The poll speaks for itself. The vast majority of people felt Marquez was jobbed as he was. Marquez clearly won the third fight, was unjustfully denied the decision but came back to knock Pacquiao out, proving to be Pacquiao's kryptonite as Manny was NEVER able to convincingly beat Marquez. Is JMM greater than Manny?? I don't think so but Marquez, a great fighter in his own right, clearly has Pacquiao's number.
I don't think he had Pacquiao's number. Yes he knocked him out cold but Pacquiao was winning the fight up till Marquez landed that bomb. Pacquiao looked like he was going to knock Marquez out. Marquez clearly wasn't sure he could beat Pacquiao again because he turned down huge money offers to fight Pacquiao again and fought others for much less money. If he was confident he would win again then why not take the big money and beat Pacquiao again? I think Marquez wanted to end the series with him winning by KO rather than fight Pacquiao for any amount of money and risk losing again. I am pretty sure Pacquiao would have won a 5th fight and I think Bradley would agree. Marquez is much older than Pacquiao and that gives Pacquiao an edge. I am a big fan of both fighters.
I thought it was a very close fight. After several viweings I settled with a score of 115-113 Pacquiao or a draw. Great fight by two legends of the sport .
