Even though Pacquiao lost by KO, to me - he showed that he still has it. The ferociousness was there, the speed was there, the power was there. He got caught clean and KOd, it happens. Not sure if that punch will ruin him or not, but despite the outcome, I saw a lot of the Pacquiao that the boxing world fell in love with. He dominated Marquez in that (5th?) round, which was one hell of a round. If you take away the ending, Pacquiao looked great.
Just because a fighter gets KOd, doesn't mean they are done for (although it often times does). The reality is that Pacquiao looked really good up until the stoppage. If he would have been dominated from the beginning of the fight, it would be a different case.
Even though I hated to see Pac go down, this was a GREAT win for Marquez and a GREAT fight for boxing. If they set up a 5th fight it will surely be a legendary fight. To all of those talking bad about Pacquiao - you are idiots. Dude came out, fought like a beast, took risks, got KOd by an ATG, and was CLASSY about it. Quit bashing fighters who are great representatives for the sport!!!
