    Doesn't seem so accurate when fighting Juan Manuel Marquez.Marquez effortlessly ducked Pacquiao's eleven punch combination in their 3rd fight.

    Then perhaps it wasnt wise for Pac to fight him a 3rd time...

    IMO he got a decision he didn't deserve...so it didn't really hurt him either way. I scored a draw (first one) and 2 JMM wins. I always liked Marquez but it was the middle of the first fight where I became a fan.

    Would you really score the first fight a draw?

    I scored it 114-113 for Manny if my memory is right, but it was indeed a close fight. However, corect me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of (if not all of them) modern fights using the 3 knockdowns rule? Why was this fight different?

    What bell? I was talking about the 3 knockdowns rule, where if a fighter is knocked down 3 times on a single round, he loses by TKO.
