    There's only 2 boxers that can beat Pac. Morales and Marquez and apparently these 2 are ATG's. He lost to the best and Mexicans.

    So you know it's not easy fightng a Mexican. Everyone else get's spanked!!

    2-14-1 against team mexico
     
  4. Reach is a huge advantage in boxing, he also had weight and height. But you are entitled to your opinion about it being average. But Pacquiao still managed to **** up Marg with speed and movement and withstand the body punches from a much bigger man.

    Not really. I thought JMM had already won 2/3 prior. It was more vindication than anything. Once the playing field was even, the more skilled boxer won.

    Didn't change much. It just makes me wonder who his opponents will fight now that they know he was knocked out like that. When Duran was stopped by Hearns in 1984, Tommy had to hit Duran with many right hands to knock him out, so people knew that Duran still had a great chin, and that it was Tommy which made that happen. With Manny it was one punch completely. Guys are going to be aiming for his chin in a way they never did.

    Stayed the same. Pacman looked better than ever he was faster in his last fight, but even Pacman at his, best could not defeat Marquez.

    Never had a problem with PAC was just too overrated only because of the hate for Floyd.

    The KO proved to me once and for all that while Manny was being hyped up as a Duran-esque legend, there was another fighter all along, nearly the same size, who was just as great as he was.

    Maybe even better.

    So yes, my opinion of him dropped a little bit. He's still great, but hardly any greater than JMM.

    Marquez hired the best steroid expert on the planet and the top expert on how to cheat on drug tests. His strength trainer admitted it in court, told on his so-called friends in the drug business. Everyone knew it, commentary on HBO about it. It was all over the news, but some think they can hide it? There should be more about this................

    Still one of the greatest fighters of this generation. Unbelievable a former flyweight can conquer the divisions the way he has done. I admire him greatly outside the ring, where he was given nothing except poverty and obligations to take care of his mum and his family at a tender age where we were probably playing with Xboxes. Malnourished, working construction and then training in one of the hardest and lethal sports in his spare time while sending money to his mum, he succeeds because of his will to win.

    Truly an inspiration to anyone who feels discouraged by the trials of life.
