fight? Why in the hell would JMM need to do that? That's what's gotten JMM into trouble in earlier fights by engaging Pac instead of boxing, of course Pac wants him to do that. JMM needs to do exactly what he's been doing using educated footwork boxing and countering no need for going toe to toe that's for suckers. He will prove plenty by boxing Pac's socks off and giving him a lesson in the sweet science.:deal

    JMM will just run away like the last 3 fights and he will lose yet again.

    Marquez is one of the smartest fighters around. He's not going to do something silly like that.

    Manny wants Jmm to change his style to better suit his. What a ridiculous request. If Manny desires to win in an impressive fashion he needs to press the action more and not become gun shy when Jmm counters him to the face.

    When he's countered he's pretty much positioned to not be able to fire back immediately otherwise he will be off-balance. It's all about positioning in this sport and skilled fighters can manipulate opponents into bad positions to land their own at will.

    I hope he didn't say that for real because it would just be admitting that he has no answer for people who box him and Freddy Roach is not teaching him how to properly fight a boxer, that is the oldest saying next to "styles make fight" "you fight a boxer and box a fighter" he should be telling freddy roach to teach him how to cut the ring off and trap a fighter, Manny has an extreme advantage in foot speed, and athleticism, him trapping Marquez based on them 2 traits alone should be easy

    Don't claim you beat someone just because you are the "aggressor" when all that aggression was getting used against you. There is a difference between effective aggression and ineffective aggression. There are techniques to force defensive minded fighter to engage in a more aggressive fight, but one has to have the ring IQ to do so.

    Its kind of sad with all that speed, explosiveness and quote unquote "great footwork" he cant stop a slow, flat footed fighter from out maneuvering him, Marquez back never touches a rope when they fight how is that possible if Manny's footwork is so outstanding

    Bc his footwork is not great. People confuse his foot speed with foot work and he lacks great footwork.

    Again itsa matter of principle. I have feeling that Pac is from the "muy macho" school of fighting. He's more instinctive. In the wild, animals literally butt heads to achieve alpha male status. This is Pacquiao's mentality and why his style is more appealing. Jmms style gives him the best chance of winning but imo Pac is saying why not put it all in the line and go balls out if you really wanna prove who the top dog is. Obviously this works in favor for Pac....coz Jmm might be the better boxer but Pacquiao is the far greater fighter.

    That 2 Knockouts was before he hit the Main stream, Since hooking up with Roach, Pac's chin is solid.
