Manny Pacquiao...Zzzzzzz (Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4)
The man everyone was calling the best fighter on the planet got euthanized in his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. This was their 4th meeting in their illustrious careers and, by far, the most eventful. After being snubbed 2 out of 3 times, Marquez finally proved to the world that he was a superior fighter to Manny Pacquiao with a 6th round Street Fighter punch to his chin. This punch shook up the world of boxing. This punch also shook up the internet. The picture of the lifeless body of Manny Pacquiao has spread rather swiftly.
Before this happened, the fight was very entertaining and upbeat. Pacman and Marquez exchanged detrimental blows to each other. Marquez showed his excellent counter-punching skills while Manny showed his usual speed and his flurry of punches. Up until the knockout, it seemed as though Pacquiao was winning the fight. Marquez had been bloodied from the nose and quite possibly could have had the fight stopped. Outside of Marquez's 3 round knockdown of Pacman, Pacman seemed to be controlling this fight. He proved so by answering Marquez's knockdown with a knockdown of his own. After that, it seemed as though Pacman would surely take control of the fight, until....BOOM!
Now that Manny has been put to sleep, a lot of people wonder what is next for Manny. Will Manny go back to being a philanthropist/politicians/actor/singer, or will he continue boxing? I honestly don't believe that this is the end of MAnny Pacquiao's career. I mean...of course he lost his last two fights, but he's still on the top of his game. He beat up on Bradley (but got severely snubbed on the scorecards) and put on a show against Marquez before getting put to sleep like an infant. He's still a top 3 fighter in boxing right now. He should continue fighting and knocking people out to revitalize himself. However, you might as well forget about Pacquiao vs. Mayweather. I'm sorry that it took this long for you all to realize that Pacquiao can't see Mayweather, but now you have your proof. If you ignore Mayweather's combination of head speed, speed, counter-punching, footwork, and reach, we can bring up that fact that Mayweather embarrassed the man that knocked out Pacquiao a few nights ago. Although that may not be the cleanest logic, it counts for something.
All in all, regardless of how Mayweather and Pacquiao match up, we probably will never see the two of them in the ring together because Pacquiao wants to be difficult and lose two consecutive fights. That's childish. Not only won't we see it, but people hardly even want to see it anymore, because they've been exposed to the truth. Bob Arum should have allowed this to happen last year when he had the chance. His pockets would have been very pleased. Unfortunately, the boxing world (nor Manny Pacquiao) is not pleased. Let's hope that Marquez's knockout blow didn't put a dint in the legacy of Manny Pacquiao.
