ESPN Poll: Pacquiao-Marquez rematch is front-runner

By Salven L. Lagumbay
The somewhat cloudy prospect of the February 26 showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez yesterday took a positive turn following a credible on-line poll conducted by ESPN showed that the match-up is actually considered by fans across the globe as the most-anticipated bout in the early part of 2005.In the poll, ESPN posed the question, "Which fight in early 2005 are you most interested in seeing?" the fans were asked to choose among three Ring Magazine champions and one hugely-popular fighter against respective foes, and the Pacquiao-Marquez rematch came on top of the choice.
Pacquiao-Marquez 2 edged out other big match-ups, garnering 42 percent of the 6,513 votes cast worldwide as of 3PM yesterday.
