    ...Fun fight, much?

    What do you think, fellas? Two monster-hitters, a little on the chinny side, with great offense & a tonne of heart.

    Pacquiao knocks Marquez out cold by about the 5th round of a war

    I don't think it's fair at all to say Pacquiao was chinny, even down at 122.

    Marquez, yes.

    I think Pacquiao would've crushed him.

    Manny would demolish him. The only think Rafael has over his brother is one punch power but i don't think it would matter in this one.

    agreed

    Rafael has a lot of heart and would brawl as best as he could, but he'd just be hopelessly outgunned here... Pacquaio was one of the hardest punchers I've ever seen at 122

    At the same time, it's not like Raffy was/is a face-first brawler. The man can box. In fact, there was a time when a lot of people believed he was a more complete fighter than his brother. JMM has since surpassed him in that regard, of course. Still, there isn't a huge gap on whether Raffy was more puncher-boxer than boxer-puncher.

    I agree that Pacquiao is too much for him in this fight, but don't see it being as one-sided as others.
