EXPERTS VIEWS DON?T BOTHER PACQUIAO

The views of four experts including possible opponent Paulie Ayala and one-time hot prospect Derrick Gainer as well as TV commentator Al Bernstein and Fox Sport?s latest addition, TV boxing analyst Max Kellerman who all picked WBA/IBF featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez to beat Manny Pacquiao should their planned May 22 title fight push through, doesn?t bother the champion or his handlers.

Prior to his departure for New York last Friday along with business manager Rod Nazario, Pacquiao told Manila Standard ?don?t worry about Marquez. I will take care of him.?

Pacquiao who will receive the prestigious Ring Magazine featherweight championship belt from Editor-in-Chief Nigel Collins who is scheduled to arrive on March 6 for a weeklong stay said ?once the agreement is signed, I will begin training right away. I will train harder than I did for Marco Antonio Barrera? the legendary featherweight who was given a devastating beating by the flamboyant Filipino southpaw last November 15 in San Antonio, Texas.
