    Pac would lose 10 times out of 10 against Floyd 116-112. But pac would win multiple times if he fought Marquez 10 times

    Floyd landed his fewest connect rate against pacquiao. I just didn't see Floyd dominate him or anything. We can't argue about fantasy in 10 out of 10 fights... I base it solely on what happened. Floyd dominated defensively against Pacquiao, but offensively it was "Meh". It was both Floyd and pacquiao's worst fight in the offensive end.

        He beat both half to death that’s why there wasn’t a rematch.

          Easily JMM
          Down 3x in the 1st rd in their 1st fight and Pac had to eke out a close UD ?!?!?
          The only no question W was the 4th fight where JMM sent Pac to his maker for a couple of minutes.

            I’d say almost definitely Margarito. Even Pacquiao said that was an extremely gruelling fight. Margarito was getting drilled all night but wouldn’t stop coming forward and he had Pacquiao badly hurt to the body later in the fight. Didn’t Pac say that he had a broken rib or something to that effect. Pacquiao said he would never fight that high in weight again after because that was just such a hard fight.

              That is one of the most insane claims I’ve ever heard. Why would he throw it at all? Let alone lay face first on the ground pretending to be knocked out for so many minutes? If I were Marquez and someone made that claim I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or just be insulted. Like seriously, give the man some credit.

                Horn did not deserve that decision in the slightest. Just because one fighter is more aggressive doesn’t mean they’re actually effective.

                    While Margarito isn't an easy guy to KO, he was a dead man walking

                    After
                    008804b7194c5111949cf11a1230c282_xl.jpg
                    Pacquiao defeated Margarito via unanimous decision (120–108, 118–110, 119–109).​
                    Fighting a shot punching bag* is not so hard.

                    Pac was out partying the following Tuesday.

                      How do you guys feel that the announcers did it? Was the broadcast team right to condescend horn and magnify Pacquiao? Or were they being sore nut huggers?
