    Somebody said this right after the fight ended where I was watching and I think its true. What do you think? That was entertainment, that was domination, that was beating the odds, that was great stuff. That was boxing at its best.

    Opened at 2.5 to 1, closed around 1.5 to 1. Yup. Beating the odds. Pac was the underdog clearly, much more so than the line indicates. A much smaller man.

    You must have lost money.

    Even if pac loses you still get your money's worth. His style is entertaining and he's a genuine guy outside the ring, no trash talking.

    The thing is this.... i dont give a **** about him being the best, about how much money he makes, or how some fighters try to razzle dazzle and look cute in the ring.

    Pac comes to fight.... and he usually goes after the toughest people he can find. He is a pure warrior....

    his personality just adds to that....

    He has made me a fan without a doubt.... and i can not see one rational reason anyone would dislike him.

    Pac is the man.

    Definately false. If you like athletes, you like Manny Pacquiao. As a boxer, Manny Pacquiao has only just recently started to become a boxer. If you like boxing, you should be warming up to Pacquiao.

    I too do not understand why ANYONE would dislike this guy. Unless you're a bitter ass crybaby who's just upset that he whooped on one of your boys. Even still, grow up and appreciate what the boxing world has to offer. Pacquiao...

    1. Doesn't duck anybody
    2. Is an all-action fighter
    3. Trains like an animal and comes to fight
    4. Is the most humble, generous, courteous & gracious individual I've ever seen in this sport.

    What's not to like?

    He's good for sport, I 'd like to se him and Margarito fight. I don't think he is type to duck anyone, and he has fan pleasing style.
