    Super bantamweight, prime for prime. We all know about Manny's fights against the big brother. Would Rafael Marquez have had the same tough style for him? Manny at 122 wasn't at his best, but he was still pretty rad.

    Who would you guys pick?

    You know I really didn’t get to watch Rafael was he as good as Marquez? I understand he was trained mostly by the farther and JMM went another way.

    Rafa would've been much easier for Pacquiao than Juan. Rafael was more stationary, was moving his head even less - right there to be hit with that left hand. Probably a bit slower also.
