Which fight do you think was better. I go with Marquez/Pacquiao, more competitive even though there was no definitive winner. Though Morales turning southpaw was epic.
i like the morales vs pac 1..the fight is close but clear and the right man won.. the marquez vs pac 1 didnt and 1 of te judges **** up the scorecards and pac won that fight its close but its clear that manny won the fight
Morales schooled PAC but I like that fight better PAC had a 4 point lead against hmm after the 1st round and still lost lol
Both were great, great fights! Morales had more significance for me because he was looked at as an aging warrior who wasn't favored to win the fight and put on one of his better performances of his career, while boxing and beating Manny at his own game! JMM though older was more fresher and more preserved because of his style of being a boxer/puncher. He relied heavily on his counter punching ability, and it paid off big time against the aggression of Pac. For him to be knocked down 3 times in the first, and come back the way he did was excellent and set the tone for one of the best, most entertaining rivalries of any era. Both were great memorable first fights, but being I like Morales better, I'd go with Morales-pacquaio I!
morales vs pac what a fight round 7 was suicidal pac despite being blind in one eye with blood trickling down he fought on never gave up
despite Pac not being able to see in one eye because of blooding trickling down he nearly knocked out morales
Two tremendous fights. The first one with JMM had the drama of Marquez recovering from that opening round and mounting a comeback but there was more sustained action in the Morales fight. The Marquez fight was closer (I had it a draw) but it didn't have the bell-to-bell brilliance of Pac-Morales (and the 12th round was just vintage Erik).
