    Doesn't seem so accurate when fighting Juan Manuel Marquez.Marquez effortlessly ducked Pacquiao's eleven punch combination in their 3rd fight.

    Ya but I think by the third fight Marquez had his number..just couldnt finish Pacquiao when he did have him hurt..

    By the 3rd round of their first fight he had Pac's number

    Then perhaps it wasnt wise for Pac to fight him a 3rd time...

    IMO he got a decision he didn't deserve...so it didn't really hurt him either way. I scored a draw (first one) and 2 JMM wins. I always liked Marquez but it was the middle of the first fight where I became a fan.

    Would you really score the first fight a draw?

    I scored it 114-113 for Manny if my memory is right, but it was indeed a close fight. However, corect me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of (if not all of them) modern fights using the 3 knockdowns rule? Why was this fight different?

    What bell? I was talking about the 3 knockdowns rule, where if a fighter is knocked down 3 times on a single round, he loses by TKO.
