This sucks. I feel like that bs decision for Bradley ruins what this victory actually means. Although Pacquiao-Marquez II & III were close, Pacquiao has not been convincingly beat since Morales-Pacquiao I in 2005. Marquez should be a 4 or 5 division champion after tonight, but is not due to that poor decision by the judges for Pacquiao-Bradley. It taints this victory because Marquez should get sole credit for being the dude who beat Pacquiao since 2005 and should not share the spotlight with Bradley. Anyway, Pacquiao and Marquez are two of the greatest fighters of their generation (started in mid 90's) and they showed it tonight. Both of these guys should be commended and they represent what is great about this sport. I don't know, it just feels like an empty victory due to the Bradley fight. People are saying, "Pacquiao has lost two in a row, so he should retire." That's ******.
Bradley "Victory" Ruined Marquez Victory

You should have stopped yourself right there. Marquez convincingly defeated Pacquiao last year. And no, Bradley's "victory" does nothing to diminish Maquez's K.O. win.This sucks.

Meh anybody with half a brain knows Pacquiao dominated Bradley. It will suck for people in 20 years when that gets forgotten but anybody who actually watched the fight knows Pacquiao won that fight and it doesn't take away anything from this fightComment

Marquez won by a stunning knockout that will get replayed over and over throughout the boxing world.
The fact is, this whole fight occurred because of the questionable decisions in the last 3 fights anyway. This wasn't about decisively being the guy to beat Pac, but removing the question mark of the Marquez/Pacquiao series itself.
In this way, this victory stands by itself.Comment
