To Hamed's credit, he did offer Marquez a fight in the summer of 2000, but Marquez declined. Marquez did end up getting a title shot against Freddie Norwood. Marquez was knocked down in the fight, but himself scored a knockdown on Norwood. Most experts felt that Marquez won a close fight, but was robbed. It took Juan Manuel Marquez another four years, to get a second title shot, which came against Manuel Medina, with him stop-ping the game veteran in the later rounds. Marquez made a few minor defenses plus unifying the WBA and IBF titles, before receiving an offer to fight Manny Pacquiao in May of 2004. In a thrilling Fight of the Year candidate, Marquez was knocked down three times in the first round, but gamely fought back to win many of the remaining rounds. Fans hotly debate, who deserved the win, but the official result was a draw.
