    If there’s one thing that amazes me about Manny Pacquiao beyond anything else it’s his touch of humanity. And even with so much down the line, and all the pride and money involved in that fight last Nov.13, 2010 in Dallas against Margarito, Pacman showed mercy in the ring and I believe he carried Tony Margarito through the last rounds, or at least in the Twelfth. He had retained the condition, speed, and power to stump what was left of the Tijuana rubble yet refused not to. Instead he “carried him” ‘til the end. He could have thrown haymakers if he wanted to and knock the living daylights out of Tony; it was obvious he was very much capable still and full of energy but he merely threw smothering punches just to get it over with. When asked about this at the end of the fight he simply said “Boxing is not about killing each other.”

    In fact Manny visited Tony in the hospital after the fight.

    What a classic act.

    There's sometthing pretty special about a fighter that displays genuine humility and compassion. It goes totally against the grain of how most fighters are perceived :good

    I think you're taking that out of context.

    Because he's a 13 year old kid.

    And indeed, Manny is a treasure to the sport.

    Noob??

    But I've got more posts than you and been here longer.

    Unless you've been banned and come back under a new identity,which doesn't surprise as you seem the type of fool that would enjoy trying to get themself banned from a harmless boxing forum.

    Another question why do you sign all your posts off as "Foreman Hooook"?

    We can ****ing see who you are without that.

    Did you see MR BILL do it and reckon you'd have in on it as well?

    Unoriginal as well as uninteresting.
