untitledIt seems like everyone who is anyone is chiming in on a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Juan Manuel Marquez has faced both fighters. He lost a decision to Floyd Mayweather and had an epic 4 fights with Pacquiao where he won one by KO, lost two by decision, and one draw in all very close fights.

As a fan Marquez says the fight has to happen.

“As a fan, the fight has to happen,” Marquez told EspnDeportes. “I think it happens and I think all the little nonsense that has stopped the fight from happening needs to be pushed aside. There’s already been too much talking and nonsense over the years. But the fight has to happen to be clear who is the better of the two.”

But there is always the possibility that again the negotations fall through and Marquez says,” If that happens then it’s bad for the sport of boxing and everyone involved but its important for everyone involved to put hands in to see who is better.”

Marquez feels if the fight happens, he would favor Mayweather.

“For me Mayweather is going to win. He’s not a knockout artist in the ring but his defense and counterpunching ability are second to none. It’d be a great fight but I take Mayweather on points. “
