LOL at boxing lesson.
Getting dropped 3 times is hardly a boxing lesson. Most sane people scored the first fight for Pacquiao. Pacquiao clearly won the first 2 rounds and only needed 3 of the next ten rounds to get the win. The reason a draw was given was down to incorrect scoring by a judge, it was not justified. JMM is the one who turned down a rematch to fight Chris John in indonesia for peanuts.
In the second fight JMM probably won but it was close but yet again he got dropped which cost him the fight.
I've watched that fight five times. I either have it as a one point win for either fighter, depending on two swing rounds (2nd and I believe the last). And yes, it was a boxing lesson. He got caught in the first round. It happens - Pacquiao was a huge puncher at those weights and Marquez's chin isn't exactly granite. But the fact that he was even in the fight shows that he did admirably. The fact (and it is a fact) that he could have won going into the last round shows that it was a boxing lesson. Marquez outlanded him and hit at a much higher percentage. 158/547 to 148/639, to be precise. CompuBox isn't everything, I understand, but it does count for something.
And he priced himself out of the rematch. He felt he won the fight, didn't think he deserved to get peanuts while Pacuqiao would rake it in. Now I don't think he's right, but it was his feeling.
Why fight at 147 when Lil' Pac can still make 135?
Because he can't. They just need an excuse when he loses to Mayweather or any other also small ww's.
Did Marquez at least make Pacquiao fall into the ropes or something? I mean I keep hearing journalists, analysists and even Hatton saying that Marquez dropped him, yet I've never spotted anything close to a knockdown in either fight so I never got why they keep saying that...Perhaps these "experts" aren't as bright as people say they are.
Round 5 of the first fight. Looping right hand throws Pacquiao from one side of the ring to the other. If he doesn't have his sick balance, he's on the mat.
Round 2 of the second fight. Looping counter left sends Pacquiao to Mars. Check my sig.
What's your point? Marquez gave Pac a boxing lesson in the first fight (although the draw is definitely justified - knockdowns are still scored) and I think he squeaked out the win in the second.

oh now he's 'little' again :lol1:
u remember when mayweather fans used to say mayweather was little for his division? then pacquiao came into the division and they said no one could use that as an excuse.
mayweather fans are a source of great comedy.
Never but IMO he's tied him once and beat him another time.
He actually has won more rounds on the judges cards in two fights than Pac has, the two knockdowns were the difference in the scoring.
ding ding ding
however at 147, pac in 3 rounds
