        Sorry, but he did not "convincingly" beat Pac. He KHTFO but he was not even winning the fight. Pac was tagging him and I belive that Pac was very close on stopping Marquez.

        Did Marquez tag him at the right time, yes, and it took him 4 fights (like you said) to do so.

        Again, ONE shot stops does not mean jack chit. You just happen to tag the other guy with one brutal shot. You could be lossing the fight 11 rounds and 2:57 seconds, just one side beat down, WHAM! You got caught with ONE shot and got KTFO. That does not means that you dominated the fight or are the better guy.

        Same thing with the Sergio KO over Williams. Was a brutal KO? Yes. Did it means that he was dominating the fight...NO.

          Pac vs Marquz 3 was the convincing beating. Fourth fight was the second way to beat him, the way that didn't need the judges blessing.

              Outside of the obvious guys, I'm guessing it would be hard to prepare for a right hander that throws a mean ass left hook like Danny Garcia.

              Herrera did a great job avoiding that as where no other boxer thus far has been able to.

                It's his signature punch. He limited himself to that punch thinking it would land at will. Same problem with Donaire. Once that pattern was understood someone would exploit it and learn how to neutralize it. Herrera was that man.
