The pure hate on this forum for Manny is just mind boggling. So many idiots (usually MW groupies) posting rubbish, like "I really hope the guy gets KTFO" just amazes me. I simply do not understand how you can call yourself a boxing enthusiast and NOT enjoy watching a Pacquiao fight. The guy does everything he can to please the fans with his action toe to toe style, and there will likely never be another guy like him in this generation. I am not saying that boxing will be dead when Manny retires, but he will leave a HUGE gap when he does in terms of putting bums on seats. How anyone cannot appreciate his fights should simply **** off and follow another sport.
blah blah blah, its the same shiet everytime... we get it now..before a fight, pacquiao is "going to get killed" or that "he's never faced anyone like this before" or that "he doesnt have a chance" and i know this is true because im here before every fight. then what happens when he beats them? "oh he's overrated, and hes washed up", "he's not the same fighter". im sick and tired of this, its the same thing over and over. All you guys need to STFU already. WE GET IT, you guys arent a fan of his but DAMN just stop it already. i dont mind someone having an opposing opinion, but some of you guys make yourselves look really stupid.
Being hated on ESB is like a badge of honor. Klitchkos dominate, ESB hates... Manny dominates, ESB hates..., Calzaghe dominates, ESB hates... Floyd dominates ducking, ESB hates.... see the trend?
No, its just that you are damn stupid because this topic has been beaten to death. You lazy *****. Read!
Julio Cesar Chavez cleaned out his division for years.. Oscar De La Hoya anytime the public requested a fight it was made... Mosley in his peak ducked nobody... instead he was ducked Larry Holmes ducked nobody when he was in his prime Juan Manuel Marquez has never ducked an opponent---interestingly he put up a better fights than Hatton , Oscar, Cotto; yet, Pac says no mas case closed. Pac instead opts to fight Clottey and Margarito. !!!!!Pac is ducking Marquez!!!!!
Other fighters that never ducked anybody Azumah Nelson, Julian Jackson, Arguello, Napoles, Gatti, Toney
Definitely not as good as people think. Marquez beat him and other fights were carefully picked. :good
A guy who opts to fight two welterweights, both of them top 5 contenders in their respective division over a lightweight, is definitely ducking the lightweight.
