Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3: This Fight Is Marquez's Last Shot at Glory

Juan Manuel Marquez has one last shot to cement his legacy in boxing lore. As of now, Marquez will be remembered as a versatile fighter who was able to excel in a number of weight classes.

Taking down Manny Pacquiao would be the perfect way for Marquez to go out. He would finally have his shining moment and, after two epic battles in the ring, he would finally taste victory against Pacquiao.

Pacquiao is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Marquez is well past his prime, a heavy underdog and a worse version of the fighter he was when he stepped into the ring against Pacquiao in the first two editions of this fight.

What a perfect scenario to create a storybook ending to his career.

He's got every opportunity to do something special. Pacquiao is expected to win this fight handedly, which in itself creates a chance for Marquez to have the ultimate closing to his legacy.

Win this fight, and Marquez isn't lost in the history of boxing. He will forever be remembered as the guy who took down Pacquiao.

Everyone wants to talk about a theoretical super-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao, which makes this fight a trap fight of sorts.

Marquez has been one of the few fighters who was able to challenge Pacquiao in the ring, and the fact that he is being written off by so many may even have Pacquiao buying into the hype.

Win this fight, and Marquez's legacy becomes exponentially greater than if he chocks up another loss to Pacquiao on his way out.
