Why was Pacquiao so out of position when he was ko'd?

I dont feel it was so much that Pac was out of position. Marquez has the nerve to stand his ground when appropriate, and the talent to punch at the correct time. Its natural human instinct to back up when an opponent advances.. to a degree that needs to be untrained. When you back up against a guy like Pac all you do is create more room for him to punch as his forward progression will be faster than your retreat. Backing up is a fatal mistake against Pac. You either stand your ground, or step to the side.

exactly. Marquez was willing to risk being knocked out to land that punch. Not many guys take that kind of chance.
