first, it is filipino. and second, not all filipino writers have pac's balls in their mouth while writing
If Pac was fighting in that era he would have been just another Lopez (126) Arguello (130) Duran (135) VICTIM. Bobby Chacon and a few others would have beat his ass too!
If anything I've learned watching Pac these past several years is that he always has a chance. He's got that fighting spirit. Duran won't back down and those are the kindsa fighters in which Pac always shine. I noticed alotta Pac hate on this site, imma start posting here as part of the Pac army. And no pretentious boxing "expert" start callin me noob lest they get whats comin to them.
You're as noob as it gets , not that that matters. While I wouldn't describe myself as a fan, I like Pac. I scored him as winning both JMM fights. But Duran is in a completely different league. Even p4p, Duran is much better, and then consider that Duran beat Barkley and pushed Hagler to the limit and fought and won fights at light heavy weight, whereas 135 is probably close to the heaviest Pac will ever fight. The article is out to lunch.
This is where you are wrong. A lot of us here at ESB love Manny. Hes exciting, powerful, skillful, fights whoever whenever and is an absolute gentleman outside the ring. The hate is not for Pac, it is against the nuthuggers that seem to pollute this site worse than a bad fart. (See Patsys post above for further clarification). They make a prediction like for instance Pac TKO 10 Hatton and follow it up with nothing else. No reasons explaining why pac will tko hatton or anything. They do not see the boxing world that extends beyond Mannys *****.
Forget about being called a noob, If I was you I'd be more worried about being labeled a *******. Welcome to ESB:hi:
seriously, pac has been one of my favs for the past 6 years. but duran is a completely different animal at lightweight. he destroys all the great feather/superfeathers who have fought at light weight. be it arguello, rosario etc.. i'm jsut being realistic.
pac doesn't beat duran... the writer is obviously delusional. i may be a pac fan but i do accept that pac has his limits.
Thanks for the english lesson (not to mention you have about a half dozen errors in your reply). But anyways....I think it's safe to say that an article about Pac vs. Duran matchup COMING from the Phillipines most likely has some bias in it, don't you?
