Manny Pacquiao: Can He Become a Bigger Star?

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

So you had the audacity to claim JMM was beat around the ring, tell people they scored with their hearts, when you havent even seen the fight yourself?

Also dont forget that was 1 fight. All fighters can have 1 bad night, I mean the fact that JMM was flying all the way to Indonesia for 30k to fight osme unknown fighters, do you really think we saw the best of JMM? Can you really compare that JMM to the JMM who trained some 12 weeks hard against Pac?

Until John fights outside his hometown, or atleast beats another elite, he simply unproven. Dont forget Buster Douglas beat Tyson too, Buster was hardly on tyson's level and was quickly dismantled by Holyfield after.

 

seriously pugilistic you need to watch the fights.

 

don't kid yourself. he is p4p#2 universally, but i meant he is underrated here on ESB, where people think Calzaghe is better than him, that if Cotto beats Margarito he is automatically better than Pac, that Gamboa would beat him if they fought this year, that Marquez actually schooled Pacquiao, and say things like "Campbell is not 1-dimensional like Pacquiao, he would knock Marquez out". Universally he is not as underrated as he is here, on esb, where its simply unbelievable.

 

amsterdam sometimes does not make sense when it comes to pac. but he's not alone. some esb posters underrate pac as if he's just some one dimensional bum who only beats old mexicans.

 

nice call, except JMM is one of my least fav. fighters out there.

 

Nice article!

One thing that pac lacks is FULL CONCENTRATION. I heard Davic Diaz started training weeks ahead of pac..

So many people is ruining pacs concentration. I read (I don't know if accurate) that he even plans of going to China to visit/do something?!

So many non-boxing related activities...

of course I WANT pac to win all his fights but due to his hectic schedule.....it takes a lot of precious time on his boxing training..

If you look as his wins LATELY it has been LESS impressive compared to the previous wins. That the TRUTH wether we like it or not!

Anyway, great article!

 

Pac did miss a conference that Arum wanted him at, but Pac cancelled the trip to China and a few other things so he can start training now.. He's training in the Santos boxing gym back at home and then is gonna' come over to LA to finish his traning off around late may or early june.. Pac is a busy scheduled guy.. Boxing, a political figure back in the Philippines, and many other things.. People have been gettin' on his case about not training for the Diaz fight, but he's listening now and has started his training.. As far as saying his wins are less impressive, I disagree, because he's fighting tougher fighters now.. He's not gonna' get as many KO's or look as good as he did back then..

 

Good thing he cancelled his trip to China. Imagine, a boxer who is going to have a fight soon touring in china?

Hope to trains in U.S. soon to lessen the DISTRACTION! Remember when Roach trained pac here in the Phils. Roach almost gave up coz he can't control the number of people in the gym.

That's right, pac is a celebrity in the Phils that's why everyday a lot of people wants to get a piece of him. The more REASON he should train at ROACH's gym ASAP!

 

I agree, he should train in Roach's gym instead of his home gym and a lot sooner than now.. When I saw that there was an article about him scuba diving, I was just like atsch..

 

Thats what I'm saying! While his opponent is/was busy training! Our pac currently not AS FOCUSED AS HE USED TO BE!

Anyway, I hope he does not cram in his training...

 

:good

 

celebrity lifestyle is ruining pac. i just hope that he is serious abt his training cause it will be the first time that he's fighting at lightweight

 

Was reading somewhere, I forget where, but they were talking about how Pac said he knows that this fight vs Diaz won't be a push over.. Pac had said he'll be training very hard and that his shape will be in great form.. Nobody knows Pac's body like he does and we should believe him.. He runs and swims about everyday and when he starts his training, it's rigorous.. All these things are getting in Pac's boxing career, but maybe we should trust Pacquiao?

Now back to the topic and if he can become a bigger star.. They were talking about Pacquiao and Cotto being Arum's top two fighters and that if people are cheering for Pac, they should be cheering for Cotto as Cotto can take Pac to the top by defeating Mayweather.. With Cotto defeating Mayweather and if Pac is still undefeated, Cotto will have put Pac in the #1 P4P spot.. A cheer for the filipino is a cheer for the puerto rican?
