    "Too aggressive, or he was going in for the kill." That could'nt be further from the truth.

    Pacquiao was'nt overly aggressive, he was making his typical moves, and going in for the kill???? Please, rewatch the last couple of minutes of that round and tell me Pacquiao was going in for the kill?
    Pacquiao was'nt going in for the kill, he was getting dissected the latter half of that round right before the KO. In fact, if you look at the last minute of the round, Pacquiao's punches seem to be dragging some, he's looking off balance and he's tiring.
    The fight was a seesaw battle from the begining, and after Pacquiao's big round 5, Marquez starts to shift the tide again in his favor at about the minute mark of round 6.

    Take a look here for yourself and tell me different???

    Pacquiao is an unorthodox fighter that makes a lot of mistakes and can simply get away with it because of his speed and power.

    Lol....."dissected"......interesting perception. Like I Said before.....Juan was getting punished and Pac was still controlling the round even at the end. Juan just caught Pac closing in at the very end of the round with a beautiful counter.....and he was losing the round BAD. He was off balance towards the end due to being overly aggressive based on the early success in thessame round..

    You're honestly going to watch the last two minutes on the link I provided and tell me Pacquiao won those two minutes?

    pacman is great at being pacman. he's not as young now so he's not as good now. but we can say that about all the fighters over 35, face it boxing is a young man sport. not to many fighter will fight past 40 and if they do they aint worth a damn. i see pacman a little more then a slugger or swamer, but he's like the best at it in his prime. he reminds me of like the tasmanian devil in the boxing ring in his prime. now hes like an older one.

    That clip showed both getting in single shots....Pac was dominating the round but where the video picked up showed Juan having much better success evading shots that were causing a lot of damage earlier in that same round.

    You honestly want to say that was Juan dissecting Manny?

    Go back and re-read my posts and I clearly said that Marquez turned the tide one minute into the round and that he clearly was winning the last 2 minutes of it.
    Though it was close, I never said Marquez was winning the round if you include the first minute, but the fact that Marquez was evading Pacquiao's shots, and landing his own shots with authority, clearly tells me that at the time of the KO punch, Pacquiao was not going in for the kill.

    How is Pacquiao going in for the kill when he's getting hammered with that right hand those last two minutes?

    The last two minutes of the round, the momentum shift to Marquez and it was he who was actually laying the hurt on Pacquiao, not the other way around.

    Yes, the best 1 dimensional boxer in the world pnd for pnd. The knockdown king cannot seem to put away his opponents but who can? Pacquiao hates counter punchers with movement yet he beats them as well apart from Marquez the rest he whooped.

    He is not slick so the style is not for the purist.

    Lmao at all these people who gives out their opinion and considers it fact.

    Pacquiao must be really unique to be one dimensional and be fighter of the decade and at the same time the one that is considered the best ever ( tbe ) has been avoiding a fight for 8yrs now.
