    I see it the same way albeit a close UD for Juan.

    If PAC can avoid some of these punches I can also see a decision for him.

    I really cannot question both mans hunger. I cant see any excuses either both are having exceptional camps.

    I'm a PAc fan and of course hoping for a stoppage just because if it does happen...It'll be wow, I can see him on Leno

    I don't think I have seen too many haters for Pacquiao himself. I have seen many people labeled that by his fans. But more people dislike them than Pacquiao.

    Pac deserves all the props in the world.

    Many of you here only knew him when he fought MAB. But long before that, he fought and KOed some never-before-koed tough as a nail guys like Hussein, Sakmuangklang, Julio. He also beat damn good boxers like Sasakul and Ledwaba.

    I really think Pac's best weight is at 122 lbs and that he could have just continued fighting his old style and simply blast everyone away at that weight. He doesn't have to have the "boxing" skills he has supposedly gotten now. So for him to be fighting at 126 - 130 lbs and against top quality opposition speaks of how great he is.

    He fought a prime MAB on a 2-weeks notice for a minimal purse. MAB at that time was ranked #2 P4P, nobody gave Pac a chance. During the fight, MAB did all the dirty tricks in the book with the idiot ref Lawrence Cole as his accomplice. Pac KHTFO. Ya'll must've forgot.

    He would have (and has) obviously outgrown that weight class.

    From me he gets a lot of Props. But generally in ESB there's a lot of you guys who never really give props. They always give excuses that Pac only beat OLD & SHOT fighters.

    6 years ago Nobody would've ever believed that Pac could KO both MAB & EM. I'm sure all of you here would have said It's a rediculous Predictions.

    Like others have said, people don't have any problems with Pac, they have a problem with his fans.. like the maniac above me. I have always loved watching Pac fight and cheered for him when he wasn't fighting MAB, Morales, or JMM. He's a great fighter and someone who truly gives 100% in fights. It's amazing what he has accomplished with such a one-dimensional style and life full of distractions, but that one dimension is incredible and his focus has been too. He's an offensive machine who never stops and doesn't get frustrated, just keeps on pushing and breaks his opponents physically/mentally.

    BTW, JMM UD Pac, Guzman easy UD Pac.

    same reason why some of the great fighters dont get the props they deserve, because the most visible posters are sometimes the worst huggers...the hate is then associated to the fighter

    It seems that there is lot of lost love between you and the poster above you. :!: Sometimes, you just have to learn to live with them. They have a different perspective and hence you will not meet when it comes to the predictions. You go for the bigger probabilities to win the fight (as most of us do) while some go for the smaller probabilities. They look absurd because of this and most cannot accept their predictions. But we have to learn to accept to live with them. They may look stupid because of their predictions (which have a smaller probability of winning) but so be it. Let them do it.

    As for Pac, I don't know if anyone really dislikes him. It's just that some posters are rooting for his opponent for a lot of reasons. It's also true that some wants him to lose just for the sake of shutting down the Pac fanatics.

    For many, this is a no win fight for Pacquiao. If he loses, he was outclassed by a master craftsman for the 2nd time. If he wins it's only because Marquez is 4 years older and way past it this time around. As a PacFan these are the things I can anticipate hearing.

    Yes, the pac haters will say that for sure but for some mature fans. They will give where credit is due.
