Does Pacquiao need a knockout Vs. JMM for a win?

Honestly? I’m not losing sleep in anticipation for yet another Pacquiao Vs. Marquez fight. That said, the first 3 times these two cats mixed it up, each fight was a damn good one. There’s no reason to believe that the 4th fight won’t be a barn burner either.

Many people say that Marquez should have won a few of the fights, but at the end of the day, it was Pacquiao who had prevailed. There has been a few very controversial decisions that went in Pacquiao favor. Does this prevent a problem for Pacquiao coming into the 4th fight? I believe it does.

If this next fight between these two warriors goes to the cards again, I fear that the judges will feel compelled to throw Marquez a bone, and give him the nod this time. I would not be a bit surprised if the judges give Marquez the benefit of the doubt and will award him with a victory. A close fight in my opinion means a win for Marquez.
