:roll: Really? What was it that gave it away for you? Was it Pac calling Floyd Mayweather "pbf" or calling Margarito "Margo", or maybe the fact that it's written in the style of a ****** off ESB and not in the style of a semi english literate Pinoy known for being nothing but polite?
If you can only be a fly on a wall and hear what Pac says sometimes in Tagalog...oh, the King's English is not vast enough to contain the profanities....
I know this is not a real letter, but Pacman does expect guys to lose ridiculous amounts of weight and thinks it is normal to fight them and it is an even fight. How would it have looked had Duran or Hearns or Leonard told Hagler to go down to 147 and fight them? It would have been unheard of then. And at the same time Hagler's middleweight title would be at stake? What has happened to boxing?
In no way will I be bothered to read that. So, here's this in response: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYqB0m4XYRQ[/ame]
I'd say in my opinion that Cotto is his 2nd best win. The first Barrera win likely beats it out. Def not the controversial Marquez SD. Def not either of the Morales wins when Morales was old, had already beaten Pac, then lost to Zahir Raheem before he ever lost to Pacquiao. Come to think of it, Barrera I and Cotto are the top two victories of his career and the rest are a ways behind. The third best is probably Hatton? Kinda sad that one of his Mayweathers' scrap fights is his 3rd best victory and some people on here think he is a top 10 all time great... The stupidity, it's hard not to let it get to you.
Bingo...you got the gist of this exercise. This exegesis is not meant to be taken literally, for such would be fraudulent. Nor is it a parody or satire. For lack of a better term, it's like an attempt at a vulcan mind meld wherein the author attempts to put himself deep within the mind of the person supposedly penning the letter, a kinda literary docudrama, a stream of consciousness freudian exposition of a Bob Woodward type prose on the inner workings of, say, the Bush Adminstration's decision to invade Iraq. Greatness is as much destiny as hard work, unforgiving calculation, and contrivance. I don't think it is by accident that the top players in the game like Arum and diBella are graduates of our top law school, nor is by accident that the top boxer of our generation has Arum as his promoter and Freddie as his trainer and Trampler as his matchmaker. The negotiation that goes behind closed door, as encapsulated in this 'letter' is more compelling and intriguing than one can imagine, as cerebral and conniving as any diplomatic negotiation beween a Kissinger and a Le Duc Tho.
whatever "barley"...your prediction on this is just like your prediction on tony winning :good ...manny's illiterate ass is still smarter than your dumb ass
WOOOOOWWWWW!!!! Sooooo ****ing deep! :shock::shock: "Kissinger and a Le Duc Tho" WTF?! that makes me a ****** and your a freaking genius then you can STFU :good
