First of all the Pac fight is on Dec. 8th and second, where does it say he is going to fight Marquez? He still has not decided who he is going fight yet. If it is all about the money, then he should fight Bradley and stop him and this will bring much more interest in any future opponents.
Surprising reading this coming from you! I think you're right though, he has to win here for the 50/50 and it will also do wonders for his legacy and history will remember this fight as settling the score. I think he wins this fight decisively however. Mayweather on the other hand should be regretting his choice in not fighting Pac sooner. I mean, Pac has looked less than stellar in his last 3 fights. May probably would have beat him handily and could have cemented his place in history with a win over the great but much hyped 'pacman'. This fight is meaningless, Mayweather and Pacquiao were perceived equals, yet now the boxing landscape far and away predict Mayweather as the winner. For Mayweather to do anything other win in spectactular fashion would be underwhelming. On a side note, I will still order this fight. They will sell this fight using "styles make fights", and "Mayweather struggles with southpaws and aggressive pressure fighters".
Maybe Arum gets the KO that was supposed to happen since the first fight. (So everyone can forget about the 3 wins Marquez was boned over) ^It is what they are hoping for.
i love it.. 3 great fights.. no doubt this fight will be good too.. Hope JMM will box his ears off again..
Timothy Bradley * Most people had Pacquiao who won that fight. * Not enough Money, Did only 700k PPVs. Miguel Cotto * Pacquiao TKO'd Cotto in the 12th round. * Pacquiao already decided after the Margarito fight that he would never fight @ 154 again. Marquez at this point makes sense but honestly who else is there to fight other than Mayweather jr? Both sides wont even negotiate.
Pretty good assessment and I agree. And yes, I am capable of making a critical comment on Manny Pacquiao. I have to order the fight. Pac fights are superbowls for filipino families and friends. Mosley, Bradley, and JMM fights have been major stinkers. The worst part is that the undercards have been even shittier than the main events and that's really sad.
Perfect. Out of Cotto, Bradley, and Marquez, Juan Manuel is the only guy who should've beaten Pacquiao. Perhaps even three times. Bradley got a gift and Cotto was battered from pillar to post. Juan Manuel gets another great payday and an opportunity to get his revenge. And it'll surely be another great fight to watch.
Good fight. Hopefully bradley gets the winner. Hopefully the winner is legitimate (by that I mean they agree with my scorecard)
