Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is going to protect his WBO Welterweight Crown against Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12, 2011 inside the luxurious MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. For those who do not know, the normal welterweight weight limit in boxing is 147 lbs. Because the last time Marquez fought at the 147 lbs class - against Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2009 - he did not perform well, Pacquiao agreed to make the cut a little lower for the advantage of Juan Manuel.
Marquez is consistently saying that he won the first two fights that he and Manny fought atop the boxing ring. He even wore a shirt, which has a print "Marquez beat Pacquiao twice", after winning via TKO against Michael Katsidis.
Performed much better in the higher weight classes, Manny Pacquiao achieved the feat of becoming the only boxer to won eight significant titles in as much weight classes. The highest weigh class he has been so far is at 154 lbs against Antonio Margarito in November 2010.
