Juan Manuel Marquez's Right Hand Forces Backward Diving Motion: GIF Spotlight

In July of 2011, after 2010's thrilling war against Michael Katsidis, Mexican luminary Juan Manuel Marquez tried a second time to go north of 135 pounds, only this time it wasn't against Floyd Mayweather Junior. This time it was against 2004 Olympian Likar Ramos. It was also a bit of a safety pick, on paper, before getting another crack at Manny Pacquiao, who was a strong favorite to beat Marquez. The result?



The Colombian Olympian was unceremoniously used, abused and destroyed in the first round. It was so abrupt that Ramos, obviously being a competent professional, was accused of taking a dive. Personally, I think a lot of people "take a dive" when someone knocks the utter bejabbers out of them. They just don't do it on purpose. It's amazing how unpurposeful an alleged dive can be when Juan Manuel Marquez is in the ring with you, and his right hand wants you to imitate Matthew McConaughey at the pool. Also, if it were a dive, he way oversold it. He was on that canvas for quite some time. It was a great shot. Marquez would, of course, go on to lose yet another controversial decision to Manny Pacquiao, then match him a fourth time and put him to sleep like he was Likar Ramos, with another big right hand. I don't know of anyone who accused Pacquiao of taking a dive, however.
