The myth that Pacquaio gave Marquez 4 chances

[chrisJS]

Thanks to "MEMO" he was able to put Manny to sleep so congratulations to Juan. By the way, how's his knee injury again?

And Pacquaio always fought clean?

Good one.

I think the idea of Pac giving Marquez "chances" is from the second fight onwards because Pac by then was clearly the bigger star, a MUCH bigger star. Pac didn't have to fight him again after that second fight but it really happened because Mayweather once more ducked the bout (fought Ortiz instead and said Pac was next...only to claim he never said that lol).

Heck, if anyone should be aggrieved about that first fight, it has to be the Pacman, considering one of the judges didnt know how to score a KD and missed the point, ending up with a draw. Yet it was JMM who was *****ing like a *****.

2-0 should have been the score. After that, I believe JMM won the 3rd fight and did so very well and then ofc the 4th where JMM looked like the Mexican Hulk...Burritulk!

By the same token, if Cortez had correctly called the punch whilst Marquez was down Pacquaio loses a point on all three cards so loses even if we score round 1 10-6. I think Pacquaio got the benefit of the two wrong calls in that fight.

Pac won the first fight and was robbed because of Bert Clements incompetence. He was winning the fourth fight when Roidez landed his lucky counter. Roidez also insisted he won the Bradley fight and got robbed every time he lost. He is a whiner and a cheater and has Pac to thank for his wealth and place in the BHOF.

Desperate? oh c'mon. It was just a miracle punch so it's nothing. You can post that miracle punch slomo GIF 1,000,000 times if you like

Infact Pac got hit with the same punch throughout the quadriology. So Marq was just breaking him down with the same punch fight after fight and finally he sealed the deal with the last touch.

wow someone still defending floyds 40 million duck. that takes guts. your argument is so easily refuted. pac fought marquez for less therefore it was a duck! and floyd fought maidana for less duck! floyd fought guerrero for less duck! etc... floyd fought maidana/guerrero for 30 mill instead of 300 million if he just gave pac a fair share. pac made around 30 million for the marquez fight so a 10 million difference where floyd missed out on 270 million for refusing to give pac a fair share but you are on his side of course. you never mention how he fought fights for 270 million less only how pac for for 10 million less cause he was being ripped off with that offer. no bias of course.

He turned the offer down. Stop spinning it.

No one gave anyone a chance, both benefited from the fights. Money fights that were meant to clear controversy.

But, Marquez did duck the first rematch.

Amazing how he got older, and stronger. Landed those punches hundreds of times on Pac and never phased him.

I'm not going off ifs buts and maybes. I'm going off of what actually happened. You know a little thing called reality.

manny only gave JMM the 3rd fight because of how Jmm looked against floyd...it was a cherry gone terribly wrong.....everyone said "jmm cant carry his skills up that high its evident now"...till he beat pac again....then he gave him the 4th fight because he exhausted most of his good options by then

same thing i said in my post on the first page

cherry pick gone wrong


fight 2 was 4 years later

fight 3 was after jmm had tough fights and a one sided loss to mayweather

fight 4 was to clear things after manny thought jmm won fight 3 and thought he'd finally gotten old enough to beat clearly

cherry picks gone wrong

That's the biggest problem. If jmm had been that type of puncher as a younger man, fine but not only does he hit harder, he has the best physique of his career at his worst weight.. All the while working with a known cheat.

The fact that pac even humbly accepted that loss sys a lot about the man.
