    Not to take anything away from JMM's fantastic victory with that counter punch from hell, but Pac's chin doesn't seem what it used to be

    In this fight we saw the return of the Manny of old days in several senses, not the lethargic half assed version that fought Bradley or the overly cautious Pac of JMM-Pac III, heck, round 5 was practically a return of Pac Prime!

    This time speed was there, stamina was there, ferocity was there

    BUT chin was not there!

    Yeah, JMM's final counter punch was perfect, it landed flush on the chin, full body weight behind, feet firmly planted, opponent stepping in, the full package, ofc Pac had to go down after taking that, yet I still find incredible that he almost got killed by it, it looked like he wouldn't wake up!

    and what about the first KD? that wasn't a counter and JMM never had that kind of devastating power before. Pac is well known for his sturdy chin yet Marquez made it look like it was made of fragile Khanium

    I cant believe someone can just develop that sort of power during a 4 month training camp and at almost 40yo, it's unreal

    Pac's chin is past its prime, that's the only plausible answer

    Pac from round 5 was the return of Prime Pac in many ways

    sucks for him that his chin was the only thing that didn't return, actually it got worse

    What an amazing match anyway, both fighters deserve all kind of props

    FOTY, ROTY, KOTY etc

    Also His chin wasn't the problem it's he walked straight into a mosnter ight hand counter. Who the **** walks in with their chin like that, he got over condifent to bad for him.

    Yes, that was a perfect counter, the most dangerous kind of punch but Pac has been hit with similar punches from JMM many times in the past and didn't go down, let alone KTFO

    And what about the first KD? that wasn't a counter yet Marquez floored Pac so easily and got him hurt. It was like Marquez was spiritually channeling the power of Pryor or Hearns or something

    I agree , I just can't wrap my head around it. Being caught cold and KO'd is one thing, but knocked down twice? By Marquez of all people? This is Pacquiao were talking about not some chinny tomato can. Pacquiao hasn't come close to being knocked down in like the past decade or so. I've seen Marquez hit him with harder shots in the past and Pac ate them up like candy. I guess chins deteroirate with age, or it's probably all the wars / constant wear and tear Pac has gone through.

    what do you mean marquez of all people? the best counter puncher in the game, ATG, ATG skills... He has a better KO ration then PACQUIAO!

    Marquez is the best person to get KTFO by... sweet sweet sweet.

    Anyone with a prostitute as an avatar seems to be ******ed, ugly and overweight by nature. Pacquiao got caught with a punch he didn't see coming and that was that, it's not the first time it happens in boxing. Hire a crack hooker, release your frustration and hopefully you won't theorize in such ******ed fashion.

    Lol, why so feisty? better idea, why dont you go suck a bag of black dicks like the one of the guy in your avatar ***, that seems right up the ally of anyone with a black homosexual as an avatar :deal

    And while you're at it, explain why Pac got floored so easily the first time, with a punch that wasn't a counter nor was pac stepping in or blind to it

    That might the case

    Manny's everlasting love for brawls its finally showing consequences

    Omg people shut up with Pacquiao is past prime this past prime that. He looked great last night beating Marquez on points half way through the fight. He hasn't been in many wars over the past few years. He's the same fighter he's been for a while.

    Don't believe in anything until Boxing gets some real drug testing going on. Year round blood testing for world championship contenders. Don't be naive, Marquez is clearly on something. Don't be afraid to admit your suspicions either just because he's Marquez and he's the last person you'd imagine to cheat. Peterson was the same way. A lot of more observant people around here tried telling everyone that Marquez doesn't look natural at all before the fight.

    No Pacquiao catapulted himself in to a straight right hand counter timed perfectly by marquez he never saw it coming those shots are what knock you unconscious. i was very suprised to see him dropped early though that one i'll give you
