Pacquiao Should Fight Flat-Footed to Win!

would certainly make a firework filled 4th installment

i mean it might work but its not his style

i will say no matter what the popular opinion may be officially he is 2-0-1, which leads me to believe it is Juan not him who needs to do something different

Though it would be in Manny's best interest to do something to make this fight easier than the first 3

i dont know if a pitched battle is really what he needs, he would be giving Marquez an easier chance at hitting him as Juan in the 2 wars he had with Diaz and Katsidis saw struggles and one knockdown but he eventually war these guys down toe to toe and uppercutted them big time

i think it would be interesting to make Juan lead and to counter Juan though common wisdom would say for Pac to get the nod again like he did in the 2 fights and settled for the draw he has to be a busy whirlwind out work and out flash Juan

 

Pacquiao isn't really known for his ability to cut the ring off, if he was fighting flat footed and wasn't able to cut fhe ring off Marquez will have and easier time as his lateral movement will win him the fight.

 

i think you can counter a master counter puncher, i mean isnt his job to counter, if you make the master counter puncher lead he is out of his comfort zone

i dont think Manny has the patience to do it to Juan and i think Juan would be willing to wait and take booing rather than get stupidly aggressive

 

because jmm will fight pac like he way he fought katsidis or juan diaz.

 

If Manny employs the same tactics as Katsidis he puts himself at a higher risk of getting stopped, JMM would figure out what Manny is trying to do pretty quickly and pepper him with uppercuts until Manny reverted to his usual style or lose motivation after getting his face busted open, I have respect for both fighters but if they both show up with the same mindset as last time then JMM wins or gets robbed and even if Manny does hurt JMM he should be able to recover because he does have a great ability to recover and then win fights.

Just several factors to consider.

 

I have never seen Pacquiao changing his style. That's why JMM knew well how to deal with it.

 

Pac isn't an infighter. He's at his best at mid-range. Marquez might actually be better at close range, because he can bend to the side and shoot uppercuts and straight shots. He does a lot more ducking and swivelling than Pac on the inside, making him harder to hit. He might also have better, more accurate combinations than Pac on the inside too.

His inside work against Katsidis:

The problem Pac has is that Marquez neutralises him at range by constantly moving and turning, ducking under his straight left and coming up with counters, and on the inside he's actually more comfortable than Pac. It's a tough style match up, and always will be.

I have no idea why Pac's team would actually let him fight Marquez four times. It's crazy, considering the difficulties and frustration he always experiences.

 

I don't know what you saw in the Marquez vs Katsidis fight, but that approach isn't any help or even worth mentioning. Not with Pacquiao in mind, anyway.
Katsidis was "punishing" Marquez as hard as Zelenoff did Mayweather Sr.

 

:deal

"Flat-footedness" isn't even what gave Katsidis any success, that's a silly notion. All that would do is make it easier for JMM to turn him. If Pac is going to do anything to JMM, he has to feint and get the angle on him, and mix up his attack to trigger JMM and catch him in an exchange with something hard. Given the patience JMM showed in the last fight, assuming he doesn't get reckless, it's not likely that occurs.

 

Pac must go all out turn up the heat and hope he gets a lucky punch like pt. 2 but this time hopefully Marquez aged enough to keep him down or recuperate slower to finish him off, Pac ain't gonna win impressively with a tight guard and trying to outsmart a incredibly smart fighter the mental IQ is to immense, Pac must drop his shield and go all out agressive frenzy!
