    Legendary stuff from Pacquiao. The Pacman was an unknown teenager who slept on the ring canvas, spent his days selling cigarettes and drinking San Miguel. Then with 1 single punch he slept and flattened the man at Flyweight by beating the guy who beat the best Flyweight of the 1990s.

    Now Pac is 40 years old. And now many people are making excuses as to why a former Flyweight champion is cherry picking a 30 year old world class Welterweight.

    Pacquiao is boxing.

    He's still active, but years down the line, he might become the GOAT. His resume is gonna age like a fine wine.

    Imagine how ridiculous it would be to say in 1997 that Pacquiao would be fighting in 2019 for Welterweight world titles.

    Or I just imagine Inoue rising up to 147 and taking down welters. The idea is absurd, but Pacquiao did it.

    Pacquiao started boxing when he was 14. In less than 2 years he turned pro. He didn't even train. Just drank beer, sold cigarettes and swung away wildly in the ring. And still became champ.

    Yep. Floyd was born into it and most fighters have development teams guiding them from the very beginning.

    I'm telling you that Thurman thinks he's just going to walk over Pacquiao. It's not going to happen.

    I have a very hard time understanding how anyone who is a boxing fan could have a dislike for Pacquiao or not be a fan. He came off of the street from nothing to be the only eight division world champion in the history of boxing. Something that will not be duplicated in a couple of lifetimes.

    Racism. It's a disease in boxing. It's why when Floyd accused Pac of being on PEDs, many black fighters backed up Floyd and basically said as much. But when Floyd was caught with IV fluids, literally no one said a thing. A ton of black fighters also voiced that they wanted Broner to win.

    And the Mexicans are just mad that Pac smoked 2 of their legends along with many others. That's why they embrace the Marquez KO despite the very obvious doping.

    He should watch the Pacman vs Margarito, Cotto, DelaHoya fight before thinking that...

    Pacman is one of the greatest boxers ever. He is more importantly a great man. He has donated half his fight purses since he became a world champion. That totals about $200,000,000. Thousands of poor people live in a new house in the Philippines because of him.
    Mayweather is a great boxer. He is a detestable human being.

    There's nothing racist in favoring your own race. Racism means actively oppressing/discriminating other races on the basis of their race.
