    That's only for the ones that really care about boxing. A lot of so called fans just turn their face on the subject!

      People will say that Marquez had Pacquiao's number but Pac accomplished more. The final word is JMM standing triumphant unless that changes that's what it is.

        Ridiculous.

        Then one should suspect Marquez for using Memo in the biggest win of his career. Either way, it's pointless.

          Pacquiao has the stronger resume and the better accomplishments.

            Yes, Marquez is Pacquiaos kryptonite. but people act as if Marquez was robbed in all 3 fights, but the truth is they were close competetive fights and if Marquez got all the decisions people would say Pacquiao was robbed.

            So even with the KO loss, I think Pacquiao is the better fighter (against same opposition) and has accomplished way more.
            But who are these better fighters you speak of? Diaz, Margarito, Mosley, De La Hoya?

            I'll give him Barrera, Clottey, Hatton, Cotto. But Pacquiao's resume is pretty suspect after that. Morales? He lost to him, then beat him AFTER Raheem beat him. Margarito? Beat him after he was coming off 1.5 years off+a TKO loss to Mosley, who Pacquiao clearly ducked in 2009-2010. Mosley? See previous sentence. Diaz? Weakest champion at 135. De La Hoya? Weight drained, but that was not Pacquiao's fault.

              I think Marquez is greater because he dared to be great.

                They're not the same because Marquez never refused testing; Pac did.

                  Who's Marquez' 2nd best scalp, and where would he be on Pac's resume?

                    ****** question.

                    pac's resume is far superior.

                    it doesn't matter if jmm beat him.
