Where would you rank the Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy all-time?

Discuss. Marqueers and *******s, pls keep the vemom and vitriol to a minimum.

 

Nice groupee name.

The list gets longer everyday.

Anyways, In terms of action and excitement, this ranks very highly.

Of course the results are always up to debate, but it is guaranteed action each time out.

 

I think in terms of competitiveness its gotta be #1, each fight could've gone either way.

 

The back and forth action, the tension when within range of each other, the rhythm of their feints and movements side to side, make them some of my favorite fights to watch. 1 has an incredible amount of drama, 2 has a ton of action, and 3 has a lot of tense excitement, but all 3 carry those same qualities as well. I have Marquez winning all 3 (some closer than others), but Pacquiao competed very well and they're my favorite fights to watch. Those two were made for each other.

 

I agree. The third one was the most tense albeit the least amount of punches thrown. I think with the history, the weight of expectations on pAc, and the surprising performance by JMM, that third fight made for a great capper....that is if they don't fight for a 4th time.

 

Everyone will always remember jmm when speaking of pac and vice versa.

 

I wouldn't rank it anywhere. I look at it for what it really is. Pacquiao lost the 1st fight with him!!! If he knocked Marquez down 3 times in the 1st round and only left with a draw, you can call that a loss. He was up by so many points after round 1, so he MUST'VE been on the tail end of a massive ass whooping in order to leave the building with a draw. The rematch happened how many years later??? The final chapter happened how many years after the rematch???

C'mon man be serious here. Pacquiao is JMM's *****!!!! With that said, let me ask a question of my own...Are you ready??? This is especially for the *******s and the Mayweather detractors.

Would Manny Pacquiao be the P4P king if he would've fought the trilogy with Marquez back to back to back??? My answer says of course he would...
NOT!!! It's simple math that draws me to my conclusion. Manny's decisions over JMM in the 2nd and 3rd try were razor thin to the point where people can say that Marquez BEAT PACQUIAO 3 TIMES. If that trilogy counts as an ATG type trilogy, then boxing is in bad shape.

Let's keep it really funky. Manny's advisor said that it was his idea to put the 3rd fight with Marquez off for 3 years. He also said that they hoped that age and added weight would slow the Mexican legend down. Where does 'ATG trilogy' fit in to that statement??? Someone please explain to me how they think it was an ATG trilogy? I know there are scores of people who think Pacquiao is God's gift to boxing. Those are the people who don't know jack about the sweet science.

Pac has his team cherry picking for him. He trusts them to place in a situation that appears 'dangerous' to the public, but safe enough for Manny to go out there and make tons of mistakes without paying the ultimate price. This is just my take on it.

 

Look man, most if not all of Marquez's hardcore fans respect Pacquiao a great deal and respect the way he was able to compete in that trilogy, even if he lost. It was an ATG trilogy because it featured two ATG fighters competing at their very best with a very fluid blend of physical talent and sharp technical exchanges. If you hate a fighter like Manny so much that you can't enjoy some of the best fights in boxing history, I feel ****ing bad for you.

I'm going to rewatch fight number 2 tonight - don't think I've even seen the whole fight actually!!!

 

Higher than Ali-Frazier imho not with significance but with personal preference. Only series I like better I can think of are Walcott-Charles and Sahaprom-Nishioka. Other than that its slightly higher than Vasquez-Marquez which is another great series(other than IV).

All three are great fights which is very rare for series and both ATGs deserve lots of credit not just individually but also for the heart the showed each time. Not getting to what I think of the results of each as that gets beaten to death. Just here to appreciate the series and applaud fans of both, fans of either, or just fans of the series.

 

not that high.

 

Somewhere in the middle.

 

Top 5 imo.

 

Definitely in my top 3. Every fight had me on the edge of my seat and was there at the third one. Dissapointed with the decisions but as far as the fights themselves, all great fights.

 

morales vs. barrera would still rank above it imo
