Is Pacquiao overdoing it?
October 19th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) is training incessantly for his showdown with WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO’s). “Pacman” and “El Dinamita” will face each other for the third fight of their Trilogy on November 12 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Marquez has succeeded in getting under Pacquiao’s skin big time with his constant assertions that he was robbed of victory in their first two fights. The first Pacquiao – Marquez fight in 2004 was called a draw even though Marquez was floored three times in the first round. Manny won a controversial decision in the second fight. Many boxing fans feel that Marquez won the second fight. Marquez believes he was deprived of victory in bought matches.
What was particularly galling to Manny was Marquez showing up in his homeland, the Philippines with Tee shirts complaining that he was robbed. Pacquiao took that as an insult. He has confided to close friends that he does not want to leave the outcome of the fight in the hands of officials.
Pacquiao, however has to guard against over-training which was apparently the reason he had leg cramps during his bout with Shane Mosley last May. The danger of Manny over-training in his upcoming match with Marquez exists. His wish to demolish Juan once and for all may in the long run be his undoing. Marquez is a smart, cagey fighter. Part of his strategy may be to get inside Pacquiao’s head and get him to “leave the fight in the gym” so to speak.
Manny would not be the first fighter to peak too soon. To work so fervently in training that come fight night there is nothing left. Trainer Freddie Roach is only too well aware of Manny’s tendency to overdo things in training. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum recently warned Freddie to slow Pacquiao down. Easer said than done.
Pacquiao is addicted to training and just like any other addiction it could be his undoing. Over-training may in the long run achieve what no other fighter has been capable of doing, that is to defeat Manny Pacquiao.

If JMM doesnt KO pac, judges will giv it to pac … coz hes the face of boxing … so that means zero chance
Why can’t Floyd just take the fight under NSAC like all boxers do? Who is Floyd? Again, only fools believe Floyds RBT bandwagon and your one of them, THE PUSS.
He’s been busy fighting bigger men. What took Marquez so long to move up in WW?
WHAT TOOK MANNY SO LONG TO GIVE A REMATCH TO JMM
no problem aries. no need to apologize. bear in mind that there are lot of impostors here copying my nick because they’re running out of argument.
Too much Xylocain shrinks Floyds balls
too much ped using will hurt his ulcer again.
My apology to kamote my comment is not for u, its for prettyboy2′s bad words to filipinos, he is like his boxing idol a wildmouthed badbreath human being…hope he is human….
Mr. kamote: i’m really sad reading ur comment, saying bad words and unfair comment to us and to our star boxer manny pacquiao, accusing him of using PED even though the result released from a certain Med.Inst.(US) is negative, if u dont like manny, just be happy praising ur choosen boxer….and r u really sure Manny is using PED?, hav u ever tried to check his blood?, do some doctors told u manny is positive of it……or just jumping to a mere conclusion because of a power..strength…stamina…u hv seen at Pacquiao or ur just relying to those who hv negative impression to our boxing legend…i want u to know that paquiao is a very kind and helpful person..he is a public servant….he is not like other boxing champ that is so proud to themselves forecasting that they are the best and the greatest but as far as behavior is concerned…unethical..immoral person…widemouthed…very unprofessional…sorry friend….pls let just the bout and whoever win…it’s Gods will..ok sir?
Pacquiao will destroy Marquez!
Don’t underestimate MARQUEZ cause what we
think don’t mean much, Marquez thinks he
won the first two fights, THAT’S A PROBLEM
because now the pressure is on pac-man not
Marquez an I believe this is where Marquez is
going to use that LAST GREAT PERFORMANCE
THAT’S IN EVERY GOOD FIGHTER, an win this
fight, pac-man won’t be able to stop him an
Judges will score the fight for Marquez
“Is Pacquiao overdoing it?”
RELAX guys pacquiao is just doing his warm up.LOL!
Xman: STFU, you know nothing about boxing.
I fill sorry for Marquez he is really going to get destroyed. I cant see Pacquiao losing this fight. I see Marquez getting stopped in 3 – 5 rounds. The weight is going to be as major advantage for Pacquiao. If the fight was made at 140 then I would give Marquez more of a chance to survive an extra 6 rounds. Juan is a great a great fighter. But Manny is levels above him now. I hope Pacquiao shows him mercy
Anonymous, your boy needs to stop fighting senior citizens…once upon a time this fight was major but not anymore Marquez is too old …look at 144 lbs you need to be quick and energetic to be a good fighter. Marquez is 38 two years from 40 just like Mostly and DLH.
@ Theman
Do you know what you are on about?? Cos you lost me.
Pacquaio has fought and defeated a prime Marquez ( its in the record books ) he offered him a re-match soon after but Marquez was not happy about the money offered then. And now he has got a fight with Pacquiao at a catch weight ( in favour of Marquez ) unlike Floyd who made him come up full WW.
Before anyone comments on the catch weight ( in favour of JMM ) remember you all say Pac vs Cotto was not fair, yet that was only a 2lb catch weight. So my advice do not bring that up you will only look stupid.
@theman
icebuko idiot.
**************************************************************
Typical flydiots! When FRAUD is SCARED his discple floydrats is barking everywhere.LOL! Easy girl go change your diaperr.
ice buko is completely idiot or maybe you might not have been read every line.
time will tell for pacquao. simple and meaningful.
@kamoteisstupid
Calm down & please don’t hold FRAUD tail more ofen.LOL! You’re so HOT! Pacman fought the most experience fighter plus it would give interest to the viewer. Look what FRAUD did fighting amature oriz low PPV and the SHOT combination added a spice on his next PPV buys.LOL! Understand idiot?
@theman aka “TheWOMAN”
Please don’t act such a pompom cheer leader. The time is NOW. Both fighter will face each other on Nov 12 and that means they are confident that they can defeat each other. Soo just relax and hold tight if pacquiao win which is he certainly will maybe you can slap your face for the second time..LOL
stupid kamote bum.
marquez is willing to go up weight just to take the fight with pacquiao but your god or maybe the living god for the pilipino people. dont like to take risk to face marquez.
fact is.
marquez take the risk at welterweight to fight mayweather.
pacquiao has no guts to face his worse nightmare.
time will tell for pacquiao. nad the time is now.
are you talking to yourself? an idiot word suit you.
we all knew pacquiao has no guts to face a fighter coming with impressive win.
what not taking paper lightweight or paper jr.welterweight like they do at margarito fight.
ex:
at mosley fight. mosley is too good for pacquiao “roach” we will fight him if mosley show any sign of weaknesses. see!!
Top Rank would loose a whole lot of money if Pac-man came out positive for roids. Boxing won’t be the same! There is no way they can allow that. So they stir up all this distraction by putting Pac with washed up fighters for fake boxing fans hoping that the real boxing fans would forget all about the steroid fact but we can’t seem to get it out of our heads because only a real boxing fan knows that a true warrior would prove to everyone he’s not on steroids and take any test that is asked of him. Those that can’t seem to comprehend that are those that enjoy WWF wrestling. “Fake!”
@ foreal
3 defeats means battle tested..after those defeats,manny came in like a tornado of dynamites..destroying everyone….floyd? nah, he is nobody…that guy has no heart…you say floyd is the only star..you are right about that..star means illusion..floyd is an illusion..manny is the real thing..not a star but a real king of the ring..not an illusion like floydy…..
Floyd will once again witness Pacquiao’s greatness on Nov. 12. See you back here Floydiots

pacquiao knews marquez is a different animal among the rest his last 4 fight. but it will be more interesting if pacquiao fought marquez 2 years before now at lightweight or jr. welterweight. but pacquiao has no guts to face marquez when marquez was a big treat for pacxquaio.
pacquiao said that marquez should pay for what he done or what he said. why not last last year? why not now? “???”
time will tell the answer and it is the time for pacquiao to face marquez.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Stupid idiot! Pacquiao did’nt stop at lightweight that’s why he’s the P4P king. The real question is, why didnt Marquez move up to welterweight, Why only now? slap your face for me please LOL
I almost feel sorry for Marquez. He’s totally done for sure. It’ll be like shock and awe.

@playmaker
“Does that mean he’ll never fight any fighter who trains outside the USA?”
Great point!
Are all Americans dumb or it’s just the boxing fans that take all the glory? Floyd first said he wanted tests up till two weeks. Manny agreed. He then said random up till the fight. Manny agreed. Now he says they should be only by the USADA not by WADA, even though WADA is good enough for the olympics. What Floyd is essentially saying right now is that even the olympics have got it wrong. Only he’s right. Does that mean he’ll never fight any fighter who trains outside the USA? Doesn’t that make him the best in the USA, but not the world? Well is there even a world outside America? I guess for the dumb, there really isn’t.
i want to see manny knock this mexican out. manny let margarito off easy and didnt knock him out when he could have. he better not do the same to juan if he has the chance

Nope, he’s not overdoing it. He started training early in order to slip in an extra juicing cycle. He’s just working harder than he normally does to maximize the benefits. Nothing to fear Pac Stans. Your hero will look more ferocious than ever come fight night. He will not let you down. His juice team is going to make sure of that.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Yup, you’re maybe right. The question though is, would he come out positive? I don’t think so..lol. Keep thinking and screw up your mind.
hate to say it but i cant see marquez walking out with the victory. he is cagey, a seasoned pro but been in to many wars. i can see his experience taking him to the final bell but a clear decision to pac man. love marquez but i just dont see a victory in his favour.

Manny Pacquiao carries the trend of winning till he retires. He’s going to follow that determination and that remains to be seen.
kamote you are the ultimate pactard.
@polo
“tests done in this sport are outdated”
cry it over to Nevada State Atlethic Commission, not on boxing blogs Or better yet help and support your idol for deposition.
Erik Morales beat Pacman, u never seen that fight dude??
lay off the crack mate.

doesn’t matter, Pacman will demolish JMM, then everyone can stop moaning about the previous fights
————–
LOL…. Amen to that.
pacman has been fighting in nevada for almost ten years and that is the strictest state for drug testing because they know how much of the sport is in vegas, and yet pacquiao hasn’t been caught for PED’S but he’s on them right? you people that thing pacquiao is on roids are truly ignorant
Cramps or no cramps, this is still a better fight to watch than that of floyd and ortiz.
The best thing about Pac haters is, no matter how hard they downplay Pacquiao fact still remains that he’s the face of boxing and not their idol. It entertains me how much it pains them… I love it! LOL
Us Manny haters are glee with envy because we wish we could make millions a year being a fraud! I wish I could beat up senior citizens and make that kind of money. Why do you put him on a pedestal? The man cheats on his wife and uses peds! Every one knows it! He is a politician and you think he always tells the truth!
Hey jobless idiots part of pacquiao’s earnings pay for your welfare and healthcare. Be a little shameful, you haters
Pacquiao haters are pathetic. All they can do is salivate in envy because they hate him so much but he’s still being hailed as p4p king, earning millions, gaining more and more fans, helping more and more poor people. What do u have to make u think u can make such comments against the man. Pathetic.
@The Bible of Boxing, Sugarfree Muzzley LOL!
Pacquiao always trains hard, nothing new.
If I can remember correctly, he did the same versus Sugarfree Muzzley and it affected him badly with cramps because he was too overtrained. If he makes the same mistake and loses to JMM he has no excuses.
Maybe JMM is really his nemesis and he has a problem with that style. If he does, then for sure he will also have a major problem if/when he finally meets the Diva.
HE KNWS HE BETTER TRAIN HARD! Lil ugly flip midget hasnt faced a real challenge since 2008 wen dey last fought. n once again he will get exposed. if he wants a knk out he better keep wantin cuz dinamita dnt stay dwn for nobody ask
So I guess Chris John 43-0, Calzaghe 46-0 are star and not Muhammad Ali 46-5. FLoydiot! “0″ means zero fanbase
Umm, Pac-man was already defeated.
He’s also got another addiction; PEDS!
It’s not ever gonna matter what he does from here on end.
The steroids issue will always be a huge question mark on Pac-man’s head! Even if Floyd asked him to get tested because he was scared, he did indeed still and all said “NO” the first time!
‘Over-training may in the long run achieve what no other fighter has been capable of doing, that is to defeat Manny Pacquiao’
———————————————————–
This is really crazy. What kind of writing is this? Packman has three deafeats (Official) and two close calls. The only STAR without a defeat is one Floyd Mayweather jnr.
We’ll see when he does or doesn’t get cramps….
setting up an excuse if pacquiao were to lose haha
doesn’t matter, Pacman will demolish JMM, then everyone can stop moaning about the previous fights
