Eric Morales defeating Pacquiao in 2005, or Marquez KO'ing Pacquiao in 2012

[BlackSnakeMamba]

Which is the more impressive victory?

[BlackSnakeMamba]

I actually picked near past his prime Morales winning via Unanimous Decision over Pacquiao. He actually schooled a 27 yrs.old Manny. It sucks that he was beaten by Zahir Raheem in his next fight. No to take anything away from JMM, but he was losing the fight before that impressive Knock out from hell. And some guys were saying that he was using Peds against Pacman.

I think it's a tougher question than expected at first glance, but I'd go with Morales beating Pac in 2005.

It was the last great performance from Erik.

Good question. Both victories were impressive in their own right, but I'm leaning with Marquez. After 3 previous fights of never putting Manny down, that knockout was brutal and totally unexpected. I'm sure there were plenty of people that predicted Morales would outbox a very wild Manny back then (Morales may have even been favored in that fight...anybody know?), but how many besides Hectari (lol) could have predicted a 39 year old Marquez to do something so spectacular?

[IMDAZED]

Both were huge upsets but the Marquez KO was also shocking so I'd have to give it the edge here.

Definitely morales.

Pac was dominating marquez, and of course there are the peds rumors.

It was the last great performance from Erik.

It was his last great performance that resulted in a win. To me, his showing against Maidana was his last great fight.

To answer the question, I think Morales takes this even if Marquez had the "earth shattering" knockout.

Marquez for me

Morales.


Incredible Hulk Marquez KO win is suspect.
