There's been a distinct lack of Tyson threads.

I've noticed more buzz for this one than last time. Especially online I see more news articles about the fight where as before there wasn't much at all till literally an hour before the fight.

IMO and I'm surely to get bashed for this, but Pacquiao has turned into a robot fighter. IDK if it's his or Roaches fault, but that's how I see it.
There is no more dynamic there that made him great. No determination or grit. Just a set robotic plan to win.
I can tell you I'm not all the interested in this fight, nor was I in the last one. I thought the last one was relatively boring, besides the fact I felt Marquez won by 2-3 rds which was surprising. I will watch this on stream, but to me it's no more interesting then a regular showtime or HBO card. I just hope someone wins decisively, preferably by ko.

Interesting opinion.
I thought he looked slow and odd against MArquez in the last fight but didn't give it much thought until he looked pretty much the same against Bradley.
It could just be that hes a offensive minded fighter who hasn't carried his KO power up in weight though, I suppose.

Marquez wins if he throws more punches than in Pac/Marquez III. He can't sit back and wait, and especially can't take the last few rounds off when considering how people go crazy over Pac's combos.
I've never seen so much excitement and awe over punches that either glance or miss completely. Not discrediting Pac, just saying the fans overwhelming bias for him shows everytime he throws a combo.
