    I have seen many posters saying how gracious Pacquiao is in defeat. Yes, it is true....I would be gracious in defeat also if I was getting paid $18 million dollars for a fight. :patsch

    Seriously though, a fighter like Pacquiao has already accomplished so much that a loss does not hurt his legacy. That is why he is gracious. Take a look at his post fight interview after the Morales I fight however and you will see that he wasn't always so grateful...it was excuse after excuse just like any other fighter not at the stature that he is now.

    He was very gracious in 'defeat' after the Bradley fight....considering he won it.

    Pacquiao is the most humble guy in boxing.

    i know you want to hear it: Pac is gracious in defeat; a stark contrast to Whine Manuel Marquez.

    Pac is a gentleman inside and outside of the ring. Even Floyd fans know this.

    He never whined about the Bradley "defeat" when he had every reason to. The guy just accepted it as a defeat and moved on. Any other fighter in his position would never let it go.
