Who was the closest to ever stop Marquez?

Who is to say Mayweather wouldn't have got ko'd trying to ko marquez... similar to what happened to pacman

 

First fight with Pacquiao.

 

It's all hypothetical but he may have been on his way to a TKO loss if his KO6 punch hadn't landed in Pac 4, as he had a bloody nose, concussion and had suffered one knockdown. Also in the first round of the 1st Pac fight after being down 3 times, if he had been knocked down one more time or if there was more time left in the round, the ref may have thought to stop it, although he wasn't hurt too much. I don't think he was close to being KO'd by Mayweather to be honest.

 

Katsidis hurt him bad. iirc, I think even JMM admitted it

 

Pacquiao 1 sounds right to me. A different, more cautious ref (re: Froch-Groves) might have actually stopped the fight after the third knockdown and it would have gotten some grumbles, but little outrage.

That was probably the closest of the fights I've seen

 

PAC 1 and 4.

Pacquiao had legit 1 punch pop it would have been over.

 

pacquaio blitz marquez in round 1 first fight most refs would of stopped it

 

marquez was fat and bloated in mayweather fight he also said mayweather hits like a girl

 

You mean the fight when Marquez came up from 135 to a weight he had NEVER fought at and Mayweather didn't even make the weight?
Get real, *****. :rofl

 

If the 3 knockdown rule was in effect, the first Pac fight.

Other than that, he's never came close to being stopped. This is just Mayweather hugging, and a bizarre way to go about it. The man has enough real achievements as is.

 

He was on his way out in Pac #4.

 

He was def hurt in the last Pacqiao fight and no wonder he doesnt want any more. I remember that he was also hurt against Barrera even though he won that fight quite clearly.

 

Pacman almost had him twice. Funny how close he was in the 1st fight, history would be so differnt.
