MANILA, Philippines – Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez has not changed much as a boxer, and this will hurt him when he faces Manny Pacquiao, said Pacquiao's business adviser Michael Koncz.
"Marquez is the same fighter that he's always been," he said in Pacquiao's official website, MP8.ph.
Koncz said that although Marquez is a splendid ring tactician, the Mexican has not shown improvements as a fighter.
Pacquiao, on the other hand, has gotten better with each bout.
"Manny is a totally different fighter than he fought before… he's improved dramatically and all that," said Koncz.
Pacquiao vs Marquez have fought twice.
Their first bout in 2004 saw Pacquiao settling for a draw, despite knocking Marquez down thrice in the first round.
Pacquiao won a 2008 rematch via a split decision.
The third fight will take place on November 12.
Fight Hype.com cited sources that the rematch is officially a go as Pacquiao has finally signed the fight contract.
"Evidently, that issue was also sorted out and after Pacquiao put pen to paper yesterday (August 4), Michael Koncz promptly boarded an airplane to return to the United States with contract in hand," said the report.

if that's the case, Marquez will have a hard time beating or knocking Pacquiao down..Pacquiao really fights well in the boxing ring.. he is able to adjust to the opponent's style..and for the third time around, he will fight against Marquez and if there is no change in Marquez style, then, it will be a lot easier for Pacquiao to beat him again... we really have to see this exciting fight to witness the way they fight each other...
