Pacquiao vs. Marquez: Pac-Man Will Not Underestimate Juan Manuel Marquez

Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighters of our generation, but his status will not make him take his fight this Saturday against Juan Manuel Marquez lightly.

If there is one thing that Pac-Man is besides humble, it’s confident and there is nothing that Marquez will throw Manny’s way that he will not be ready for.

With that said, that doesn’t mean Pacquiao will be taking his long-time foe any lighter.

Pacquiao told the Miami Herald about his upcoming fight with JMM:

"

I will never underestimate Marquez. This is a lot different because over the years I have improved a lot. This third fight will answer all of the doubts and all the questions.

"

This is the rubber match in the ongoing battle that has stretched eight years, and Pac-Man is looking to settle the question about whether or not he really won their first two matchups.

There is no question that Pacquiao is a good man, but to have JMM question the outcomes of the previous fights and make people question Manny as a great champion makes this fight personal to the Filipino warrior.

When these two men meet in the ring Saturday night, all the questions will be answered about this trilogy and the world will find out if Manny is ready to become the greatest of all time.

After JMM comes Floyd Mayweather, and after Mayweather is career satisfaction.
