First of all, Pacquaio didn't give Marquez anything. Fighting Marquez in the second fight was the way to guarantee him the biggest purse. Arum forced him to fight Marquez in the third and fourth fight to avoid putting Pacquaio in the ring with Mayweather. Secondly, JMM doesn't need to prove anything. The knockout in the last fight was not a fluke and no rematch is needed.
If there's no fifth can we say JMM is ducking Manny

LOL.... you got a way with words...
You are correct that he did chase him, but its not like manny has been fighting nothing but david diaz type fighters.....
I give props for manny because he got a gift from the judges in the 3rd bout, and instead of saying its over, trilogy done, he came back and gave jmm a 3rd rematch...... He could have easily dodged him then..... But he didnt...Comment

There has to be a 5th fight. Only fair to give a man his shot for knocking him out after him giving you chances. All fights have been exciting and worth my money. I pay to see exciting fights, not to see a runner throwing one punch and claiming that he won.Comment

The gift thing is overblown. A solid majority of press row cards did not have him winning, including both BS editors:

Yeah, people only like to call robbery because it's Marquez favorite word in the English language. I also had Pacquaio winning, and although people 'hate' on compubox, it also agrees Pacquaio outboxed Marquez.

That said, I remember Marquez fans bringing up much smaller compubox advantages for JMM in the other 2 fights, despite the KDs.Last edited by HeroBando; 07-07-2013, 06:13 PM.Comment

That's the thing, how often do you see so many people crying about the rerun of a fight that was last years FOTY, KOTY, with ROTY contender?Comment

Wouldn't mind watching it a 5th time but JMM is the only one between the two with a conclusive victory out of the 4 fight series, they both should move on its done.Comment
