    the third one is pretty one sided. the second one points a lot to how the third one would go. the closest one is the first fight. that's it. otherwise, pac never bested jmm whereas jmm schooled pac. still high though as you've got two atg's. but still you can't take away the fact that pac got dominated and still won on the cards.

    Good list!

    The JMM-Pac fights kept you on the edge of your seat, because you sensed Pacquiao was just a punch away from turning the momentum, but the reality is that most knowledgeable in the sport had JMM winning the majority of the rounds.

    Of the 36 rounds fought, I have Marquez winning 28 of them, and a great majority of those by clear margins.

    The naysayers that keep pointing to Pacquiao's 4 knockdowns, completely ignore that 3 of those knockdowns came in the very first round fought.
    The subsequent 35 rounds has produced but one knockdown, but if you're a *******, they preach it as if Marquez has been getting knockdown every few rounds, which clearly is'nt the case.

    Great trilogy for the fans to watch without a doubt, but as far as competiveness and the fights going down to the wire, it lacks with some of the other great trilogies in boxing history.


    Let me add another trilogy that may be the very best in boxing history,
    Holyfield vs Bowe!!!:deal:deal:deal

    Easily.

    Marquez and Pac are still gonna fight one more time. SMH

    But their three fights rank top 10 for me because there are still greater one likes Bowe/Holy, Gatti/Ward, Barrera/Morales, Marquez/Vasquez, Gonzales/Carabajal, Zale/Graziano


    and of course, Ali/Frazier.

    prefer Morales-Pac trilogy.

    part II is very underrated. Morales was winning until the 6th when the nostradamuses say he had no legs and was past prime.

    Not in my top ten to be up there someone needs at least 1 win but I do think he got jobbed in the last fight 1-0-2 .

    lol I said the exact same thing

    as for Pac-JMM: great trilogy, when you watch the fights back to back you can see how these guys get more and more civilized and by the third fight, you have a congressman and a sports commentator squaring off (just look at their hair lol).

    Morales was past his prime in their first fight.

    I honestly enjoyed the Pac-JMM trilogy more than the MAB-Morales one.

    Really? I guess I just hated seeing Marquez get robbed of his ATG win in November.
