PACQUIAO SAYS HE WON?T GIVE MARQUEZ A CHANCE

Manny Pacquiao, oozing with confidence, said he will ?not give him (Juan Manuel Marquez) a chance? when they clash on May 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada in a fight billed as ?Pacman vs Dinamita? in his plan to burn through Mexico to get to what promoter Murad Muhammad has described as ?the last man standing,? junior lightweight champion Erik Morales.

In an overseas telephone conversation with Viva Sports which will telecast a special preview of the fight that is expected to be a war for the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation titles currently held by Marquez, Pacquiao said ?I will make sure this fight is going to be easier than the Barrera fight? in which the Filipino southpaw scored a devastating eleventh round TKO victory last November 15 in San Antonio, Texas.

Pacquiao said ?the key to winning is training? as he disclosed he?s been going through a punishing grind on the road and in the Wild Card Gym of 2003 ?Trainer of the Year? Freddie Roach on a daily basis.
