    He's consistent in that he's never bitched about the judges decision.

    He showed us, what is a true sportsman has to be even thou he came from a poverty country and family.... accept defeat even he clearly won and not whinning like a cry baby

    it is true and evident, that in some of his last fight he already lost his heart in boxing because of so many pre occupied activities outside boxing. (politicians, endorser, actor, family, and now preaching the word of god)

    but still prove to the world he can still beat those young guns out there (a 28 yr old prime)

    Yeah. . I mean, all due respect to Marquez, but he acted like a lil ass kid who just lost a kickball game. . . Pacquiao acted like a grown ass man. . .


    And Marquez/Pac wasn't even decisive. . I think the neutral press was pretty mcuh 50/50, literall (out of 100 and some).

    Pac Bradley was literally like 90% Pac.

    After putting in much hard work in training and winning the fight only to get shafted by the judges, and then have Arum's ****** ass walk up to you and telling you "It's all buisness", i would be ****ing heated as well.

    Pacquiao not giving a **** about last night robbery makes me think he knew this was gonna be fixed...Dude was ****ing crying after his loss to Morales a couple years back..

    I think that Pacquiao and Bradly acted profesoinaly in the imidiate aftermath of the fight. We will see how things devlope as time goes on. For now I like how they have both handled things.

    I agree that Floyd is better (although I still prefer Pac as a fighter), that's why it's so strange that this fight wasn't made. Doesn't make sense to me.

    "Even Juan Marquez was dumbfounded by Pacquiao's seemingly calm response."

    Why wouldn't he be calm?
    Arum told him to either throw the fight, go easy on Bradley, so there would be huge interest in the rematch. (Posters already made, remember?)

    Pac did wah hees manager Bob Arum tell heem to do, and the result was exactly as planned.

    Pac will now get a huge payday from the rematch, and he'll never have to face Floyd. What's to be upset about?

    Manny is one of a kind! It doesn't matter that he got robbed because everyone knows who won... Bradley is garbage! Victor Ortiz would KO that hobbit!

    To be fair to Marquez who is himself usually very classy but it was a 3rd bout with the same opponent and he gave his heart and soul in all 3 bouts. Whether he won any or all of them is subjective as any fight that goes to the cards is.

    Just like Manny Steward said you gotta be an advocate of knocking fools out because decisions can go anywhere.

    Marquez was just pissed because he believed in his heart he had finally bested his nemesis.
