Why was Marquez-Pacquiao II so close?

[Zarco]

Looks the same to me after his fight with Marquez.

Fans or haters and doubters?

JMM was sharp that night against another ATG. In my opinion he beat Pacquiao, but at this point he won't give Pac problems again.

Depends in the weight at 140, he does up until Manny times him and figures out what he is doing wrong (allowing Marquez to trouble him) at 140+...not at all.

WTF...Marquez seems to have an 8 pack....hahaha funny seeing him then and seeing him against May.

I'd say a bit of both. But anyone that thinks JMM stands a chance against him at 140 or 147 today is delusional.

I invite every one to come out and vote.

I think it was a mix between both,Pac wasnt too comfy at the weight at the time,but still,Marquez was at his perfect weight,and was SHARP,was in great shape and gave Pac two hard fights,but if they where to fight today,at LW,Pac would win by TKO imo

Was it because Pacquiao was weight drained or was it because of Marquez's skills?

Pacquiao was weight drain...

[Zarco]

Pacquiao was weight drain...

if your think that, why did you vote for the other one?

[Slyboots]

Combination of Marquez skills and a lack of skills on Pac's side at the time. Pac has become a much better fighter since then.
