    While 2 may have displayed more skill, 4 is up there with Hagler/Hearns in my opinion.

    In order of best fight. I, II, IV, III.

    The first one is the best. Marquez came up with one of the all time greatest combebacks in boxing history. Numerous bombs landed on both fighters. Just vicious shots, non stop action, great aggression, great countering. From the opening bell just an incredible fight.

    Pacquiao back then in his prime was just so ****ing fast. I mean fast man. Fast, fast, fast. And very powerful as well. It was great to see the ultimate aggressor try and overwhelm the master counter puncher. And then watch Marquez try and tame the beast.

    IV was one of the greatest ****ing fights of all time. Top 3.

    4 by far. Pac knocked down, Marque down, Marquez on the verge of getting KTFO, Pac KTFO. You can't write that.

    I, II and IV were all good. III was the only mediocre fight in whole series.

    4..

    Greatest fight of all time.

    Pac got dropped for the first time.
    He drops Marquez, split his nose open.
    Marquez face was a bloody mess.
    Pac hurts him again.
    Marquez backs up on shaky legs, playing possum?
    Then land a monster right straight. Pac falls face first on the mat.

    OVER.

    PAC ASLEEP...

    Awesome fight.

    1 for one of GOAT comebacks. Manny was utterly Lacyed after blatantly punching Juan on the ground

    2 for ridiculous technical speed mastery

    3 was a disgusting robbery

    4 was a brutal showcase of sweet revenge

    412 in any order you chose

    Picked 4 because I thought the it was an amazing conclusion to their rivalry but they were all great especially 1 and 2.
