Pacquiao doesn't get enough credit for Marquez fights

[Canelo Phresh]

Yes I did. The third fight seems to be the one everyone is complaining about yet it has the least margin of even being considered a "robbery". They say Marquez is a good counter puncher with a good defense, but I only see the counter puncher part. He defends punches with his head and steps on Pac's feet to throw him off balance. Again, check compubox, Pac beat JMM 3 times.

in all of theyre fights both have stepped on each others feet. it happens when orthodox and southpaw fighters fight. he out boxed pac plain and simple in 3 and 2. ppls claim about 2 was 1 kd but knockdowns only win 1 round not the entire fight. marquez won 3 with no knockdown.

So essentially this is what I'm getting out of this thread... Pac should get credit because JMM accidentally stepped on his feet.

He was a huge favorite but Margarito was a huge favorite against Mosley too and Pavlik vs Hopkins, most of the time the odds are ****. I thought he'd win the most recent one but I knew it would be close again, my friend bought the hype for example and thought it was dangerous fight and shouldn't be allowed (for Marquez's safety).

In the most recent fight Marquez weighed 150 fight night and Pacquiao 148, they are roughly the same size.

I think when his fans go overboard to justify his poor performance, that makes people be more critical as well. No real reason IMO for the 3rd fight other than manny domination. He failed to do that.

I give Pac credit for rematching JMM the first time. But none for the third fight.

Funny how people will use a quote from roach like its all true, then they will talk about how much **** he talks all the time, yet when they hear what they want to hear...its all good

Also, wtf? Age and decline?

The only person that beat marquez in how many years convincingly is mayweather.....your acting like pac didnt beat him in his 'prime'

yup pac fought marquez in his prime right after he demolished barrera...pac could have easily taken on lesser opponents before marquez but he didn't..

Well outside Floyd it was the best option imo.

Mosley fight was a waste of time though no doubt.

[Pacquiao'd]

so you are saying that Pac should get credit for getting beat?

[The Big Dunn]

Well outside Floyd it was the best option imo.

Mosley fight was a waste of time though no doubt.

I think Manny won a close fight the 3rd time they fought. But that fight was done so manny could murk JMM worse than floyd did at a similiar weight. Manny failed and in doing so, made many people who were on the fence feel he had no chance against floyd.

[Roman Moreno]

So, you're saying Pac should be credit for waiting for JMM to age to then rematch him, not one... but two times?! With the third fight he even went to great lengths bringing him up to a weight he thought JMM couldn't compete in considering his last fight there he got blown out in.

Yeah I give Pac great credit.

Sure the 2nd time, but not the first time. Once again you show why you're such a terrible poster.

[MurkaMan]

Pacquiao won all 3 fights. He won the 3rd fight 8 rounds to 4. People only wish Marquez won because he was the underdog.

Pac got outboxed every single round in that third fight..That was a mismatch with Pac catching Marquez with some wild shots every once in a while
