    Even though he got the wrong end of one of the worst decisions in recent memory, he took it with class and respect. He didn't march out of the ring in protest, he didn't whine and complain, he stayed in the ring, took the interview with Bradley, congratulated him, told Max Kellerman that he believes he won 100% but respects the judges. Pacquiao doesn't go on to accuse anyone of conspiracy or corruption. He carries himself with dignity and shows love and compassion to everyone involved. I don't see any other fighters reacting the same way after a robbery like this.
    I've always respected the man, but this kind of gesture makes me respect him even more. Really, how can anyone hate the guy?

    He thinks the decision was "god's will." No respect deserved for that.

    i think he can live with this because of how many people are siding with him. this will not affect him mentally at all. what for? there were times bradley looked discouraged and frustrated. it's one of those situations i'm right and their wrong so why lose sleep. but i agree he's an absolute class act in the way he's handling this situation. right now my current favorite fighters are froch, bute, jmm and pac. froch for his no excuse loss to ward, and bute also just had no excuse, and pac as well. well pac didn't need an excuse. i don't know why but i was extremely touched when pac was on the spanish espn tv and as the interview was wrapping up pac said may i ask juan a question? who did you think won the fight tonight? and marquez said i had you winning by four points. i found that to be an extremely special moment, two warriors sharing the greatest respect and admiration for each other.

    I'm convinced even more that his heart ain't in the game any more. Any other fighter who gave a **** would have been fuming. Pac, however, didn't give a toss. He's a half-retired fighter, it seems.

    He bitches when he was on the receiving end of a gift decision but doesn't speak up when he gets robbed.

    I love Manny but hes not very bright, and can't stop people from taking advantage of him out of the ring. Hes hardly Bernard Hopkins outside of the ring.

    you think hes upset about the "loss"? good chance he knew all along about it. hes going to get as much if not more in the rematch.

    honestly, its his loyalty to piece of **** arum, that helped causes this mess. but hey, everybody is getting paid, so its all good.

    I agree. I dont consider my self a Pac fan by any means but I really fell for him after the decision. And they way he received it was very classy. Didnt *****, didnt accuse anyone. Just showed respect to Bradley while 100% knowing he won the fight. Respect to the guy!

    He knows that the people believe he won. SD decisions suck anyway.

    He is.


    But he fears Pac. Has feared him for years.

    :deal
     
  15. His post fight interviews made me respect him even more. Even Juan Marquez was dumbfounded by Pacquiao's seemingly calm response. Fact

    This robbery made only Pacquiao's stock rise in unfathomable proportions! Pacquiao is even trending in Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine!!!

    This robbery was better for Pac's stock than if he was declared a winner in an all too familiar scenario where he makes Mosley, Marquez and Bradley back pedal and counter where he presses the action for the fans.

    Good for Pacquiao...good for Bradley....bad for Marquez lol
