Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 12B3T prediction Welterweight Fight (in Las Vegas) 11/13
Pacquiao is the best pure offensive fighter in the game, so as good as Marquez is in that regard, this category is no contest. Watching their previous two fights against one another and what Pacquiao has done since, his growth has been remarkable. In 2004, he was a totally one-dimensional southpaw, a 1-2 artist whose gifts of speed and power were all it took up to that point. By 2008, he was blossoming into a two-fisted fighter and even could counter some, but the biggest improvement was in his footwork, in how much better his balance was, in his refusal to rely on clumsy, quick lunges. He's better in every single way on that front -- he gets out of position far less, he's takent to stepping in and out or to the side, and he has completed his evolution into a two-fisted boxer.
