marquez did win the second time... he could have went on and never faced him regardless if they siad it was close.Mayweather: I Had To Face Marquez Once, Not 4 Times
Posted by: Boxing Clever on 3/12/2015
Floyd Mayweather has declared his bout with Manny Pacquiao on May 2 as "the biggest fight in boxing history". Mayweather and Pacquiao went head to head for the first and only time prior to their mouthwatering Las Vegas super-fight at a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
And, with the contest clearly so easy to sell to an expectant worldwide audience there will be no pre-fight press tour - with the fighters not expected to meet again until the usual fight week preparations.
Mayweather, who will take a proud 47-fight unbeaten record into the ring, said - "May 2 is when the world stops - it's Mayweather v Pacquiao, it's the biggest fight in boxing history. This is a fight that the world can't miss. I'm in the gym working and dedicating myself to the sport because I have never wanted to win a fight so bad in my life. May 2 is the fight of the century. It's all about the best fighting the best and Pacquiao is one of the best fighters of this era."
Some believe Mayweather has picked the right time to face Pacquiao after appearing reluctant in recent years primarily over drug-testing procedures.
The Filipino's aura of invincibility was shattered when he was smashed to a sixth round knockout defeat by Juan Manuel Marquez in December 2012, although he has since rebounded with three straight wins.
“I look at this fight as just another fight. I’ve faced Marquez before, he’s faced Marquez four times. If I didn’t get the job done right the first time, I would have come back around and got it done right the second time. I haven’t had to go to number three and number four but some fighters have to. Pacquiao is a solid competitor, he’s tough and ambitious. But one thing I do know – in any sport, if you’ve lost before then losing is in your mind," Mayweather stated on the red carpet.

Readers vote Pacquiao-Marquez III the “Robbery of the Year” for 2011

There were worse decisions than Manny Pacquiao’s majority decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in 2011, but none were as high-profile as their third bout.
The result of Pacquiao-Marquez III was seen as the “Robbery of the Year” by 43 percent of the fans who voted in this year’s RingTV.com readers’ choice year-end award poll. Other bad decisions of 2011 that received votes included Paul Williams-Erislandy Lara (32.1 percent), Robert Helenius-Dereck Chisora (9.8), Devon Alexander-Lucas Matthysse (8.9) and Felix Sturm-Matthew Macklin (6.3).
However, few (if any) controversial verdicts evoked the outrage that the Marquez’s heart-breaking loss did.
The impassioned outcry was not surprising. Pacquiao and Marquez both have diehard national followings and their rivaly is among the sport’s most heated of the past 20 years.
Marquez clearly outclassed Pacquiao when they first fought as featherweights in 2004, but he had to settle for a split-draw because the explosive Filipino scored three first-round knockdowns.
Had Pacquiao not scored a third-round knockdown in their hotly contested rematch, fought for Marquez’s 130-pound title in 2008, they would have battled to another draw. Instead, Pacquiao won a split decision.
Marquez (53-6-1, 39 knockouts) not only avoided being knocked down in their third match on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, the 38-year-old veteran fought more effectively than he did in their two previous bouts.
His masterful exhibition of aggressive counter punching shocked and awed most observers, but it wasn’t enough to sway the official judges, who scored the bout 116-112, 115-113 and 114-114 for Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KOs), obviously crediting the huge favorite’s greater activity.
Press row disagreed with the official verdict. In a poll of 20 ringside boxing writers conducted by Golden Boy Promotions publicist Bill Caplan, 12 thought that Marquez won the bout, seven scored it a draw, while only one had it for Pacquiao (by one point).
Retired veteran judge Chuck Giampa, who scored the bout 116-112 for Marquez, stated that “Marquez controlled the majority of rounds with effective aggression AND ring generalship,” in his You Be the Judge column in the February issue of THE RING.
“I believe (Harold) Lederman (HBO’s unofficial judge commentator who scored the bout 116-112 for Pacquiao) and the three judges did not give Marquez enough credit for his effecive counter punching. As per the rules, a fighter should be given credit for effective aggression whether moving forward, backward, sideways, against the ropes or counter punching.”
That did not happen on Nov. 12 in the eyes of most fans, many of whom counted Marquez out, believing that the reigning RING lightweight champ would not be effective fighting at the 144-pound catchweight for the third bout.
However, although Marquez is officially 0-1-2 against Pacquiao, the Mexican legend scored a couple moral victories over his fellow hall-of-fame bound rival with his unexpected strong showing.
Pacquiao was dropped from the No. 1 spot on the pound-for-pound rankings of both Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.com and replaced by Floyd Mayweather, who scored a one-sided decision over Marquez in 2009.
And while Pacquiao retained his WBO welterweight title on Nov. 12, he lost something that night that he carried into every bout that he won since his rematch with Marquez. The moment the decision was announced, Pacquiao was no longer the senitmental favorite among general fans.
That status clearly belonged to Marquez.
