#4. Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III

Manny Pacquiao walked away with a win against Juan Manuel Marquez in the third installment of their trilogy saga in November 2012. In what is a rarity, every round was extremely competitive regardless of who walked into the frame with the edge and momentum.

Although Pacquiao walked away from the fight with yet another win under his belt, the result and his performance were anything but decisive. Pacquiao looked incredibly human. What's more, a faction of fans claimed that Marquez had been robbed of a victory, with Marquez himself leading the way.


#3. Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar Larios

Billed as 'Thrilla in Manilla 2' back in 2006, the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar Larios thoroughly impressed. The former WBC super bantamweight champion moved up two weight classes to butt heads with Manny Pacquiao. However, the size difference, contrary to what one would imagine, was not too much.
