It was always Marquez chasing Pacquiao and practically begging for a rematch. Pacquiao was winning the fight and then Marquez gets the KO and refuses a rematch. I have little doubt Pacquiao would win. Just compare their respective showings against Bradley. Pacquiao gave Marquez the rematch he asked for and now Pacquiao wants a rematch. Marquez should have given him a rematch.

I could make a full proof argument for Bradley having won 9-3. Really can't see you doing the same for a Draw of all things.
I still clearly remember the fight. It was the first I ever bought on PPV.

And i'm not sure why you threw in the "my first PPV" in there. My first PPV was in the '90s, a Tyson fight? Since we're sharing such info. But who cares.
Round by round, Marquez outlanded Bradley in power punches in 9 of 12 rounds. Rbr, Bradley outlanded JMM in jabs in 9 of 12 rounds.
Overall JMM landed slightly better, JMM outlanded Bradley 115 to 84 power punches. Bradley outlanded JMM in jabs. Depends what you like more, jabs or power punches. I like pp more. So don't come talking about boxing knowledge, especially for my comments for this fight. A JMM win is actually warranted (If you're looking for clean punches), let alone a Draw.
2 of the 3 judges had it close, one for JMM 113-115, the other one close for Bradley 115-113. It was actually a CLOSE fight, don't come with revisionist history.

Originally posted by Strategic1 View PostNah... not anymore. JMM blew his momentum anyways by losing to Bradley. Losing to Bradley sums it up for me. Pac-JMM made for great matches. Their fights were so close, that they were debatable.
But Pac clearly had a style that was able to beat and trouble more fighters and at higher weights.
I rather have Pac face the Thurman/Garcia winner or Brook (if he wins) and then retire.
