Watched the whole fight.
The thing for me was, Pacquiao didn't feel like he was being aggressive enough because he was being cautious of Marquez' counters.
Marquez' arm length also did its job, chipping off AP from a distance. Basically, counter punches + good range reduced Pacquiao's effectiveness and tenacity since he had to be cautious of those counters that could become lucky punches that could knock anybody down including him. If Pacquiao only became more aggressive and brought the fight to Marquez, his victory could've been more acceptable.
