Pacquiao is popular because he's Asian and undersized

He isn't even that undersized he adapted very well to the higher weight classes

 

Him playing the "tiny Asian" did pay off.. Moving up in weight fighting the right guys at the right time helped too..

 

Lies, smart people dont tell they got all A's!

 

And Sugar Ray Robinson is considered GOAT because he's black.

 

Well, beating larger opponents above your natural weight class will give you respect and a high P4P ranking..
Isn't that logical?

 

Sugar Ray Robinson is overrated and fought in a weak division.

 

Pacquiao is anything but undersized. His head is the size of a 45-year-old Barry Bonds.

Not that they have anything else in common...

 

This would be true, but you must remember dumb people can easily get all A's.

 

More hating and more nut hugging..... Oh, what surprise it's this guy again.:-(

 

Did not know this rule had been instituted.

 

Who am I nut hugging? I mentioned no one except Pacquiao. Let's be honest, Pacquiao is celebrated not for his talents, but because of the other non-boxing related factors I mentioned.

 

There's a lot of Asian fighters out there. He's popular because he's good. Has been in some classic fights and beaten some legends

 

Really? Which "weak division" are you talking about? The "overrated" Ray Robinson campaigned in multiple divisions over the span of his boxing career. I'm sure you knew at least that much given your emphatic stance on Ray competing in a "weak division". I'm not sure when you started watching the sport of boxing or how much time you spent brushing up on the history of the sport but based on what you have revealed within the context of your posts, it appears you knowledge level of boxing is extemely shallow.

 

There are a lot of small, Asian fighters who have never reached the levels of popularity thst Manny has reached. So what makes Manny different....I'm sure its not his ability to carry a tune or his incredible acting talents.....maybe its hid good looks? Although I highly doubt that's the reason for his iconic image on the global scale..

The only other logical explanation lies within what he's been able to accomplish as a prize fighter. Making history in any sport is very difficult, let alone the most physically and mentally grueling sport in the world in boxing.

To say his resume is great is an understatement. Manny has one of the most impressive ring legacies the sport has ever produced with a list of opponents that are the very best this era has produced.

The real reason Pac is the global superstar that he is has to do with a combination of things, but the main reason is based on his abilities and accomplishments in the ring.

 

The same could be said for Obama but only the trailer trash types make accusations like that
