AS the old adage goes, forewarned is forearmed.
If it’s too good to be true, then Manny Pacquiao should take heed this early the advice of Ring Magazine editor-in-chief Nigel Collins that at this stage, the uncrowned Filipino featherweight king should already be in fighting shape for his HBO ring date either on May 8 or 22, likely against IBF and WBA 126 lbs. titlist Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez of Mexico.
Collins urged Pacquiao to start training early enough on belief that once a showdown with Marquez will be sealed, the General Santos City-native destroyer would surely brace for what is by far the most dangerous fight in his nine-year pro career.
“Most people in boxing see Marquez as the most dangerous possible opponent for Pacquiao,” said Collins.
