Tale of the Tape for Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez
Match-Up Looks Dead Even on Paper
Tale of the Tape measurements are always great in looking to decipher either the perceived strengths of a fighter or their potential weaknesses.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez II is a rematch that's been discussed on a disgustingly, consistent basis by our 380 pound resident bossman, Michael Marley.
While this weekend should provide some serious fireworks in the lightweight match-up that is Nate Campbell-Juan Diaz in addition to the untelevised bout between Jose Luis Castillo and Timothy Bradley, here's a first look at the "Tale of the Tape" for Marquez-Pacquiao II.
Both men seem to have advantages in differing regions but overall they are an ideal match size-wise.
