    Pac knowing how hard was to fight Marquez fought him two more times without needing to. It would been only right if Marquez would had fought him a 5th time but he didn't want to. All four fights were good fights and the fifth one would had sold just as good or better. I like and respect Marquez but at times he can be a biatch. Almost every lost he cries that he got robbed, wouldn't fight Morales and wouldn't give Pac his 5th fight.

      Marquez wanted to go down in history for KO of Pac & didn't want to risk getting KOd by giving Pac a rematch. Overall Pac did more in boxing and is a notch above Marquez--both great fighters but Pac did much more while being a senator, congressman,etc. Eight weight classes--fought the best for 2 decades--explosive fighter! Yes Marquez is one of the greats too especially for giving Pac his hardest fights.

        Four times is enough especially when you believe you were robbed a few times. I definitely thought JMM won one of those controversial fights. It seemed pretty clear to me at the time. He owed Pac nothing.

          I thought Marquez won the third fight. They thought dragging Marquez up in weight would work for their advantage and didn't. Still he didn't have to fight him being the superstar and fought him twice more. Marquez went to fight Bradley for less money and got a clear loss.

              Marquez is the type to keep losing a game and begging his opponent for one more try then leaves immediately after he wins because he likes the feeling.

                Marquez wanted to keep that feel good feeling in his belly with that KO win. And when Marquez lost to Bradley and wanted a rematch, I bet Bradley wanted to keep that feel good feeling in his belly too., lol.

                  Marquez was being handily beat in that fourth fight until set a trap. Pacquaio took the bait, stepped in and was cold ****ed. I feel Marquis knew that trap would not work again and wanted to end his encounters with Pacquaio on a winning note.

                    I don't think it was a luck punch. Marquis set a trap and Pacquaio took the bait. It was a mental mistake that Pacquaio would not have repeated in a fifth fight.

                      But jmm will be first to admit he's not in pac s class
                      Um, maybe ask him. Pretty certain he says otherwise.
