How would this have affected both of their careers? How would it have affected the whole 2000s? Would there have been any talks of a rematch after such a (seemingly) decisive victory? Would Pacquiao be ranked much higher P4P with his biggest rival extinguished?

What if Joe Cortez stopped Pacquiao/Marquez 1 after the third knockdown?

If Burt Clements wasn't incompetent and had scored the third knockdown, Pacquiao would have won the fight.

--- Say what you will about Clements, but he at least manned up to his error, something fairly infirm Cortez could never do.

What if boxing had done the right thing and overturned the draw to a win for Pacquiao. The people in charge of sports need to start doing the right thing and manning the f*** up. Like when that umpire Jim Joyce got the call wrong at first base and robbed that pitched of a perfect game back in what, 2010? And it was proven in replays the call was wrong and Bed Selig still wouldn't correct the mistake because be made up some bull**** excuse about setting a bad precedent. Of what? Correcting mistakes? It's like Bill Parcells said when he was asked about it when instant replay was brought back to the NFL "Just get the calls right" and those two they got wrong, really wrong. I guess Selig was afraid of people protesting every little call, but that's what challenge limits are for and it's not like managers are protesting all the time, it's maybe once or twice at the most per game. Just do the right thing and stop hiding behind your corporate or government bureaucracy.
And if judges score a fight wrong, review it and if it's decided it was wrong by an unbiased panel, overturn the f****n thing.

I remember Cortez being interviewed on this and I believe he said he nearly did stop it, I think.
