It’s funny that PAC never seemed to be anywhere near his prime the 4 times he fought Marquez over 8 years. All off nights I guess.

JMM was his nemesis and I had him beating Pac Man every time they fought. Marquez counter punched the hell out of Manny.

Hmmm, counter punching.. I wonder if there was anyone else even better at that who pac didn’t fight during his prime... will have to think about that for a while..

I haven’t watched any of their fights in ages, remember thinking pac getting the nod in the second fight was fine though. All classics really.

Manny seemed clueless against JMM who had him figured. That right cross was always landing on Manny's head. Bet he wished he stopped him in the first round the first time he met him.

The second and third fights were what I feel people consider the beginning and end of his prime. He was on a tear coming into the third fight. Everybody thought that Pacquiao had improved so much because he beat bigger guys. JMM was small and wouldn’t be able to handle Pacquiao at that point of his career. Reality hit though and we realized that Pacquiao hadn’t progressed as much as everybody thought. He was just an anomaly that did better against bigger fighters.

I had JMM winning every fight. First and third were obvious JMM wins while the second was extremely close. I had JMM by a point, but it could have gone either way.
