Its turning into another NSB floydiot sewer in here.

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. Marquez perfectly executed that punch and tucked Pacquiao to bed along with the sorry ass sobbing fans. 847895 fights later Pacquaio still struggles with Marquez's style and cant simply close the book.

I'm not a raving Pacquiao fan or anything, but I like the way he fight. What makes his fans such sorry a55es? Couldn't that be said for any and all athetes fans? This isn't football for crying out loud.

Pac should of never even gave Marquez a 4th fight to begin with.. 2 controversial wins over Marquez already, what the hell was the point of a 4th fight.. Oh well.. No all the debates are over and Marquez has a legitmate KO over Pac..

Pac and his handlers are straight dumb..

Why would that make Pacquiao and his team dumb? He was 2-0-1 vs Marquez and with all of the critics on his back, he took the 4th fight to try and prove who was better. And, IMO he did , right up until he got starched. Anyone who gets hit that flush goes to sleep with punches they never see.

My point is that it's a little hypocritical to ask a warrior boxing champ to not fight like one. It's boxing, this happens. Lets wait and see how he looks after this and make judgement then.

He took the 4th fight because Cotto refused another CW bout and the Tim rematch wouldn't sell enough for manny to make the money he wanted.

when negotiating the cotto cw Manny was qouted as saying he "had nothing more to prove against JMM". It wasn't about challenge, honor or anything of the sort.

JMM is lucky that Pacquiao was dumb enough to walk straight into a punch that JMM had been setting up and landing from the first fight.

You people are fools. How many times has Pacquiao said something along the lines of his own KO wins being lucky? It's just his way of saying that anything can happen in boxing, he's not actually discrediting JMM. Quote was taken out of context by the media and you dummies eat it up.

And thats putting it very mildly

Marquez was badly hurt and had a broken nose with blood flowing everywhere

Had that lucky punch never happened, Marquez probably would've quit on the stool or got knocked out in the first minute of the 7th round.

Pac was coming on strong and close to a stoppage himself, but the punch wasn't lucky. It was a perfectly well timed couter that connected just right. Nothing to be ashamed about in that. Marquez deserves credit for it.

Now, what I don't agree with is how for years, he begged, pleaded, talked trash, boozed and smoozed a way into several Pacquiao fights for more money than he had ever made before and now that he gets the finish he wanted, he all of the sudden washes his hands of Pacquiao. That's bull*hit and I think everyone here knows it.

Didn't everyone in both camps say that this fight would seal the deal? Get over it. Marquez said from the beginning that he was going for the KO and that's what he did, he ended the rivalry by sending Pacquiao to dreamland.

How do you know what it was about? Are you a member of Pacquiao's camp or something? Manny did want a Bradley rematch and Bradley refused, twice.
Tim knew he got battered in that fight and wanted no part of a rematch, even for a much larger piece of the pie. Marquez seems like a more winnable, high profile fight, so he took it.

Since when has Pacquiao been a fighter who avoids tough fights? He never had to face JM again if he didn't want to. Manny was the money maker, not Marquez. He would have made about the same whomever he fought that wasn't named Mayweather. He chose to take the fight to set the score straight once and for all, he said it numerous times.

Okay then, by your logic if it ended the rivalry, the 4th fight technically wan't even needed seeing as how Pacquiao was 2-0-1 vs Marquez coming into.

Thanks for making that perfectly clear.
