To the people who complain about Pacquiao/Marquez decisions. You must take a champ's belt.

    Wtf are you talking about bro. Marquez was the unified FW champ in the first fight and WBC SFW champ in the 2nd.

    Pac was regarded the man in the weight class.

    disagree. That's like saying a sports team can't beat the defending champ by 1 point, it has to be by 3 or more points to be considered a win.

    All it takes it 1 point to win. But why eagerly give points to a challenger who's fighting like a *****? You want to win rounds then throw.

    Pacquiao threw plenty more and landed plenty more too. Marquez is the darling of boxing hipsters. He's the indie fighter of boxing. But classic old school hard punching and aggression is what boxing is all about.

    Good to see you thought Klitschko beat Fury.

    Each round is its own story. And scored as such.

    I would respect someones tally who scored their third fight 118-110 to Marquez more than I would someone who scored it 115-113 to Pacquiao. Because that's how it went down. Marquez (deserved to and should have) won that fight going away.

    How he threw way less, landed way less and was less aggressive. You're the exact type of fan I'm referring to. A boxing hipster. A champion of the lower weight classes and fan of passive aggressive fighters.

    I never scored that fight, but I don't habe a problem with Fury winning. The difference is Pacquiao defended his belts viciously and Wlad did nothing.

    Video will always exist of that fight for anyone to see. Because of so, I'm confident in my statements and views. That said there is always a difference of opinion in this sport more than any other besides maybe gymnastics so disagreement especially when discussing two of the most polarizing fighters of their era is expected. It'll be fun to look back at it in 20 years.

    I had it 1 each with 2 draws. All were close fights bar the 4th so scoring is very objective

    That's a different argument and might apply to ANY match, not just in favor of the champ.
