Thoughts?

I just thought it was a thoroughly entertaining fight, and was glad that it ended decisively and without controversy. We've all had a little fun poking fun at the excuse makers, but seriously... why detract from either of them? It was two great warriors, meeting for a 4th time, giving us boxing fans a good show. There were knockdowns on both sides, and Pac ran into a right hand that would've floored anybody. Marquez is just about 40 years old, and one has to wonder how many more fights he has left, as Father Time comes rather quickly. Pac had been slipping as of late, but I saw a little more fire in him this time than in the Bradley fight. Maybe fighting Marquez had something to do with that.

The fight itself certainly has nothing to do with Mayweather, and much less about Naz . It was Pac and Marquez, going toe-to-toe. You can make a case for Floyd being a common opponent to Marquez, and how he thoroughly dominated Marquez. But that was a Marquez overwhelmed with the weight gain he forced upon himself in order to face the world's top p4p. I don't think anyone is arguing right now about Floyd and Pac, first of all because the fight just became completely pointless... its time passed a couple of years ago.

Pac-Marquez IV was a terrific fight while it lasted, probably surpassing most of our expectations and putting fears of another controversial decision to rest. There's no need for a Pac-Marquez V.
