Well. We knew he was a great counter puncher and trained for this but its good to see footage to back it up..
Come on, all the saddos that said it was a lucky punch speak up now or the mods will name you.

I don't think many people said it was a lucky punch, it's pretty clear that Marquez threw it and knew exactly where it was going. It's not like it was a clubbing punch thrown with the hope of hitting the boxer somewhere like Oliver Mcall did to Lennox Lewis for instance.
I was one, add in all the variables
1. He looked like he was going to get knocked out at anypoint.
2. When has Marquez ever knocked anyone out cold, he has never been a fighter with great punching power on any level.
3. Pac has fought fighters who have hit harder and he was able to take there punches just fine, it had been a while since he had even been down, this defied the odds.
Maybe Marquez timed him perfectly, but to knock him out cold after looking all but defeated was luck.

I disagree.
Your making marquez win look bad which is wrong.
Whether your a die hard pac fan or not accept they have had 3 extremely close fights and this particular time 40 year old lightweight marquez was going to end the show.
All the advantages were with pac for all 4 fights but the punch you never see IS the perfect punch.
Get over it.

In football when someone throws a hail marry in the end zone and its caught is it luck or not because the pass is thrown to be caught, in basketball when a player shoots from the other end of the court and makes the shot is it luck or not since he intended for it to go in, since you don't like to use the word luck lets replace it with miracle.

Are they throwing Hail Mary's all 4 downs? Are they taking half court shots every single possession? No there not. Marquez said before the fight he was gonna go for the knock out. And from the first round you can see he was going for it. Fuck getting robbed. He was gonna knock him out this time. And he did.

Said Juan Diaz would finish the fight on his back. Diaz finished the fight on his back. Said he would be the first to stop Casamayor. He became the first to stop Casamayor. Said Katsidis wouldn't go 12 rounds. Katsidis didn't go 12 rounds. Said he was tired of getting robbed and would knock out Pacquiao. He knocked out Pacquiao. It's not luck. It's greatness.

Absofuckinglutely! You train your whole boxing life to hit someone else, you hit or you miss and this time Marquez finally hit! There is no luck in boxing, hitting your opponent is the whole point. The real skill is trying not to get hit, Marquez landed a shot that he has trained his whole life to do. He trained, he fought, he hit and he won.
