pacquiao marquez

• Question:-pacquiao-marquez?
  Who watched and believed Marquez won? That Pacquiao, despite 3rd round, was just too too wild and that for 3/4 of the fight, including ending, Marquez dictated? 3rd fight?
  
  Answer:-One knockdown doesnt make a winner. Juan Manuel Marquez dictated that fight and landed more and the sharper punches. Pacquaio afns say dont be a sore loser but when it is the second time around and once again the better fighter didnt get the decision, it gets a little tough to not be sore. Boxing fans can be emotional and there is nothing wrong with that. Most of the media and fans believe Marquez did enough to win. Period. Pacquiao may have the belt but Marquez exposed him.
• Question:-How is pacquiao-marquez not the biggest fight to be made right now?
  The top two guys in the p4p rankings who have had two extremely competitive and entertaining fights. Mayweather is injured and when has he ever had an exciting fight that lived up to it's hype? Maybe the first fight with castillo. Why can't we see pacquiao-marquez 3 and a rematch with cotto-mosely. Then the winners can fight after that. Maybe the losers can fight too. I'm not all that interested in seeing mayweather in the mix. Anyway, why won't the lords of the boxing universe make this happen, doesn't it make sense?
  
  Answer:-Because a lot of people are still fooled by Mayweather coming back. They still buy the hype he tries to make. Most of them are just nut-huggers though. Some boxing fans actually show no interest on Mayweather-Marquez fight because of the fact that they are both counter-punchers.
  
  You have a valid point. Pacquiao-Marquez lll is the best fight for boxing "style-wise" but not money-wise. It's all about the money and the biggest Money fight out there is Pacquiao-Mayweather.
• Question:-Pacquiao-Marquez?
  Do you think it's time for the long awaited rematch?!?!?! And who do you think would win? and how?
  
  Answer:-This one is easy. Pacquiao will knock the life out of Marquez. Based on the last fight, when the Pacman is still learning how to fight, he demolished the Mexican fighter. Pacman clearly won the fight despite his raw talent. It was scored a draw due to scoring error by the Canadian judge (he admitted his mistake after the fight), awarding Pacman a single point when Marquez was sent down to the canvass thrice. This time Pacman cannot be cheated, he's leaving nothing to chance. My prediction will be Pacman in 2. Marquez going "No mas! No mas!"
• Question:-Bob Arum is said to be working on another Pacquiao-Marquez fight, what do you think?
  Should Pacquiao fight Marquez again?
  Do you think Pacquiao is a sure win in such re-match?
  
  Answer:-I have always been interested in wanting to see Pacquiao vs Marquez III, but if Pacquiao wins on Saturday.... this will not be the time for a 3rd match with Marquez. It will be time for Pacquiao vs Mayweather.... the fight that the entire world wants to see! I think it's an attempt to lure in Mayweather for a fight. Arum wants to send a message that he will place Pacquiao in another fight in a heartbeat if he is not open for negotiations.
  
  On the other hand, if Pacquiao loses on Saturday night.... well, bring on Pacquiao vs Marquez III, it would then be the perfect time for this match.
• Question:-How much has Pacquiao and Marquez changed since their last meeting?
  Who do you think has improved better as a fighter and how do you think will that improvement pay off in their oct 12 meeting. Has Pacquiao developed enough technical boxing skills to not eat a lot of Marquezs counters? Has Marquez better refined his style against Pacquiaos onslaught, will we see a more effective marquez at welterweight due to some changes in his training?
  
  Answer:-Manny Pacqauio has improved his Right-Hand (Jab and Hook) leaps and bounds since their first two fights which means the predictably of his attack isn't going to be as easy as before. He's morphed into a much better athlete physically as well, strength, speed, power, and conditioning.
  
  Juan Manuel Marquez, honestly, he hasn't improved and in my own personal opinion he's declined to some degree over the last few years. He hasn't improved athletically when Manny has, he hasn't handled the move in weight successfully when Manny has, and he's getting knocked down by fighters like Micheal Katsidis who's a B-level opponent at best.
  
  Personally, I think this fight should have happened a few years ago before Manny got accustomed to Welterweight. He should be able to beat Juan Manuel Marquez pretty convincingly now. This bout will probably be competitive for the first few rounds but once Manny gets warm his size and physical gifts will allow him to dominate Marquez.
• Question:-Should Juan Manual Marquez be the true P4P champ instead of Mayweather or Pacquiao.?
  We got Mayweather over here ducking and dodging fighters( i think he'll lose to Marquez.) And Pacquiao wants all his opponents to drain themselves and we all know Marquez beat Pacquiao. Marquez doesn't duck anybody and he is willing to move up in weight to fight. Why the hell isnt he #1 ???
  JR where the hell do u get ur boxing knowledge??? The round wasnt a 10-4 score u fukcin dumba$$.
  
  Answer:-JOSE M Juan lose to Chris was a highway robbery. Please see the fight on youtube. Juan was dominating Chris every round. Check out the ref he was protecting Chris like if he was his child. Chris did not beat Juan Manuel Marquez, they stole that fight from under him.
  
  Trust me fans if Manny would have never produced those flash knock downs on both fights, JMM would have won both fights convincingly
  However I still think Marquez should have won the second fight.
• Question:-What would Pacquiao or Marquez do to win their third fight?
  Their first and second fights ended with contestable decisions.
  Like the previous ones, this third fight Pacquiao is favored by odds.
  But surely Marquez will once again prove the odd-makers wrong.
  
  Pacquiao is arguably stronger and a relentless offensive monster.
  Marquez is a brainy methodical counter puncher par excellence.
  
  Answer:-BOTH PACQUIAO & MARQUEZ ARE CAPABLE OF WINNING THIS THIRD FIGHT.
  THEY HAVE THE TALENT, EXPERIENCE, MOTIVATION AND GRIT TO WIN IT ALL.
  THEY HAVE RAISED THEIR LEVEL OF ABILITIES SINCE THEIR LAST FIGHTS.
  PACQUIAO IS NOW A TWO-FISTED WRECKER W/DECENT DEFENSIVE MOVES.
  MARQUEZ IS NOW A TECHNICAL BOXER OFFENSIVELY & DEFENSIVELY.
  
  IF PACQUIAO THROWS TONS OF POWERFUL PUNCHES FROM ALL ANGLES;
  IF HE RELENTLESSLY PURSUE AND APPLY FULL PRESSURE ON MARQUEZ
  (FORGET ABOUT GETTING COUNTER-PUNCHED BY A LIGHTWEIGHT, COTTO,
  DELA HOYA AND MARGARITO NEVER MADE A DENT ON PACQUIAO'S BODY)
  PACQUIAO WILL DESTROY MARQUEZ LIKE HE DID TO HIS BIGGER FOES.
  
  MARQUEZ CAN PULL OFF AN UPSET BY NOT TRADING TOE-TO-TOE PUNCHES.
  HE MUST ALWAYS USE HIS DEFENSIVE GENIUS OF COUNTER PUNCHING
  PLUS EXTRA SKILL IN FOOTWORK, PATIENCE AND TIMELY OFFENSE.
  IF HE SURVIVES PAST 7TH ROUND WITHOUT BEING KNOCKED DOWN
  HE'LL WIN THE FIGHT BY DECISION (OF COURSE WITH ARUM'S BLESSINGS!)
  
  BUT, FORGET COMPARING THIS FIGHT FROM THE PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ I & II.
  THE ODDS-MAKERS MAYBE RIGHT THIS TIME AROUND.
• Question:-How much did Pacquiao and Marquez get paid for the 2nd bout?
  What are the numbers for Pacquiao and Marquez just for the fight without PPV royalties?
  
  And if you know, how much did they get for PPV?
  
  Answer:-pacman got around $5M and marquez $1.5M for the, and from what i read manny will be getting a plus or minus $3M from PPV..
• Question:-Who do you think really won in the Marquez-Pacquiao fight?
  When I watched the fight, I really thought that Marquez won, though it was indeed a close fight. Here in Yahoo, the unofficial scorecard is 115-112 for Marquez. I was really surprised that Pacquiao was announced the winner.
  
  Do you think Pacquiao deserved to win? Or was it Marquez who really should have won?
  
  Answer:-It was a close fight and could go either way.
  There are so many close rounds but there are rounds that clearly belongs to Marquez(2,5,6,7) and rounds Clearly belongs to Pacquiao(3,9,10) the rest could go Either way.
  
  I am happy Pacquiao was announce as a winner because I am a Fan.
  
  But I think the Clear winner in that fight are the Fans. It was an Awesome fight these 2 are really made for Each other.
  
  They should have a 3rd Fight this Business is not Finished!
• Question:-Do you rather see Pacquiao fight Marquez over fighters like Maidana, Bradley, or Khan?
  I do not see the Marquez/Pacquiao fight being very competitive @145 because i remember how everyone was complaining how "tubby" and "slow" Juan Marquez looked at @145 last time, but if anyone disagrees with that needs to give Mayweather more credit for the shut out against Marquez.
  
  Would you rather spend your money on a Pacquiao/Marquez fight instead of a fight with a young bull like Marcos Maidana, Tim Bradley, or Amir Khan, if so why?
  
  Answer:-I wouldn't mind seeing Paquiao fight Marquez again.The two previous fights were close and a third fight makes sense.That being said Paquiao is going to win this decisively.Marquez will make a fight of it and give it his all but his age and fighting over 140 will make this a bit lopsided.Marquez is a warrior and a fighter i respect and enjoy watching.He deserves a third fight and a big payday.Paquiao can silence all the critics that thought he lost the two previous fights.Marquez is also a fairly big name that can draw an audience to ppv.
  
  I wouldn't mind seeing Pac fight Maidana,Bradley or Khan and you can add Berto,Ortiz,Cintron,Alexander,and Judah to that list.I think Paquiao would handle all those gentlemen easily and none of them offer any name recognition to attract the casual fans to buy a ppv.There are two fighters out there that could be realistic opponents for Manny and that's Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez.Those two would be his toughest challenges and Paquiao has said that he would fight Martinez if he comes down to 150lbs.As big and talented as Williams and Martinez are i would still go with Paquiao but i could be wrong.

• Question:-Is pacquiao on steroids? And who do you think will win in a fight pacquiao or mayweather?
  Do you think manny is on steroids or PED's ? And who do you think will win in a boxing match mayweather or pacquiao?
  
  Answer:-"Pacquiao on steroid" was the allegationsmade by Mayweathers and after more than two years, they failed to present even the smallest evidence that Pacquiao is on steroid. Dela Hoya who joined the Mayweathers in this accusation against Pacquiao had already asked forgiveness since they could not proved that Pacquiao is on PEDs. Floyd Sr who started this allegation was blaming Mayweathers' fans for taking seriously this supposed "joke". His family is now in hot water and now facing legal suit in court of law.
  
  Having said the above, ONLY fools and stupid people would believe the Mayweathers in this accusation.
  
  If you are stupid, then believe it.
• Question:-What if Pacquiao was a black guy, would he be the favorite son among African Americans over Mayweather?
  Pacquiao defied the odds by being a non-Hispanic, non-black fighter to be recognized universally as the best fighter in the world. However, there are many radical racially motivated people who criticize him for beating Hispanic fighters and avoiding black fighters. What would happen if Pacquiao fit in that majority category, given to the fact that the white people of boxing are Hispanics and blacks, while Asians and others are the minority.
  
  Answer:-An analogy...
  If you MUST vote but don't follow politics and you were white...you would probably vote for McCain...on the other side of the "ying-yang'"
  If you were black , you would probably vote for Obama......
  However, if you knew a lot about politics...then you would "weigh" the difference and choose the best candidate for the job at hand...
  
  To answer your question...
  If you chose 100 blacks that were not exactly loyal boxing fans...I think they would choose PBF...
  But 100 blacks that are loyal boxing fans...I think they would pick Manny over PBF...
  So I guess it depends on whether they are boxing fans or not....and not by their race.....
• Question:-What are your opinions on the pacquiao vs clottey fight?
  1. What are your opinions on the pacquiao vs clottey fight?
  
  2. What do you think should have been the strategy of clottey to beat pacquiao via knock-out?
  
  3. What do you think should have been the strategy of pacquiao to beat clottey via knock-out?
  
  Answer:-People like OCEANV give boxing fans a bad rep. I can't look at a Pacquiao question without seeing someone bring up Floyd Mayweather! this douchebag didn't even ANSWER THE QUESTION! I'm sick of it. & you should be a UFC fan if you think Mayweather's fights are boring. he doesn't run, he can stand in front of you and make you miss every punch you throw and land counters on top of that. If you think Mayweather is boring, then you must think the same about Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, Wilfred Benitez etc. And "Grandpa Mosely" is still a top contender. He dominated Margarito and KO'd Mayorga. HE actually has a chance to beat FM, if you knew a lick about boxing, you'd know that. Unlike Clottey...Clottey was the perfect fight for Pacman, all he does is stand there with his hands up, he can't counter punch to save his life, and his lateral movement is trash. sure he has decent power and a good chin, but a good chin doesn't win fights.
  
  Now to answer the question, what over half of these Pactards failed to do....
  
  1) Like everyone else, I thought it was extremely one-sided. Clottey's style was the perfect match for Pacquiao's. I predicted weeks before the fight that Clottey would just stand there as Pacquiao pummeled him. Pacman is a volume puncher, & since it seemed that Clottey's main objective was to not get knocked out instead of winning, Pacquiao went to Clottey's body whenever he was in a gaurd. Pacman threw over 1200 punches (over 100 punches a round) while Clottey threw 399. a landslide to say the least. And all of the Pactards who dont know squat about boxing, thought Clottey was going to get KO'd within rounds 1-7...I said from the beginning Pacman couldn't KO Clottey, he covers his face too well and his chin is cast iron. if anything the ref would have stopped it with Pacman leaving with a TKO. but this fight was very predictable.
  
  2) SET UP WITH THE JAB!!! Clottey had the reach advantage, he should've used that to his advantage and broke Pacman down with his jab to set up for big hooks to the body and head. he covered up way too much, and he has very little head movement. when Pacman went on his Punching Flurry, Clottey shouldn't just stand there with his hands up, he should've moved his feet and head while making him miss. When boxers miss a punch and hit nothing, it drains them more than if they were to hit your guard. Also Clottey should learn to counter, there were ample opportunities for Clottey to come back with a lead-right during or after one of Pacman's flurries. Another thing that could've helped Clottey is to WRAP UP, like Holyfield did to Tyson, or Ali did to Foreman. after Clottey lands a combo, like his famous right to the body & left to the head, wrap pacman up before he can respond, then push him off. this would've frustrated Pacman and tired him out as well (ala Tyson & Foreman).
  
  3) I dont think there was much more Pacman could do. He out-punched Cottey 3 to 1, and he backed him against the ropes constantly. he also went to Clottey's body to open Clottey up when he was guarding his face, something you're supposed to do. The only thing that could've possibly helped Pacman get a KO or TKO was to land more uppercuts, alot of times there's a whole in Clottey's gaurd that leaves an opening for a looping hook or a hard uppercut, jabs and crosses can't really penetrate it.
• Question:-Who does Pacquiao need to fight in order to become the greatest boxer?
  The chances of Pacquiao fighting another match after Mayweather (if possible) seems extremely slim at this point, but let's imagine that he chooses to continue fighting instead of doing politics. Besides Mayweather who else would he need to beat in order to become this era's greatest boxer? Would he have to move up weight and defeat bigger boxers to claim that status?
  
  Answer:-To become the greatest boxer in this era, Pacquiao needs to continue to perform as he has throughout this decade. The accolades are there and the public just needs time to wrap the minds around what Pacquiao has done. He has obtained a record 7 world titles in 7 seperate weight divisions. NO ONE in the history of boxing has accomplished this, and he will be recognized as the era's greatest boxer when time passes. Pacquiao will SOLIDIFY becomming the greatest boxer EARLIER if he continues to fight the best fighters WILLING to fight him. The only fighter worthy of fighting Pacquiao is Mayweather, and he'll find an excuse not to fight or wait till Pacman is past his prime. Cotto is old news. Margarito has suffered a nasty beating, but will put money in Top Rank's bank account. Berto is a champion but does not deserve a shot at Pacquiao. He is just a strong opponent in his weight class and everyone seems to think he is great. Williams last performance was horrible against a no body, but he needs to come down in weight. Martinez is too heavy and the fight would have to be at a catch weight. It doesn't make sense for Pacquiao to give up that much leverage. He will be considered the best of this era sooner or later, and Mayweather will be considered a close 2nd who had great tangibles, but did not fight other top fighters in their prime. Time is all Pacquiao needs...
• Question:-Are Mayweather and Pacquiao fans to scared to criticize their fighters because of what others think?
  Im a little critical about Sergio wanting to fight Chavez so bad when he could fight Pirog. But Pacquiao and Mayweather fans act like their fighters can't do wrong. And I just want to know if it's because you guys are scared of what others might think or if you really think your fighters really never make mistakes?
  Lol @ Wizard a little to critical man.
  
  Answer:-No, if I'm a big fan of a certain fighter or sports team, then I'm also a big critic of them. I want them to be the best that they can be.
  
  Pavlik is one of my favorite fighters around, and I'm not afraid to say he is an idiot for pulling what he did this week.
  
  Floyd is my favorite fighter, and I don't hesitate to criticize his questionable behavior outside of the ring. He does on occasion act like a douche and make bad decisions. He doesn't fight nearly enough, and being a huge fan of his, these are things I have a problem with. Everyone makes mistakes, and I'm not afraid to point them out.
  
  I don't criticize these guys everyday over their issues, because I can't make Floyd fight or make Pavlik lay off the bottle. If it's something that is a big topic and being discussed a lot, I'll criticize anyone if I feel it's necessary. Even if I don't criticize, I definitely won't defend someone if what they did was wrong.
• Question:-How can Pacquiao prevent himself from being counter punched to death by Mayweather?
  Jim Lampley said at the end of the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight that throwing more punches only creates more opportunities for a excellent counter puncher. We all saw Marquez capitilize off the counter punches of Pacquiao. What will Pacquiao be able to do to prevent being countered.
  
  Answer:-You are dreaming.
  
  How would your lil Floyd counter when he ain't fighting Manny? I mean the chicken is running away dawg. She's shaking scared. Please
• Question:-Who here thinks that Pacquiao has won the fight already, because Mayweather is obviously afraid to fight him?
  If Mayweather is so sure he would lose and is being a sore loser, than is Pacquiao the winner, especially since the fight is no longer happening?
  
  Answer:-Yeah when you have to resort to dirty tactics like what Mayweather is doing, you may actually believe that your opponent has a chance to beat you. And in boxing, such thoughts and mental states are not good if you are actually trying to win a fight.
• Question:-What if Pacquiao pays Marquez outright and pursue the Mayweather fight, would Mayweather do the same?
  Mayweather only makes noise when Pacquiao is occupied. When Pacquiao is available, he's not thinking boxing.
  Floyd Jr and fans' excuse: Money needs a tune-up fight...
  @Red Boy
  If Pacquiao is so one dimensional as you always point out, why would Mayweather need a tune up fight for a one dimensional fighter?
  
  Answer:-For as long as Pacquiao is fighting, PBF will only do tune up matches. That's his way of keeping his image in the limelight. When PAC is available, he's nowhere in sight and his mouth is silent. He can't even say Pacquiao's name unless it's a derogatory remark.
• Question:-If Pacquiao fights Cotto in a rematch would you seriously make excuses for it?
  He already beat Miguel in almost every round, why the heck would he fight him in a rematch? I would be finished with pacquiao. Fighting Clottey, Margarito, Mosley and then Cotto again WTF?
  
  Answer:-Nope
• Question:-Philippine polls suggest Pacquiao is actually doing well as a Congressman, did we underestimated him?
  A lot of people say because Pacquiao has no college education and political experience that he would be incapable. But most people in Sarangani Province have a favorable view of Pacquiao as their Congressman. Many Filipino senators and congressmen have also said they underestimated Pacquiao's political skills. Pacquiao went back to college and also has attended sessions for political trainings and optional conventions for courses in political science and law.
  
  Answer:-I notice that too and to be honest, I was surprised that unlike other traditional politician, he is true to his words or promises. I never expect that and I thought he would change and adopt the dirty political life. Education is a plus in life not just as a public servant but a honest and clean intention is a more valuable trait. Politics is a dirty game where you can find the wiliest double face scumbags in the planet. You can seldom find an honest politician. Most of them are the worst creature that ever sprouted in the face of the Earth but those honest one that we can find were also the best contribution to humanity.
  
  Manny Pacquiao as a politician was underrated. He might not be able to debate on the floor of the Congress of the Philippines but his achievement in such a short time being there is more than enough to prove his intentions, that is to serve. His accomplishment in the province of Sarangani far outdone those previous officials who holds the position for decades. Not only in his district but also to the athletes of the Philippines who are now receiving benefits because of him.
  
  It would be a plus if these noble deeds was supported by education, maybe he can serve more but on the other hand if Manny was a professional, he won't be a boxer and maybe a struggling employee earning merger amount for day to day expenses. Life is a mystery where things happen in a very strange way.
