not really controversial imo. i think pacquiao deserved to win based on the last time i scored it. (scored it for jmm the first time)
i think people were amazed every round marquez didn't get ktfo'd. we were expecting pac to kick ass, and marquez to get his ass kicked. that didn't happen and it made it look like marquez was doing better than he actually did
reality is, the fight was close. could have gone either way.

You're a bum if you struggle against one of the most skilled boxers/counter punchers in the game?!?

Who does this apply to exactly? Because let me tell you, Martinez's last outing had the Pacman fanbase calling him severly overrated even though he walked away with a ko.
It's the way the cookie crumbles. Boxing would have been better off without the *******. Everything they spout is stupid. Marquez was ok for Manny, but not Floyd. Mosley was washed up for Floyd, after they claimed Floyd won't fight him,( but not for Manny). Manny has cleaned out 147, even though it's Floyd that dispatched at least 4 champions. I could go on, but what's the point?

Additionally, Manny once again struggled against a boxer, which is a criticism he has faced for years as he has risen to the upper echelon of the sport.
This is what happens when you fail to meet expectations against good competition.

Manny failed to live up to expectations against the best opponent he has fought in sveral years, depending on how you judge cotto at 145.
