    I gave him 3 or 4 rounds tops but with the KD the scores might have been a little closer but no way did Pac win

    YouTube is your friend. It is most definitely found there as I watched it the other day.

    Not that interesting of a fight, maybe one for the purists. Marquez definitely won, but it was pretty close and John showed he's a good fighter.

    He didn't and he isn't I'm afraid.

    I may have scored the fights for Marquez myself but that doesn't matter. The results in the record books matter. And Marquez has had 2 stabs at Manny and hasn't won.

    Add to that Pacman's weight jumping feats and he has to get the nod IMO

    It's tight though, I'll give you that

    Diaz would have been, if he was ranked highly in the first place. A win over Pacquiao would have put him around 7-10, but he was coming from about 30-40. Hatton, on the other hand, is ranked highly as it is, probably 12th, so a win for him would put him in the top 3 at least. Considering how unbeatable Pacquiao has looked recently, maybe Hatton would go top.

    I wouldn't have had Diaz anywhere near the top 10.

    All it would have proven for me was that Pacquiao shouldn't have been at 135.

    Its only GBP's who think P4P number 1 is a title that can be won.

    Hatton will not be p4p number ne if he beats Pac, I see no reason to put him above either Marquez or Hopkins.
