    They had four battles but by winning the fourth did JMM win the overall war, so to speak?

    You beat someone four times, once by way of KTFO ...you've won the war, yeah.

    Yes. It's arguable he's undefeated against Pacquiao

    This.

    Pacquiao is an excellent fighter and a very entertaining warrior, but extremely overrated.

    It’s crazy that people are still arguing who is better Mayweather or Pacquiao. Floyd schooled both.

    He had 3 close fights with Pac and a stunning KO win to put the exclamation point. I would say that yes JMM did win the "war". But Pac still has the glory over JMM.

    JMM gets a lot of praise for his KO win but I think people should still give credit to Pac for having to overcome a stylistic nightmare 4 times and edging JMM while they were both at their best. Pac still holds wins over JMM, whether you agree with the decisions or not. They were very close fights.

    Marquez won all four, maybe one draw if you want to throw pacquiao a bone

    Yes JMM did, Pac never beat him clearly and got KTFO by him.

    Lets review:

    Pac won 2 (by decision)
    marquez won 1 (by ko)
    1 was scored a draw

    Marquez absoully did not win them all.

    Pac vs marquez is one of the best style matchups I have ever seen. I have huge respect for both fighters.

    The closest Pac ever came to legitimately earning/deserving a victory was the first time, and he lost damn near every round after making JMM dribble like a basketball in the opener.
