    The 4th and final fight between 2 ATGs both giving their all in their most bloody, brutal, and brilliant fight. It pretty much had everything you could ask for: skills, heart, knockdowns, a comeback, and a beautiful KO to end it.
    Still can’t believe it’s already been that long. Makes you respect Pacquiao even more for being able to come back from that and still competing at a high level for his age. A fighter that has the heart to pick himself back up from losses, especially from a big KO, is why Pac will always be respected and remembered as a legend.

    I never liked Pac but I had newfound respect for the man after coming back after such a brutal loss.

    It was a great knockout. I am surprised that JMM is the one to knock out him when in my mind he has fought better guys who could have also done this. Styles make fights.

    Loved it. Pacquiao clearly goes down as the greater fighter, but across their series there's no doubt in my mind that Marquez was the better man and it would have been very rough justice indeed if he'd ended it without at least one win.
