Pacman to finally stop Marquez

The third meeting between Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO's) and Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO's) takes centre stage in Vegas this weekend as they meet for the Pacman's WBO welterweight title.

The first contest was a draw and the second Pacman won, but looking at the two fights, for me it's clear Pacquiao is the stronger guy, having put Marquez down in both fights. Pacquaio hasnt stopped his last three opponent and was very disappointing in his last fight with “Sugar” Shane Mosley, but for me styles make fights and this fight will suit Pacquaio down to the ground. What I've heard he looks incredibly strong ahead of this fight and this is a catchweight of 144lbs, so for me Pacquiao's strength will show in what could be another great battle.

It's tough for Marquez going up near enough two weight divisions and the last time he did that, he was pretty much hammered by Floyd Mayweather over 12 rounds. Floyd put him down and although Marquez showed great heart to stay in, it was just a pure dominant performance. In his last fight he showed great ticker again, but Michael Katsidis (beaten by Ricky Burns last week) put him down in the 3^rd with a stunning left and that aspect just remains with Marquez, he is just a little bit too open and at this weight, I dont think he's big enough to deal with the machine that is Manny Pacquiao.

Like I've said Pacquiao hasnt stopped any of his last three, but two of them were big guys who had fought at light middle in Margarito and Mosley, while Joshua Clottey is a really tough guy. This fight he is the stronger and I think he'll get to Marquez late on to complete this trilogy.
