    this is one of the few boxing matches which i rate a perfect 5 stars out of 5.

    For both fighters this fight meant everything..for Marquez it was a last chance at redemption...while for Pacquaio defeat meant that his chance of fighting p4p king Floyd Mayweather jr were over.

    This fight had everything there was it could be listed as a great technical fight while also as a slugfest(especially round 3 and 4)..and no-one saw the end coming..with Pacquiao knocked out cold.
    This fight's will be listed to other great fights such as Holyfeild-Bowe 1,Gatti-Ward 3 and Corrales-Castillo 1.

    Q)how much would you rate this fight out of 5?

    5 out of 5

    Best fight in a good few years I'd agree maybe since Corrales-Castillo. Although Vazquez-Marquez II runs it close.

    Was a great fight. There's been quite a few awesome performances though.
    What Rigondeaux did not long ago was just as iconic imo.

    Definitely, it had a bit of everything. Lot's of feinting and skill displayed, both men took punishment, lots of surprises (Pac's speed and mobility, JMM's knockdown), lot's of suspense at multiple moments, insane finish, and justice for the wronged party.

    Maybe both man can make equally exciting fights fighting other fighters? They're not likely to go toe-to-toe right away again.

    Hasn't been a fight with this much emotion for a long time. Any of you go look up reaction videos of people in the Phillippines and in Mexico? People crying and cheering like crazy. I mean this was like nation vs. nation, not just two boxers in the ring. It was something beautiful, especially seeing mi pais, Mexico, with its hands raised in the air in triumph.

    Yes. FOTY between two legends in a long rivalry, capped off with an all time great KO.
