TRUE or FALSE: The challenger should carry the boxing fight to the champion to win convincingly.?

Knowing that there are 3 different people watching the boxing, i just want to know your thoughts if this is true or not if

a. you're a judge of the match

b. you're the challenger

c. you're a boxing fan watching

why?

Update:

@ Daniel this is a general question not just the Pac Marquez fight but if you want to put it that way check this:

Pacquiao = 578 punches connecting 176

Marquez= 436 punches connecting 138

JABS

Pacquiao = 304 jabs connecting 59

Marquez = 182 jabs connecting 38.

POWER PUNCHES

Pacquiao = 274 power punches connecting 117

Marquez = 254 power punches connecting100

Amateur you say?

    It used to be that way. The champ just had to defend his title and the challenger had to be the attacker, and aggressive.

    That went out a long time ago. Judges now decide. You never know now unless there is a knockout.

    ok its obvious that none of you first 3 know anything about boxing. and are pac fans.

    you can win without a knockout. in fact, thats how much boxing matches are won,

    there is something called "counter punching" that allows you to win without being the attacker.

    pac got taken to school today. proof that no matter how good you are, some fighter has your number. styles make fights, and this one was ruined by shitty judges.

    what is this? amateur hour?

    True. You don't win by slacking in the later rounds and backpedalling.
