I seriously think the fourth is on the same level as Hagler/Hearns, so much skill level displayed as well as a shocking end. Just brilliant. The first fight was also fight of the year in my opinion.

Fight #1

They're all pretty terrific. If I had to pick one I'd pick #4

But it's a very close call as the first fight was also fantastic.

I think the 4th was better than Hagler-Hearns, which in my view is overrated. When I first watched it I was surprised by how in control Hagler was for all but a minute or so; there were no major momentum shifts from one to the other, and Hearns's legs were gone very quickly.

1st Pac-JMM fight was excellent too, and thank goodness the ref didnt stop it in round one

1

No4 for me followed by 1

I actually think (2) gets under-rated a little. it hasn't got the drama of (1)/(4), with the knockdowns, but its a much much tougher fight than (3), and much more competitive than (1) in terms of them swapping rounds pretty much throughout.

i think 2 is the fight where they are mutually closest to their respective peaks, and it shows in the skill levels displayed

sure, (4) is probably a better fight because of the drama and knockdowns but for a tough-but-technical two-way masterclass you'll have to go a long way to beat (2), its in that DLH-Mosley (1), Toney-McCallum (1)- type league, of two p4p-level guys taking each other to their technical limits.

show (2) some love people its an amazing fight in its own right

I'm surprised how many votes 4 gets unless people are Marquez fans. Or anti Pacquaio

Im not, they traded knockdowns and fierce exchanges, Marquez knocked down, Pac coming on and getting wobbled, then the crushing finish, it was the most action-packed minute-for-minute of all their fights IMO

Fair response. Think particularly the first fight was full of action and for 12 rounds. The earlier fights were at a more natural weight as well

aye but marquez quite comfortably outboxes Pac for several of those rounds which made the fight overall less competitive for my money

Agree!

Being a big Marquez fan and for lack of better word anti-Pacquiao, #4 is clearly my favorite. I thought Marquez deserved to win atleast 2 of their first 3 fights and for him to finally get that definitive win their trilogy so badly needed was awesome and probably one of my favorite moments in all of boxing. Not to mention up to that point it was also a great back and forth fight. Then it seemed like Pacquiao was starting to take control and even looked like he might get the knock out himself. With Pacquiao on the attack and looking for the KO, he walked into a perfect right hand. It was beautiful watching Pacquiao face plant into the canvas.

People called it a lucky punch.. They obviously didn't pay much attention to their 3 previous fights. Marquez owned Pacquiao with counter right hands, had even stunned Pacquiao in Previous fights with the exact same punch, set up the exact same way. Not to mention, how many times did Marquez face adversity against Pacquiao only to climb his way back into their fights and take control? It was the perfect ending to one of the greatest trilogies the sport has ever seen.

- For lack of a better analogy, don't know if Nate Sr busted out of his overalls in pride over Jr or was sorry for the big mess he made, but regardless, above sentiments make you the poster boy for everything that is wrong about boxing and fans.

Marquez was never in control of any portion of the quadrilogy for more than a couple of rounds. It was a lucky punch in the 4th fight after Pac made what is called a foot fault in tennis when he overstepped onto Marquez lead foot while moving in for the kill. Immediately all momentum was redirected to Pac's left leaving him slumped off balance and unprotected just as Marquez launched. Not even a clean punch but 90% on Pac neck below the ear, but the conditions were perfect for a KO for the ages and the first decent win for Marquez after 4 tries and a half dozen ignominious Knockdowns. More importantly, he's still ducking the 5th fight for big money like he did the 2, 3, and 4 before wily Arum roped him in. He turned down the immediate rematch of the first bout and a career high purse of $800,000 to fly off to Indonesia and be shutdown by a master boxer in Chris John for a reputed $25,000, and Marquez claims to be an accountant? Perfect accountant for you I'd guess.

You've expressed your animosity toward Pac who only rejuvenated worldwide interest in boxing to unprecedented levels. Near doubled Marquez's career earnings and added some $200 Millions to TUEs earnings, near double his finances. Fought, Beat, and Knocked Out more P4P ranked fighters in history and ain't nobody even close and didn't need no multiple retirements, instead holding a national congressional office for the last 7 years, now who can ever top that? That you get so dewy eyed over proven drug cheats TUE, 49-0, who has never taken an Olympic drug test in his thug life that has seen him squirreled away in Vegas for half his career using his personal refs, judges, and drug testers to orchestrate his bogus record. Managed and promoted drug cheats like 30x testosterone Micky Bey caught with standard Vegas post fight test. Then the specter of BALCO Meme Heredia trained Marquez who need to two fights and 2 years on the juice to finally tame Pac, both illicit recidivists pretty much defining your distinct lack of honor and integrity to not only the fair rules of boxing but to life in general.

talks about BALCO and drug cheats

climbs up Pacquaio's butt like its a sleeping bag

Seeing Pacquiao face down on the canvas put a smile on my face.

The first one, such an amazing event watching a guy come back like that.

The 4th fight is the greatest fight i've ever seen.

Your post doesn't even deserve a response, debating your dumbass point of view. You're all kinds of stupid. The irony is strong on this one.
