    Def a puppet but he comes across as a good guy, his good guy image is definitely over played but there's certain things you can't fake imo

    I think Manny is a cool idiot. An idiot in the sense that he doesn't think for himself and lets people he trusts ruin him. Other than that I think he is really a good person, would probably have friends if he wasn't rich.

    Victor Ortiz is another fake one, phony just like Oscar IMHO. Tries to say the right thing all the time and is never himself or real. The **** Rios leaked out on him, him calling Rios house and claiming he was gonna have some people see about him, confirms the douchebag aura he has around himself.

    Donaire has the essence of the same douchebag vibe, but I don't think he is really the dick, it is the fact that he does whatever his woman says, even if that means dressing like a gay pirate, that makes him come off a weird.

    i used to live like 10 mins away from the klits and heard nothing but bad things about wlad.
    dude is said to be arrogant and fake. let's not forget their PED situation that kept them out of the 96 olympics plus their fake PHDs to make them look like good guys.

    Having said that I have read numerous things about them being douches, but it's never really backed up by anything

    I don't know how Donaire is in person, but I hope you are right about your prediction. My prediction: Donaire W 12. I hope I am wrong.

    Pacquiao got a shameful pass for everything so I can't blame him, his skin wasn't black so the media let him do whatever he wanted in and out the ring.

    I dont see how Pacquiao can be included in this, seems a genuinely nice guy. I can't think of a less phony fighter.

    The only thing i've never done myself there is **** fighting and that's their national sport, although i dont agree with it. Drunk ? Who cares , gambling? who doesn't ? Cheating ? everyone has .

    No i dont see an issue.

    Rocky Marciano. Sports illustrated some years back did a piece on him that portrayed Rocky in a pretty unflattering light to say the least. Dude never picked up a tab, cheated on his wife like a mother****er, hung out with notorious mobsters -- just a genuine all-around ****. Makes sense though. When you make a living beating the living **** out of dudes who are bigger, strong, faster, and more athletic than you, it means that deep down you're a mean, mean son of a *****. Pretty much a law of nature.
