I'll throw in my two cents on the Pacquiao vs Marquez fights.
I've watched the first fight approximately 6 times. I had Pacquiao winning once, Marquez winning once, and the rest of the time a draw. The second fight, I still score the same after having seen it three times, I have Pac winning by one point. The fact of the matter was, it was such an evenly fought match. Marquez had clearly won some rounds, also Pacquiao as well, but there were a couple of rounds that EASILY could've gone either way.
In regards to the Diaz fight in his all-time performances, the ones that stick out in my mind
Equally great performances between:
-Pacquiao vs Ledwaba: Having only trained for two weeks prior to the fight and COMPLETELY BATTERED a world champion sure was a thing of beauty. Also was his first HBO fight. With those things in mind, not exactly a recipe for success but he did somehow pull it off.
Pacquiao vs Diaz: Hopefully I remember the specifics of the fight, being that I was BLASTED before the fight started. Manny fought perfectly! He fought well being backed up, came forward, flurried, then got out of there, also countering with ease. Given Diaz isn't exactly all the skilled, I've never seen Manny fight such a calculated, disciplined fight. I'm used to seeing him press the action.
-Pacquiao vs Morales III: He was furious the whole way through and threw punches with incredible speed and power.
By far his best performance:
-Pacquiao vs Barrera I: He just completely applied the pressure and never let up. A perfect performance for his first big fight.
