LAS VEGAS ? Even the best of Juan Manuel Marquez shouldn?t be enough if Manny Pacquiao is a hundred percent ready.
This bold opinion was provided by Top Rank spinner Ricardo Jimenez who said Monday that Pacquiao can be considered the most dangerous fighter in the planet if he?s in top shape.
?If he?s a hundred percent then it?s not ?gonna be a dangerous fight. You?ve seen how dangerous he was during the Erik Morales fights if he?s a hundred percent,? Jimenez said in downtown Los Angeles.
Jimenez, who forms Top Ranks dynamic duo with Lee Samuels, couldn?t find the ways to say how Marquez could pull it off.
?Yes, he (Marquez) can counter-punch but he can?t counter-punch the whole night. He will get tired,? said Ramirez.
?Manuel is more disciplined that his brother Rafael (the deposed WBC super-bantamweight king) because he knows how to stay back. But if he mixes it up (with Pacquiao) he?d lose the exchange.?
Ramirez couldn?t even guarantee that Saturday?s bout will be a great one.
?I don?t really know if it?s going to be a great fight. But it will be a good fight,? he said.
