If you're not a Pacquiao fan yet, why not?

And the shops doesn't help, at least to those who hate them in the first place (quality and very creative shops btw).

 

You think that disappears? IMHO, he is on drugs, but we can't say he IS in a decent boxing discussion until we get the tests.

And if you read my other post you see it is a progression in which him ducking drug testing was the last straw.

 

Pac is the best 147 lbs. fighter in the world today. Void ran like Hell!

 

Almost as fast as Pac ran from Mosley... Almost.

Floyd turned like a man and faced Mosley. Pac is still running.

 

you do have a point.

I think pac outright ducked shane.

 

I don't know if waiting to sign a contract lying on your own desk for three days can be called manning up. :rofl

More like cornered like a dog with its tail between the legs that's what :yep

He probably feared the catcalls he'd be hearing forever if he dared to claim Shane's not a PPV attraction

Turned like a man yeah right.:!:

 

Pac/Void would have happened if Void had not chickened out.

 

I think that was the time around the DLH win, and around the Hatton fight.

Roach wasnt sure if MP was ready to face bigger and bigger guys, and he was just more confident that MP can handle a slightly heavier man, a 140 weightclass fighter who's around Pac's size, more or less. (Ricky)

He wasnt sure yet if Pac can handle a real 147-154 guy's punching power and punch resistance.

After winning against Cotto and Clottey, Roach seemed more open to fight Mosley and/or Floyd.

 

There's a fine line between taking on the absolute, undisputable biggest challenges and career mismanagement.

 

Yep. I don't think anyone would have blamed Manny at the time for not fighting Shane. He was still considered a little guy fighting out of his division. He's proven now that he can handle the big welterweights.

 

My only gripe was what he said post JMM 2 fight. "This business is so over..."


However, I got over that with the hatton and cotto fights.

 

It's starting to look that way.

I will guess, maybe over half of the people that don't like Pac holds this reason.

 

because they are racist, dont want to see a filipino succeed into something great

 

You think they would not overlook that, on a forum like this, but they do. atsch

 

I was not talking about how you are not a fan.

I was saying at one instance you are downplaying Pac's accomplishments because his opponents are washed-up, drained, catchweight, bloated, etc etc. and then in another post accuse him of using drugs because he wasn't supposed to beat his opponents remarkably well. Which is it really?
