Image: Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4: What it means for them both......by Rusty Nate: I see myself as a fan of the sport and an admirer of every man that has ever dared to lace up gloves and risk their lives for the sake of the people’s entertainment.

Obviously I have fighters that I have preferred watching over the years. Marco Antonio Barrera, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Shane Mosley, Thomas Hearns, Floyd Mayweather and the list goes on and on. When I write about this sport and the fighters in it I tend to try and put my personal thoughts and feelings about my favored fighters to one side and give an objective view or pose a pertinent question that will allow the forum posters to discuss the subject objectively and without unnecessary bias.

Sulaiman said to Yahoo Deportes “It’s a fight without a championship at stake. It’s a fight that’s only interesting for those in the Philippines and Mexico. Nobody else in the world cares. It’s a fight where the sole purpose is to fill a date, and that’s all.”

Pacquiao-Marquez 4: Six weeks to go and little buzz surrounding this fight

Image: Pacquiao-Marquez 4: Six weeks to go and little buzz surrounding this fightBy Chris Williams: With only six weeks to go before the Manny Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KO’s) vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KO’s) fourth fight there’s almost zero interest for this fight from the boxing public compared to the three previous times this match-up has taken place. It’s as if the boxing public has grown bored seeing Bob Arum put them together again over and over and over again without letting other fighters get their chance.

It reminds me of how movies get remade repeatedly until they stop making money. We see Home Alone I, Home Alone II, Rocky I, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4, and Rocky Balboa. Bob Arum has done the same with the Pacquiao-Marquez fight, and I think the boxing public if officially sick of seeing this fight take place.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4: Is Manny capable of knocking anyone out?

Image: Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4: Is Manny capable of knocking anyone out?By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach has been talking long and hard about how his fighter Manny Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KO’s) needs a KO to beat 39-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KO’s) on December 8th in their fourth and hopefully their last fight with each other.

Roach has set it up to be a case where Pacquiao probably won’t be able to get a decision int his fight, because the judges will want to bend over backwards to give Marquez a decision because of the past three fights between them where Marquez appeared to win but was either given losses or a draw.

Image: Marquez: I have to KO Pacquiao because you know what will happen if I don'tBy Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez absolutely feels he’s going to knock Manny Pacquiao out when they fight on December 8th to avoid getting jobbed for the 4th time. Marquez, 39, has zero faith in the judges giving him a decision no matter how badly he schools the Filipino in front of what will likely be a sold out MGM Grand crowd in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marquez told RingTV “There is no way that I can let this fight be a decision, because if I do, everyone knows what will happen. That’s because the judges aren’t doing their jobs.”
