    I wouldn't say that Marquez is better than Pacquiao. I think in some ways he's better in other's he's worse. Overall, he's not quite as good, but he's not very far off either. People think the knockout was definitive, but it could just as easily have gone the other way that night. That's what happens when great fighters fight a series. Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano knocked each other out. Rafael Marquez and Izrael Vazquez knocked each other out. Corrales and Castillo both knocked each other out. Judging from the first knockout would give a false idea in these instances. The truth is that both guys were near enough in ability that it was almost a toss up which would win and either one could knock the other out.

    Pacquiao is Marquez and Morales 1 biyotch! Those 2 legends can easily beat Packito. Unlike you know who, the ducker who is making excuses.But I believe he can beat Packito too.Apparently he is scared for his health. His nose might get busted open and he would rather be a rich coward. So let him be!!

    There's no actual proof that Pac is ducking PBF all are just rumors, heresay and speculation unlike Floyd's video stating that he doesn't want to fight Pac.

    I think Marquez won 3 of the 4 fights. But, if you always trust the judges scores instead of what you see with your own eyes then yes, it's 2-1-1 in favor of Pac. And if that is the case, Bradley and Pac are due for a rubber match. Marquez has nothing else to prove in boxing, let alone against Pac.

    Marquez is the better boxer (better ring IQ, better boxing skills). But, he's had to do more with less athletic skill. Pac is more talented, a superior athlete, and his style has translated better in a P4P sense, with much success at the higher weights. So, he will rank higher.

    I agree with much of this. But, Pac has not proven he can knock Marquez out. We do know Pac can knock him down. Other people have put him down too, though. Marquez does not stay down, though. His recuperative abilities and his heart are second to none. Of course, most thought he was on his way to being stopped in the 4th fight. Perhaps. But, he did not come to box carefully that night. He came for the KO...so the judges couldn't take it away from him again. And, amazingly, he walked Pac right into that counter. There's an element of luck in that, but, a whole lot more skill, experience and ring intelligence. Both are great fighters. Pac is better in terms of what he's been able to accomplish. H2H Marquez is better, though.
