Pacquiao vs Marquez....simply put was amazing

[BrometheusBob.]

The highest regard I ever had for Pacquiao was probably during that 1 minute separating rounds 1 and 2 in the first Marquez fight. Thought Pac was gonna steamroll over everyone after that.

But yeah a boxing fan's dream of a rivalry. Drama, back and forth action at a high level, and a sudden devastating ending.

My favorite boxing rivalry of all-time, love it even more than Ali-Frazier. So competitive with two evenly matched fighters with clashing styles that complimented each other.

Some idiot fans say Marquez got robbed three times, and other idiot fans say Marquez needed four tries to win. The first two fights were so close that one point made a difference. I thought Marquez got jobbed the third time, but it was still pretty close.

The 4th fight was just epic. Manny was really giving it to Marquez and had him in more trouble than he's ever had him in, went for the kill only to get knocked out himself. Both guys wanted to prove who was the better man once and for all.

#48 is the worst thing that happened to boxing in the last decade, a fabrication at all costs because Arum lost Floyd he didn't mind and acted ******, along with HBO, allowing roids and Toradol in the BG. Many NSB vets here were either naive and immune to Network goonery or not knowing the limits of boxing's political power which is why many are in denial. Hauser is a perfect example of goonery.

I still have a strong bet one day Pac will come out and spill the beans when finally enlightened... it will happen. Arum will have to pass away first if anything. Koncz that snake piece of sht. Arum and Koncz on that Emron Exec. goonery sht along with HBO..

Boxing, the non regulated sport.

Why all this? Because we can't fall back on classic bouts and praise other legends without providing Manny an excuse or benefit of the doubt. Dogmatic...yet after May 2nd and present Pacquiao says the dumbest sht yeah....he's immune from PEDs...

The reality is many won't accept Pac roided because it takes aways more than a decade of their own personal life only to actually realize how the world works..

You still have never provided a shred of evidence for the claims you use to discredit the man's career.

I use sources and testimony that makes sense, which is citing Conte is better than just random theory around here. PEDs, if you know its abbreviation, might have correlation to an athletes physique for people to wonder any theory.

The reality is circumstances change dramatically when idiots believe or follow propaganda favoring Pac for benefit of the doubt.

Everyone here knows boxing writers gave up on Pac after losing to Floyd. From salt water healing to Pac's stance on politics...

Fraud at best

Yeah, i'm looking at the tv at the time like "this dude is a monster" I already thought he was a beast though a bit crude and nobody would be able to handle him. Then the rest of the fight happened

In fact I got in love with boxing with Pacquiao vs. Márquez IV.

[soul_survivor]

Pacquiao started it off with 3 knockdowns in the 1st round of the 1st fight.....and Marquez ended it in the last fight with a brutal lights out ko.....what more can you ask for BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!

stfu larry, u literally cant post anything other than something about may or pac.

bloody hell, go back on that punching bag and learn to throw a punch.

[IronDanHamza]

Definitely some of the most beautiful and poetic brutally you'll see.

Pacquaio the left handed animal with bombs in both hands, insane speed of hand and foot and an all out warrior vs Marquez the right handed Mexican warrior with amazing combinations and counter punching skills.

Harder to get a better style match up.

As you said, started with the 3 knockdowns, imagine if the ref stopped it???? Some refs would have and we would never have seen the series unfold.

Marquez fought back to a draw, amazing.

2nd fight, amazing.

3rd fight not was action packed but amazing in the sense Marquez was expected to get destroyed and he made it razor close and arguably won.

4th fight? No words needed.

Provide a single link to a source that definitively shows Pac took steroids. Your Conte quote is just his speculation.
