Marquez - Pacquiao was a GREAT fight. A truly GREAT fight. But it did not came even close to the Vazquez-Marquez III drama! Far from that! More fame, more money, more die hard fans, but the fight was far away from the great 3rd meeting of the SBWs... Vazquez-Marquez was THAT good... What a 2008 so far...
Marquez/Vazquez hands down...so far! JMM/Pac was good but once the heat of the momemt discipates and objectivity sets in, Izzy/Rafa 3 is a better FOTY candidate!
That might be a candidate for upset of the year and a great performance by Campbell but it doesn't come close to the others in terms of drama, action, excitement and skill content!
Doesn't even come close? Are you sure? Round 2 Marquez hurts Pac pretty badly, has his legs buckling. Round 3 Pac drops Marquez, who then regains his composure to completely dominate Pac in Round 8, who then comes back and badly hurts Marquez in round 10, who for me wins Round 12 to get the victory. Unbelievable fight.
