      Yes it is an incredible picture. One of the best I've ever seen given the magnitude of what it is. And as far as Manny coming back let me ask you this. What fighter who is Manny's age who people have been claiming is slowing down who is anywhere near Manny's weight has ever been sparked out cold with one shot and managed to come back anything but a shell of their former self? I can't think of a single one. Once the chin goes, it goes. And the confidence in the chin holding up is gone. Forever.

        It'll be famous but not on the level of Ali-Liston. Marquez and pacquiao aren't as big as Ali

          Yep. No picture will ever eclipse Ali v Liston. But this is about as close as one can come to it I think, unless the picture was Manny and Floyd.

            True! not on the same level of Ali vs Liston, but it's an instant modern classic boxing picture. 40 years from now this could be the most famous picture from this era.

            I think this pic is better though:

              so you are admitting that pacquiao only looks good against old shot fighters.

                I like this picture too. Hopefully, they can eliminate bayless and his ass from this photo through the use of today's advanced technology

                      there actually don't appear to be any pictures of that sort of quality of the marquez knockout.

                      the footage isnt great footage either, by the look of things. nobody got a great angle with the camera.

                      when williams went out the main hbo camera zoomed right in on the vacant look in his eyes. it was a prolific shot (with the camera,) to go with a prolific shot (the punch.)


                      pacquaio's back was to the main camera, and the ringside camera didnt have a great angle.

                      you also had that jackass in the first row putting his hand out there for got knows why. anybody know who that was, or why he was doing that?
