    :yep Pac knows JMM's style is that of a boxer/counter puncher. Meaning Juan will wait for opportunities, lay traps and try to capitalize. At least Juan fights in spots! Shane and Tim RAN the whole night and produced fights that weren't exciting.

    PAC is trying his best to bait JMM into a fire fight that he knows plays into his hands. If Juan obliges....we could see a finite conclusion on this rivalry. A KO or TKO would put a seal on this. The fight ending early favors Manny....going the distance has proven to be pretty even but gives JMM a better shot at pulling out a W as long as he can stay on his feet.

    Because going toe to toe is the key for pacquiao to score a KD. and Pac doesnt want Marquez to "run" because it frustrates him. That's why Pac want JMM to go in there and brawl each other out, but naaah, Marquez is too smart for that.

    Of course he will. After reading that, I'm sure he will stick to his game-plan even more now. That's a desperate attempt from Pacquiao and a bad sign in my opinion.

    :deal Pacquiao knows he can't match JMM in ring IQ and he knows he won't be able to cut the ring off either. Wants the man to abandon his style. :lol:

    His last game plan let the judges give the fight to Pac for coming forward to make the fight. If Juan fights like he is willing to leave it in the judges hands again then he has no right to ***** at their decision.

    I agree.....but at the end of the day PAC will have to FORCE Juan to battle it out. If he can apply enough pressure and keep the fight at a distance that is comfortable for Manny, Juan won't have a choice but to fight. The problem is PAC respects what JMM brings to the ring as a boxer and the last time he was thinking way too much and not letting his hands go. PAC's not a cerebral fighter...PAC is an instinctual fighter. He's at his best when he's throwing combinations and working non stop. It's when he begins to think too much and not let his hands go that we see a lesser version of Manny.

    I thought the whole point of this fight was to leave nothing to chance? If JMM goes about it like bizness as usual, why bother for a 4th? Seriously? Is he going to KO Pac from afar?

    Its funny how some of you think JMM ran from Manny in the 3rd fight. All Marquez did was control the range and he will once again. Freaking Hilarious

    Hate to say this, but that's nonsense. No fighter is subjected to fight in a certain way to win a title, that's the man's style. If he decides to dump that and engage he's giving Pacquiao what he wants for free. Marquez' style and will is what makes it a close tough fight for Pacquiao. It's like a chess game where one guy decides to be overaggressive and dumb to satisfy viewers only to be sacked 3 minutes in.

    Because we already know what happens when the two of you have a "box off", right Manny?

    Tsk tsk and Marquez is Mexican? tsk tsk. Mexicans start to counter punch when meeting the Pinoy power.If they didn't they'd be riding a bicycle on their back.

    JMM didn't run from Manny in any of the fights. Shane and Tim "RAN" from PAC. JMM did exactly what he's done in all the fights. He acted as the matador...PAC acted as the Bull. The 3rd fight Juan had his most success controlling range and distance. The pace or tempo of the fight was set by PAC.... but in the last fight, Manny wasn't nearly as busy as he should have been.

    The problem is Juan hasn't had decisions go his way by NOT pressing the action more...trying to impose his will over his rival who officially hold 2 wins over him.

    The 4th fight people are looking for an emphatic conclusion to end the rivalry. If JMM goes out and fights the exact same way....then if he doesn't get the decision he can't be upset or mad. He would have had 4 chances to make the adjustments to beat PAC if that is at all possible for the mexican boxer.

    To ******s, movement = running. None of these idiots know how much skill, conditioning and stamina it takes to move properly in the ring.

    So in other words people think JMM needs to brawl instead of box. :patsch
