In the first one Pac came out like a tornado and almost wiped JMM out but the Mexican kept coming back and although he was supposed to be the superior boxer, Pac held hi own and often out thought him. Had Pac winning by 3 points I think. Eventually got robbed on the cards.

    The 4th is one of the greatest solbber knockers of all time and it was an intense experience sitting through it. There was just no way of telling which way the ifght would go and as I said aftert he weight in, JMM was in the shape of his life. Thanks memo!
    So Marquez the "Supposed" better boxer got out thought in the first fight ? U had Pacquiao winning by 3 points in what u call a "Robbery" and Marquez KO'd Pacquiao because he was roided thanks to Memo ?

      No.4 Must probably the most historical, and greatest decisive endings of all fights in history. There is no fight I could think of that matches that, even the Fraizer-Ali III seemed unfinished because of how the fight ending where Fraizer wants to continue and Ali seemed disheartened. But the JMM-Pacquiao ends in a one punch knockout that came out from the movies, and that was at the moment where Pacquiao was about to knock Marquez out.
      Frazier was done. Ali would have killed him in that last round but it did lack a complete KO finish. Then again, I don't think Pac/JMM ever reached the same level of brutality and beauty as Ali/Frazier did.

        I called it a robbery because one of the judges failed to count a KD, if he had done so, on his card, Pac would have won, with 2 cards in Pac's favour, the fight goes to Pacquiao. Yet it was JMMs camp that kept claiming whereas Pac just took it on the chin (pun intended).

        And yes, Memo was key to JMM winning fight 4.

          I like the 3rd. Marquez took everything he learned from the other 2 fights and come up with a good game plan. He was patient, kept the right distance, and capitalized on Pacquiao's mistakes. Pacquiao looked like was sleep walking through that fight. The 4th was also good because they both came to fight. The KO was icing on the cake.

                    4th fight was an all-time classic. Probably the best fight of the last 15 years or so.

                      If the 4th one went longer, that would've easily been the best one. But ending half way through made it an epic KO rather than an epic fight. But they were beating the sh.t out of each other to that point. The second one gets my vote.
