Well first off let me say this fight was a one man show, FMJ spanked Marquez. This fight was great, and I give props to Marquez he would not fall he has tremendous heart in the ring. Now eyes are pointing to Pacquiao, will we see a fight from these two terrific boxers? Hopefully, this would be a great pound for pound fight.
