When Juan Manuel Marquez arrived in The Philippines wearing a shirt that said, '' I beat Pacquiao twice'' it wasn't very funny in the eyes of Manny and his team. Recently I spoke with famed fight trainer Freddie Roach and he informed this writer that the little prank played by JMM didn't sit well with Manny Pacquiao at all.
Roach explained, '' Manny felt disrespected when JMM showed up in The Philippines wearing that shirt. I think he will teach him a lesson inside of the ring in November.''
Roach also commented on the intense training camp that Pacquiao is having thus far, ''This may be the best Pacquiao I have ever seen. The way he is taking out sparring partners and being so aggressive says something. I don't think he will let up on Marquez like he did with his last 2 opponents. I think he will keep Marquez on the floor this time.''
Pacquiao usually is a very humble guy but with this camp he seems irritated with Marquez and that probably does not bode well for the Mexican brawler. Marquez has shown in the past that he can compete with Pacquiao, but most say that with this fight he is in for a much tougher time.
A normal Pacquiao sends his opponents to the hospital. Ask Tony Margarito about that. A mad Pacquiao could be an even more dangerous monster to deal with.
What was Marquez thinking? Did he think that he could just fly into The Philippines and wear a shirt that disrespected Pacquiao and get away with it? Or is Marquez actually the clever one and by doing so he will take Manny out of his game?
We will certainly get the answers in November.
