    I mean lets face it,
    The man has no plan B, Whether is game plan was to stay on the outside to try avoid getting countered it didn't work for him.

    He got reckless and wild, and got knocked the fuck out.

    Reckon its time he hung em' up, two straight losses, fu
    ck outta here...

    Trying way too hard, man.

    Pac got what was coming by a man obsessed with beating him.

    There's not a fighter alive who wanted a win more than Marquez.

      I'm not trying to discredit Marquez, he boxed beautifully and it was a long deserved win.

        That's exactly what you're doing by making a thread like this.

        Demeaning all the hard work Marquez had to go through in order to get the victory.

          No.

          Pacquiao had all these weaknesses since the day he stepped into the ring up unil today and he still managed to have a hall of fame worthy career. He's not the most skilled fighter, but he made up for it with speed, athleticism, determination, and grit.

          He's still an all-time great, he's just on the downside of his career, and even still, it's not like he got KO'ed by a chump. This is a guy who arguably has gotten the best of Pac before.

              A b class fighter? No B class fighter marks Marquez up like Pac has over the last four fights.

              And you are discrediting Marquez you delinquent- by saying he's gone toe-to-toe with a B class fighter and only prevailed convincingly in the final fight. What does that make Marquez?

                Well, he did incredibly well as a 'B class' fighter.

                There's a difference between a great fighter and a great text book, technical boxer. Pac may not be the most technical but he's a great fighter.

                  8 years, 2 losses and a draw.

                  You nor I have any idea how badly Marquez wanted this.

                  In Marquez's mind Manny will never be just a B-class fighter.
