News flash!
Manny ?The Destroyer? Pacquiao knocks-out fading Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez in the sixth round Saturday night.
That?s how the story should have gone, if you listened to boxing experts and fans across the globe.
Instead Marquez fought valiantly, may have won in the eyes of many, and has likely pushed Pacquiao into a highly anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather.
If you watched Pacquiao?s Saturday night performance in a vacuum void of expectation and bias, Manny did a good job against a fellow future Hall of Famer.
Pacquiao fought Marquez in a closely contested fight, against a main equal in boxing abilities.
Unfortunately for Pacquiao, his fight did not take place in a vacuum and there were high expectations of Pacquiao, who has carved a path of destruction over the last several years.
