    Manny Pacquiao says his third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12 will determine once and for all who is the better man. Pacquiao holds the upper hand after their first two match-ups - the first being a draw in 2004 followed by a split-decision win for the Filipino four years later.

    Marquez insists he should have got the verdict on both occasions, but Pacquiao said he would not leave any room for doubt this time."I won't let that happen," Pacquiao said. "And I have to train hard for this fight and to give my best and to give a good show."This is the fight that will answer all the questions."Marquez recognises the third leg of the trilogy will be the hardest with Pacquiao having defeated all-comers since their last fight."This is a different fight, because he changed," he said. "He's working with two hands. He uses the right hand."

    Meh. Marquez will be what, 38 or 39? Thats ancient for a lightweight fighter.

    There was never any doubt in the first place.

    Stylistically, Marquez and Pacquiao put on great fights, but I think it's unfair on Pacquiao to spin it as if Marquez beats Pac. They're pretty even, if Marquez wins via a round or two or Pac does, I can't say either one is better. Even in the first fight where Marquez got knocked down 3 times, you'd think he'd go on to dominate the fight ala B-Hop but it was still a close fight. This is more about the rounds, it's about who takes each one on each card rather than Marquez is outclassing Pac for the second half of the fight or something. They go back and forth.

    That said, Pac will obliterate him this time around. Ironically it's a fight where you're left saying Pacquiao is "just too big" after saying the same about all of Pac's recent opponents. It's quite fascinating.

    people are trying to put off jmm but he always comes to fight even if the odds are stacked against him. he fought floyd on an uneven playing field and he showed his heart.

    he will always give pac problems. he is focused and always comes in prepared. at 37 he's still much better than most of the younger guys and he's shown that in all his previous legit fights.

    pac will win much more decisively. but it won't be the same as floyds. styles make fights.

    This is mismatch and you all know it. Marquez is fighting above his weight limit so therefore he will not be able to handle the pressure and speed of pacman. Pacman wins this fight easily. very easily!

    Why so sure? Marquez against Floyd looked exactly like Mosley did against Floyd.

    It's not a good fight and Pacquiao will be facing a very average welterweight, but yeah, he'll destroy Marquez.

    I will be SHOCKED if Pac doesn't handle Marquez far better than he did the the previous two fights.. If those were that close this shouldn't be..

    I will be placing every penny I've got on Pacquiao by stoppage. This fight will not be competitive. Pacquiao won't be drained like he was in their previous two fights.
