Pacquiao vs Marquez Fight Time: Tale of the Tape, Measurements for Each Fighter

Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez may be entering a lopsided matchup, but they have eerily similar measurements that will have these fighters once again looking at a physical mirror image of themselves.

The only real factor that separates the two fighters on paper is their age. At 32, Pacquiao is six years younger than Marquez. The age discrepancy is also the factor that will prove most crucial of all, as their uncanny physical resemblance doesn't give an advantage to either fighter.

Height:

Pacquiao- 5'6 1/2"

Marquez- 5'7"

The fighters see almost eye to eye. Marquez' 1/2-inch advantage isn't going to do anything for him and height will not be a factor in this fight, as it has been in many fights both fighters have taken part in.

Reach:

Pacquiao- 67"

Marquez- 67"

With the reach of these fighters identical, we truly get to see a completely even matchup. Neither fighter has an advantage from their dimensions and the winner of this fight will be the more skilled boxer, rather than the one who was blessed with a better build.

The fighters proved to be evenly matched in the first two editions of this might and their identical reaches and comparable height makes it easy to see why.

Weight:

Pacquiao is weighed in at 143 pounds on Thursday, according to BoxingScene.com. That makes him even more dangerous than anticipated and it will be interesting to see how much Marquez, who needed to bulk up to take part in this fight, has been able to put on when the fighters weigh in officially.
