Lol, like u know me and what I did. I had 30 people at my house in the front yard watching that fight eating burgers i hand made and betting on who won rounds. I remember it was like yesterday. That fight was super close but he was winning until about rd 8 when Oscar got tired and abandon the jab. Better come with something stronger than that. Floyd barely won that and I remember many people who don't even watch boxing regularly and big fans saying they thought Oscar won. Oh, and btw, I thought it was a draw.
Is Ring Magazine Full Of It???

Here is RING's explanation for all you illogical fanboys:
Pacquiao wasn’t fighting a chump. Marquez is the No. 5 fighter in the world pound for pound. And Pacquiao beat him, at least officially.
A great fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because another great fighter has his number. We didn’t think less of Muhammad Ali because he had trouble with Ken Norton three times. The same with Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler in their series.
A fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because he has an off night, if that’s what it was on Saturday. Sergio Martinez didn’t look great against Darren Barker but no one clamored for him to be demoted.
Pacquiao has accomplished more than Mayweather in recent years. The Filipino is 9-0 against big-name opponents since the beginning of 2008; Mayweather is 3-0 in that time.
Mayweather isn’t exactly coming off a sterling performance. He looked good against Victor Ortiz for three-plus rounds but scored a knockout when Ortiz wasn’t looking.
And you can’t say that Mayweather should supplant Pacquiao because he defeated Marquez more easily. That doesn’t take into account styles and strengths. Plus, Pacquiao beat Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya more easily than Mayweather did.Comment

I think so. there whole ranking system needs a overhaul. how is he still #1
p4p when he went life and death and really lost to a guy that mayweather easily schooled and spanked for 12 rounds??? recently alot of their p4p fighters have been getting exposed like martinez, donaire..these people had freaking juan manuel lopez ranked in their p4p at one point when he had never beat anybody and struggled against mtagwa and we all know what happened with him . p4p is supposed to mean dominance and SKILL in all aspects of the game. what say u?
Saying that Pacquiao/Marquez III "went life and death" is a bit exagerated, don't ya think?
