Pacquiao, Marquez at it again

THERE'S nothing Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez don't know about each other. After 36 rounds in the ring there's not much fight fans don't know about the two, either.

So what's the intrigue of fight No. 4? Maybe there's a good chance you'll never see the two ring generals battle each other again. "I think this is the last fight with him," Pacquiao said. "Last time," agreed trainer Freddie Roach. "We're going to knock him out. End of story."

That might prove difficult because it didn't happen in the first three fights and the general perception is that Pacquiao is beginning to slip, if just a bit.

"The fourth fight could be the same as the last three, but Manny's hungrier now," Roach said. "I don't think Marquez has seen the best Manny yet."

"Everybody knows what happened the last few fights," Marquez said. "I want to be more aggressive this time, but with intelligence, because Manny is a very dangerous fighter."
