Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao are not household names in the USA, and their fight hasn’t drawn the kind of attention of other A-level matchups. However, on paper at least, their showdown for featherweight supremacy Saturday night (HBO, 9:45 ET) at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand has all the makings of a classic.
Each has a legitimate claim at being the division’s top dog. Each has knockout power. Both have crowd pleasing styles. Both are unbeaten in their past 13 fights.
