Everyone in Boxing has opinions. Some opinions are worth reading more than others. One such person who's opinion is cherished by the best of hardcore fans is Teddy Atlas.
In a recent interview (see link provided below), Atlas teams up with Doghouse Boxing's very own to talk about many topics. During the interview, Tyler hit on the subject of Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III.
On behalf of Doghouse Boxing, Tyler asked Atlas to give us his thought on November's upcoming bout, Pacquiao vs. Marquez.
Atlas answered the question with a question, stating: "How old is Marquez?" Atlas then went on to add: "I believe that he will be 38 when and if that fight takes place. Pacquiao is about six years younger and in his prime. Also, Marquez has bulked up in weight only once that I remember and that was in the Mayweather fight where he lost every round. Marquez is the smaller fighter. Also I have mentioned before on ESPN telecasts that I also judge a fighter not so much by age but the number of punches he has taken. Pacquiao has taken very little punishment in the last few years. The only strong area I see for Marquez is that his confidence level would be high because of the fact that he has fought him twice before...this would help his comfort level in that fight. But when it is all said and done, Pacquiao will be the heavy favorite to win the fight."
