Is Manny Pacquiao really humble?

I don't think he's playing humble on purpose, why would he and what for?, it's just not his personality to brag and do these things. If it was he would have been filmed doing it endless times in his free time in the Philippines or the US. He's just that type of quiet person.

After the Morales fight he had every right to question these things, they mentioned that they're not happy with the gloves BEFORE it happened MANY times. If it wasn't serious they weren't going to ditch the filthy crook Murad Muhammad. Arum suckered him into accepting the glove demand and they moved on from there. He also mentioned the headbutt as a major **** up which it OBVIOUSLY was, he was bleeding heavily from round 4 onwards from that cut and couldn't see punches aiming the side of the cut the entire night from round 4 to 12.

 

Bunch of ****ing excuses lol...

 

1. I didn't have my Cleto Reyes Gloves, if I did I would knock him out (very classy)
2. He headbutted me and I was cut (when it was OBVIOUSLY Pac who charged in leading with his head...again very classy)
3. A month later goes on talk show and says it was because he drew blood before the fight......real classy


come on now, Olympic boxers draw blood before fights, for goodness sakes Kobe and Lebron had to draw blood randomly before playing hoop, for goodness sakes Usain Bolt is being drug tested constantly and it dont stop him from running faster than hybrid cars. excuses, excuses

 

He has some cockiness, no doubt. Who would schedule a victory concert/party before the fight?!

...but, what if Pac's excuses were really true? He did come back to beat Morales and Marquez.
You have to give him the benefit of the doubt on those excuses.

 

You're one of the biggest idiots on this forum.

 

He's arrogant. I don't doubt that. I'd say he's earned the right to flash some arrogance though.

 

Well it is much easier to praise an opponent that you defeated, than to praise an opponent who just defeated you.

 

Pac got yall fooled. Suckers.

 

The reason? Or the excuse?

 

I don't think crying (literally) after hearing the winner of Morales-Pacquiao 1 is humble.

 

Do you even know what humble means?

 

He's no Basilio, that's for sure.

To further continue. Some may consider the opposite of humility to be pride.

Part of showing humility is having an honest expressive reaction to a loss. Manny didn't... he just threw in his lists of excuses why he lost, rather than why Erik was the better man that night.

Holyfield's a better example. When Toney beat him he said he didn't get off but that he was just the better man. He said Bowe was the better man. He gave his all but Bowe's all was just better. This is humility, this is modesty.

Holyfield and Pac have a lot in common. Both cheated on their wives, and both have been accused of doping.

The biggest difference would be Holyfield's humility after a loss.

Manny is competitive and Manny has pride. That's pride & ego let himself get in the way of being humble. When you're at a low, that's a better indication of one's true self and true expressive about themselves and others. Manny tries being humble and modest, and he does a good job but he's not as humble/modest as most claim him to be, especially from his fans.

Another example would be when he beat Marquez. Instead of talking about how he fought hard and was glad he won and that Marquez fought a glad fight. He just reacted to Marquez and his team's disapproval of the decision by saying "If you want to beat me. Knock me out." Manny's true colors come to surface every know and then. He has the ego/pride of most competitors.

Cotto is a better class act.

 

Pac's insulated now --layers 'n layers of close-mouthed suits -- and though he has lots more money for bling, he's the same simple guy I met when he first came to the states. To him, socks were socks, and, on a whim, he got these cheap, crappy ones for the Marquez fight. His team should have been more on the ball, but it happened. After the fight in the dressing room, when he pulled off his sock, he had a blister the size of New Jersey.

He wasn't copin' a plea; it was what it was.
