Mayweather’s win over Marquez almost as impressive as Pacquiao’s stoppages of De la Hoya and Hatton
What’s the difference you ask?
Well the more definitive reasoning is that the smaller man (Pacman), just like Mayweather Jr., won practically every second of every round but ended up getting the stoppage to top the cake. When it was Pacquiao-De la Hoya, it was a clean sweep with a no-knockdown 10-8 round in there somewhere as well. For Pacquiao-Hatton, although it was an extremely short fight, the scoring was as absolutely one sided as can be. But in the end, beating your opponent into submission gives the feel of an exclamation mark whereas a decision politely invites a period.
