Pacquiao vs Marquez: 3 Things That Will Be Different in Third Bout

Tim KeeneyNov 10, 2011

The first two fights between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez were extremely similar and extremely close. The third fight of the trilogy on Saturday won't be. 

Neither of these fighters are going to want the judges to decide this one, and that's where the differences will start.

Here's a quick look at three things that will be different during this bout.

Manny Pacquiao Will Win by Knockout

If he doesn't knock out Marquez, Pacquiao will go down in history as never being able to truly defeat Marquez. And if that happens, Pac-Man's legacy as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world will be tarnished. 

In the first fight, one judge deemed Pacquiao the winner, one picked Marquez and the other determined it was a tie. The fighters drew.

In the second fight, two judges picked Pacquiao while one picked Marquez. Pac-Man barely won. 

Both fighters will come out much more aggressively and the stronger Pacquiao will win the knockout.

Both Fighters Will be More Aggressive

That leads to the next point. Neither fighter can afford to lose this fight and, as a result, will leave nothing to chance. 

Juan Manuel Marquez has already lost to Floyd Mayweather and seems to have trouble during the big fights in his career. If he loses to Pac-Man, it will be confirmed that he is no longer among the elite boxers and he will officially be on the down-slope of his career. 

Pacquiao, on the other hand, has his legacy on the line. He needs to win this fight if he wants to continue to be recognized as No. 1.

He can't lose. He can't draw. He can't even win by decision. He needs to win by knockout and, as a result, will come out absolutely firing.

A Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Fight Will be Announced Shortly After

Yeah, I said it. 

Pacquiao and Mayweather will both realize just how much money they can make from this fight. 

Pac-Man will send a message to Mayweather with this fight and "Money" will give in. Pacquiao will agree to whatever drug test he needs to take. It's going to happen.

I swear.
