    This post makes me think of the saying `if you can´t beat them, join them`:lol:

    It is sad to see that you have given up hope that a Mexican beats him. You always picked against Pacman. Perhaps picking Pacman leads to Pacman losing.

    i'm tempted to pick JMM by decision, but something tells me Pacquiao will pull out a SD. It's tough to gauge JMM because he's so damn good that a lot of times, the apparent difficulty he has with opponents like Rocky Juarez, or Jandaeng is more a result of his insistence on being exciting and offensive. But in a fight of this magnitude, with so much on the line, and against such a formidable opponent, we'll no doubt see the smooth as butter version of JMM. And this version, it's easy to imagine, can out-box Pacquiao over 12 rounds (we saw him do it and for what it's worth i don't think anyone would dispute the point that he would've won had it not been for the knock-downs in the first round). I realize it's a bit like saying shit wouldn't stink if it weren't shit, but you do have to concede that the first knock-down at least was due in part to JMM's recklessness and lack of respect for Pacquiao's power. And the next two were certainly a case of his not fully recovering from the previous one. So suppose he gives Pacquiao that respect from the first second of round 1? Doesn't it seem likely then that he wins a fairly comfortable decision?

    The question is how much has Pacquiao improved. I think he has improved enough, and JMM has aged enough, to where he can win rounds and though he willprobably not stop JMM, I think he can win a decision.

    Well if Pacman has improved and JMM has aged, there is a significant chance that Pacman knocks him out. Pacman showed he can severly hurt JMM in the first fight.

    JMM via schooling again!:warning:

    I wonder what Pacquiao's excuse will be this time. Distractions? Maybe he'll make plans to become a doctor this time before the fight. :dunno:

    Marquez by ud. This time he doesn't get knocked down 3 times in round 1 and he makes Pac look bad.

    Not that Puerto Ricans CAN'T root for Mexicans, but what makes you think Hex-One would rally behind every Mexican that fights Pacquiao?

    Too early to say. I want to see where Pacquiao's head is at leading up to the fight before I can make a pick. IMO, Marquez handles the Pacquiao that showed up for the MAB rematch.

    Pacquiao will win AGAIN.

    the marquez bandwagon is hilarious.

    Has anyone seen the Freddie Norwood, or Chris John fights?

    For the record I thought Pacquiao won the first fight clearly.
