I notice in other rounds he is still trying to get that jab working, but once that buzz saw assault unleashes, what do you do? I think also at the time everyone thought Cotto was the bigger stronger man and maybe Cotto thought he could land something to hurt Manny. Manny was just so overwhelming and fast then, especially against the men in the higher weights. Marquez had obviously dealt with speedier fighters a lot and was fundamentally good, but even in fight 4 Manny was finally starting to just bust him up before getting careless. Marquez was not built for JWW and beyond.
Manny got careless..that’s why Marquez won..or was it a lucky punch?

Manny was beating him up but he still got sparked out..

Floyd is 2 years older than Pac and is still getting blamed for this pathetic and boring fight not happening 5 years previous..if it was 5 years earlier Pac would have got knocked out in the later rounds..he can’t deal with smart fighters.

Pac needs a slower fighter to look amazing against so guys like Master and a Gandalf can cream their pants..

Pac just beat a prime Thurman and I believe should fight Spence or Crawford next..if he beats either of those two he will still be a great fighter with a great resume but a fighter that would never beat Floyd Mayweather.

In slow motion..there is nothing sweeter..
