Pacquiao vs Marquez: Pacquiao Will Finally Shut Marquez Up

If there's any fighter that deserves the right to talk trash to Manny Pacquiao, it's Juan Manuel Marquez. While he hasn't knocked off Pacquiao in the duo's first two fights, he's fought Pac-Man in 24 rounds that couldn't possibly be any closer.

Pacquiao might be 1-0-1 in the two fights, but as far as I'm concerned, neither boxer has proven to be better than the other.

With that being said, don't expect another split decision in the third bout of this trilogy. Both boxers have too much determination and too much to prove for that to happen. 

Manny Pacquiao is working on his status of "Greatest Boxer of All Time." If he fails to knock down a 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez for a third straight time, do you really think he has a chance of earning that esteemed title?

No chance.

Now that's some motivation. With "Greatest Ever" on the line for Pac-Man, he's going to come out with a flurry that no man could counter.

He can't afford not to.

On the other side of the ring, Marquez has plenty to prove as well. No one thinks Dinamita has any chance in this fight. He's 38. He hasn't beaten Pacquiao in the first two fights, so what will be different this time? He's since lost to Floyd Mayweather.

There's no doubt Marquez will be listening to all the criticisms and using them as a way to motivate. Still, though, this is Manny Pacquiao. Both fighters are going to be extremely motivated for this bout, but Pac-Man strictly has too much on the line to risk letting the judges decide this one.

Pacquiao will finally shut Marquez up with a mid-round knockout.
