    Very close but mmm didn't do enough as the challenger to take away his belt.

    It's not about accepting the judges opinion, it's also the opinion of a large number of experienced observers. See my link on previous page, it's only a minority of the press that had JMM outright winning. Of course JMM winning is a legit outcome, no argument.

    It wasn't as wide as some people make it out to be, but JMM definitely deserved the win. I thought all in all, it was an uneventful night for both fighters.

    I scored the fight twice. Both times I had Pacquiao winning close. I like both Manny and Juan Manuel, so I had no dog in the fight so to speak. If someone says they had Marquez winning close then I won't argue with that. I would respectfully disagree, but I wouldn't argue. A close win for either guy is fair to me. Now, if you told me that Paul Williams deserved his decision against Lara, we will be arguing then.

    Even a 1 point card can be a robbery if the rounds were easy to score, you of all people should know that.

    And there is no way to even justify a draw for Pac let alone a win.
    Voted robbery of the year for a reason.

    How is it cherrypicked stat? It's on boxrec, I didn't put it together. How many people you think are paid to write about boxing in English, 30,000?

    There's very few fight press polls as comprehensive as this. I challenge you to find one just 10% bigger.

    anything from 8-4 Marquez to 10-2 Marquez is ok
    7-5 Marquez is pushing it
    draw or Pacquiao winning then we know who your favourite boxer is


    p.s ko 6

    The fact you had to throw that in tells us you're to be taken serious on the topic

    Exactly this. You have to look HARD to give Pacquiao 7 rounds.
