both improved their game because they fought and learned from each other imo... top two best pound for pound...
I'm glad someone made this thread. Good on you mate. It's time we all saluted two of the very best fighters of this era. :happy
They are both ridiculously talented fighters. Oddly enough, as they've gotten better over the last few years...their styles have gotten similar. Pacquiao has become more defensive-savvy and more accurate a boxer puncher with new weapons, and Juan Manuel Marquez has stepped up his offense as well. They are both awesome boxer puncher. Manny is probably a bit better a puncher while Marquez is the better counterpuncher.
Every time they fight, even against other fighters, the world tunes in. doesn't matter who you think is #1 or 2.
