    Seems that endless discussions and polls concerning Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are ESB posters' favourite subject.

    And why wouldn't it be, as those two great fighters have produced two equally great bouts fighting each other, and boy did we the fans love it.

    This is neither about p4p status, nor about who's the better of the two.

    Most of the times answers on the above subjects are based on popularity and personal preference anyway.

    This thread is about who you like the most!!!
    Vote for your favourite out of those two greats!!!!

    Take your pick!!!

    fighters i currently like:

    1. pacquiao (need i say more? speed, power, work-rate and ever improving skills, truly p4p#1)
    2. cotto (even if he lost, i'm sure he will bounce back bigger and better)
    3. marquez (superb conditioning even at this late stage, undeniable skills, great stamina and underated speed and power)
    4. gamboa (most exciting fighter to watch now, yes even more than pac imo)
    5. vazquez (pure heart and determination)

    Marquez. He's a boxer. I respect Pacquiao as an athlete, warrior, and fighter, but Manny has always primarily been a piston puncher/charger type. That is extremely far removed from my tastes as a boxing fan.

    I respect both fighters and they're clearly the two best fighters in the planet currently. Slight edge goes to Pac because of his power, endurance and exciting style. But you can't be a boxing fan and not appreciate Marquez' skill. Best technical fighter alive.

    If this makes any sense, I really like Manny Pacquiao but I have wanted to see him lose for pretty much every fight. Its a Mexican thing I guess
