    I don't think Mayweather vs Pacquiao will happen.

    It's way too risky for Floyd. He might lose.

    Marquez vs Pacquiao III is the biggest fight in boxing. P4P's #1 & #2 going at it..... can't wait :happy

    yep,floyd is the king of preservation--retire/un-retire/retire/un-retire,,it's why i've lost interest generally in him-i'm hoping that this isn't the way the sport is going ......

    i agree paq-marquez is big !- cannot wait,i've a feeling that pacman has his toughest test since they last fought...

    Who are you picking, BB?

    IMO Marquez just has Pacquiao's number and we're in for another epic. What a legend Marquez is, he's just so mentally strong and he'll NEVER capitulate in a loss, There's no give in him whatsoever. What he did coming back from those KD's was one the greatest things i've EVER seen.

    I have no doubt Pacquiao will hurt/knockdown Marquez multiple times again, but i also have no doubt that Marquez will cause Pacquiao more problems then anyone he's fought since their last encounter.

    I think we'll see more of his type to be honest, though not quite as bad.

    What's even stranger is that his fans think he'll change the habit of a lifetime and start fighting the best fighters in his mid-30's :lol:

    Marquez will test him for sure, at least this has intrigue unlike his last three fights, which were boring to be honest.

    I agree with you that we are in for a cracking contest, they just bring something out of eachother that not many other pairings do.

    Pacquiao brings the fire out of Marquez and Marquez brings the underrated intelligence out of Manny.

    I think that Marquez might have just slipped enough for Pacquiao to beat him fairly clearly on points..... but Manny didn't look quite the same in his last fight, albeit against an embarrassingly negative/disinterested Mosley.

    I just hope that we get a fair decision if the fight is close. Marquez shut Pacquiao down for prolonged periods in the second fight and to me seemed a fairly obvious winner.

    Maybe it's just me, but Mayweather really doesn't interest me anymore, I'd rather see two proper fighters get in there and have a contest rather than listening to a foul mouthed knobber criticising other fighters that have far less to prove!

    Marquez still has enough left to give Pacquiao a 'life and death' struggle. I think Pacquiao will edge it.

    It's gonna be the first time in a while that Manny has faced someone who can swim against his tide and has the ability to make him pay for mistakes. Because of the styles it's gonna be tooth and nail yet again, I certianly wouldn't bet the house on Manny and I don't think the weight is an issue either as some seem to think.

    I will buy anyone a pint if they can get on the news by saying something mean to PacMan.

    There's all kinds of good bets on this fight I feel.

    Marquez to be knocked down evens
    Marquez by decision 11/1
    Pacquiao by decision evens
    Pacquiao 7-12 11/4

    What's Marquez to drop Manny at any point?

    Clever move by Arum.Going global improves the PPV market and means mega-bucks for Manny and Top Rank.Arum knows how to promote.

    I reckon Floyd will pull in more punters than Pacquiao and Marquez when he comes to the UK as part of his promo tour.

    Pacquiao dominates, easy win... He's in a different class compared to when they last fought. Could be pacquiao morales III all over again!
