In history whos win over manny will be a bigger one and why

[Jc8804]

When Marquez iced manny with a one punch knockout
To end their rivalry before mayweather fight ..

Or when floyd out pointed manny after the marquez ko
In a fight that had at least 3 swing rounds and that also had both fighters throwing the least amount of punches ever in a fight.

Explain one is more important than the other

Obviously Marquez knocking him out cold. That shook the entire boxing world, and a much bigger achievement.

Not to put down the Floyd victory, but the Marquez win was something pretty special.

Considering it is taking Manny fans so much longer to cope with the Floyd loss, I think we know the real answer. The stans were all back within 3-4 months after KTFO6. They Floyd loss has run off all but a handful for a much longer time.

So, KTFO6 will be remembered by boxing fans as a way more memorable occasion. With Pac's loyal army however, the Floyd loss seems to sent the bulk of Manny's online support into permanent exile.

Marquez, not only was it a defining end to a brutal rivalry but it was also highly dramatic. Floyd's win on the other hand was near the end of their careers, riddled with out of the ring drama for years and a dull showcase that left an unsatisfied taste in the mouths of millions whom purchased and succumbed to the hype of boxing's most expensive event.

If anything the options should have been between Erik Morales' victory over a wild and reckless Pac and the brutal KO Marquez delivered to Pac's legacy.

Marquez has the more spectacular victory but I think it history will focus more on the loss to Mayweather because it was the super fight of this generation. I think it will be similar to Hearns knockout over Duran. Very impressive but history focuses on him losing to Leonard and Hagler.

JMM for sure.

May's version still a great win.

One goes without saying - in the Marquez fight, both were past their prime; but Manny was showing some offensive brilliance and taking Marquez apart before that counter left.

In the Floyd fight, Floyd was/is past his prime - but Manny was beyond washed up. Floyd fought a shell and was content with coasting. To be honest; at this point - neither of them really wanted to get hurt and go for broke. It was an expensive sparring session that they were both okay to participate in.

Came here to post this. Morales beat a prime version of Pacquiao.

Manny had already started declining before KTFO6, after he beat Margarito. Marquez's win is of course still great, though.

Floyd's win is something for Flomos to jack off to. It wasn't memorable, it wasn't a masterclass, it was just mehhh.
