People act like Manny at that time hadn't been in wars for nearly 20 years. Look at the wars he had with Marquez, Morales, Cotto and Margarito before that fight. The punched that Marquez put Manny to sleep on was lethal post wars. I'm telling you the version of Manny that showed up in the first two fights rights walk through it.
Marquez hit Pacquiao with everything under the sun in the first two fights. 24 rounds of flush bombs. And all he could do was wobble him once. In the 4th fight Manny as dropped the first time with just a decent punch.
Was that the first time Manny had been knocked out?? No... I don't ever see him "walking" through that.
And to say that was just a decent punch is selling it short... That was part of a plan, practiced and executed perfectly.
Manny has never walked through Marquez, Pac got his azz beat regardless of what weight they fought, Marquez has owned Pac through multiple weight classes
Honestly he could have walked through that shot and been ok... But instead he dove into it head first :rofl Seriously though, Manny probably added 1.5x the power by lunging in to hit marquez, if the shot had just hit manny normally he wouldn't have been out cold. Well timed shot by JMM
They teed off on each other for 24 rounds before the wars started adding up. Only one of those guys kept tasting the canvas....
No. Just no. Pac walked through heavy shots from much bigger guys in Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, and Clottey. People fail to see how hard Roidquez was punching since linking up w/ Memo. If you watch IV, you can hear how heavy the shots were. When Pac threw, you didn't hear the same thud. No one at 154 or below would have survived that shot. Roidquez was on the most sophisticated doping program of all time in that fight.
