Clean and Effective Punching
Ring Generalship
Effective Aggression
Defense
In Pacquiao-Marquez III, people that state that Pacquiao won are using Pacquiao's ring generalship and the challenger needing to take that title from the champion.
Ring Generalship
People percieve Pacquiao as the ring general because he had a higher output and pressed the fight. That is not ring generalship, that falls under effective aggression and becomes ineffective aggression when it doesn't lead to achieving the 2 criteria above it. The ring general dictates the pace of the fight, he establishes when and where the exchanges take place. In Pacquiao-Marquez III, the ring general was JMM throughout the fight. He dictated when and where the fight was fought.
Margarito pressed the fight forcing Pacquiao to the backfoot, did this make him the ring general?
Taking the title from the champion
A boxing match is scored on a round by round basis, not based on the entire fight, so winning 7 rounds of a fight (without point deductions) is taking the title from the champion.
Corruption?
The judge that had the 116-112 scorecard, Glenn Trowbridge, scored 3 of the last 4 rounds for Pacquiao. The 1 round he scored for Marquez is the 12th.... I'll repeat that: the judge that had the 116-112 scorecard, Glenn Trowbridge, scored the last 3 of the last 4 rounds for Pacquiao. The 1 round he scored for Marquez is the 12th. That, to me, is a corrupt judge who had the fight too close going into the last 3rd, so he decides to give Pacquiao 3 consecutive rounds, where Marquez appears the winner. After realizing Pacquiao's ahead enough, but understanding that a 117-111 scorecard for Pacquiao to be insane, he gives Marquez the only clear Pacquiao round, so it appear as if he's not the corrupt judge he is.
