    Still not seen the fight, was manny that bad for you guys to say he's regressed? I don't know, the vibe I've picked up on esb this morning is that Marquez got robbed, what happened?

    TBH it didn't look to me like Pac had any trouble closing the distance, the problem he had was getting countered when he got there so he as hesitant to do it too often.

    Floyd will NEVER fight Manny.

    I mean, if you have the moniker 'Money' and turn down THE BIGGEST PAYDAY OF YOUR CAREER, what does that say about you?

    Manny, especially in the mid rounds was releuctant to pull the trigger simply becuse he knew he was gonna get countered. Marquez was ultra sharp last night, cannot see how Manny got the decision based on the fact he hardly landed clean in 12 rounds where as JMM was snapping Manny's head back when he landed

    Pacquiao is on the slide judging from past two performances. He seems to be lacking that killer instinct he once had. Pacquiao cant pull the trigger anymore.

    Floyd will school Pacquiao at this point. It's the perfect time for Floyd.

    I disagree. Im a bigger admirer of Marquez than Mayweather, but Mayweather has the same precision right hand, has a better left hook, and his timing is at least as good.
    Mayweather also is stronger in the clinch and punches harder than JMM.
    He is also less inclined to get into a war like JMM is inclined too(or was in fights 1 and 2), and even last night you could sense he was dying to have a tear up with Pac.
    Nacho kept saying dont let this son of a ***** have a chance to knock you out.
    Mayweather takes no chances at all, sets traps like JMM and I cant see how Pac does any better v Mayweather than JMM.

    After watching the post fight interviews, I want to say that I really hope we don't get Pacquiao - Marquez 4

    It'd be pointless and you've got to wonder how Marquez could even bother getting motivated again.

    Not forgetting Mayweather has far faster hand and foot speed than Marquez.

    Yep, good point!

    When you consider he's 0-2-1 against Pacquaio and he could well of been 3-0-0 or atleast 2-0-1.

    Manny for the last couple of years has fought some fantastic names and some feared fighters but they all did the wrong things against him.

    They believed they was bigger and could just bully him, whilst doing this they walked into the storm of punches. Mosley was the first in recent times to go onto backfoot. Although negative he was showing that Manny likes him man right in front of him or walking towards. He falls in and struggles to judge range he likes to land and get balance off fighters and work away.

    Mayweather has waited and waited for Manny to have these fights knowing he's getting older and slowly the wear and tear will show and then make his move which i think he will.

    Mayweather as i've said for years i believe Floyd will beat Manny. The Cotto fight Pac had no response to the jab and Mosley and Marquez have shown if you work away from Manny and to his right he cannot cut ring off.

    Exactly, he must be thinking 'what have i got to do to get a win against this guy?'
