MANILA, Philippines – Juan Manuel Marquez insists he holds the key to solve the Manny Pacquiao puzzle.
After two close fights – a highly disputable draw in 2004 and a razor-close split decision favoring Pacquiao in 2008 – Marquez is confident of victory this time, when he tangles with his Filipino rival for the third time this November.
The Mexican, though, is wary of the challenge ahead, vowing to be at his best against Pacquiao – who has gone undefeated in 14 fights for almost six years.
"This is a hard fight, but I know how to defeat him (Pacquiao),” he said in a report by boxingscene.com the other day.
“We need to get well-prepared mentally and we need to be in better physical condition than we've ever been in the past so we can beat Pacquiao," he added.
Interestingly, Marquez is not the only one who thinks he got Pacquiao's number.
“I think Marquez might have our number. He can do well with certain styles and he seems to do well with our style. I think we’re bigger and better now. But that’s my good solution, that we’re bigger and better now,” Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's chief trainer, said earlier.
