Pacquiao impressed me tonight and he should have impressed everyone.

despite the fact that he was facing a very very average boxer. Regardless of that, just sit here and ask yourself "What more can we ask for" from Pacquiao?

He isn't stopping here, he isn't cherry picking anything. He may have cherry picked this belt, but he isn't cherry picking anything in the future just like he hasn't cherry picked anything in the past.

Lets put it this way, Putting the obsessive Pacquiao fans aside, You can't represent the sport of boxing in a better way than Manny Pacquiao does.

You can claim he is 1 dimensional all you want (In a way he is 1 dimensional but in a way he really isn't) but his offensive game is exciting and it works, and if it ain't broken then why fix it?

With a stiff resume like Pacquiao's some of the people around here want to pick apart his career(as if you're qualified to do so lol...) by claiming that he beat up on old fighters. Sorry but the whole "old fighter" thing only applies to Erik Morales who is a ****ing unbelievable fighter and if you're going to lose to a fighter it might as well be Morales. He beat down Barrera when he was definitely still game, and he squeezed by Marquez (i don't think they were convincing or that he should have won both but who ****ing cares...) Fact is, Pacquiao was at a horrendous stylistic disadvantage against Marquez and his determination in taking his style and making it effective against someone like Marquez is impressive in itself.

The reality is that this guy Pacquiao isn't a little *****. His career shows it and I honestly just really admire him as a person for what hes done for boxing. He may not be a "stylist" in some peoples eyes but he deserves respect from every single person. If you can't realize this than you're a sad excuse of a boxing fan.

Time for some more beer....

Pacman did his job, and he deserves all the credit in the world for handling a fighter like David Diaz in that fashion.

As expected!

you see there is a thin line between die hard JMM fans and the pac haters.

4rounder even tried to discredit diaz even before the first punch was
given...

lets see how jmm fares with papa casa.... like i said many times before.
jmm has the ability to win fights! that's about it. but to see jmm fight as exciting as pac! FORGET IT!

Juan Manuel Marquez will thoroughly outbox Casa just like he did Pacman for 24 rounds. It isn't speculation that he outboxed Pac, it's on the film for everybody to see. Let's not try and discredit Juan Manuel Marquez in a thread that was designed to give props to Manny.

For Pac?

I'm not a Pacman hater, It's just everytime somebody mentions him it's in a ridiclious context. Do I think he'd be comeptitive with any top 10 welterweight in the world? Hell no. There is no evidence to suggest that he is even the best lightweight in the world at the moment, and for him to go up and fight people as big as Hoya and Hatton isn't a good move in my opinion. If they aren't talking about that then they are crediting him for a fight I thought he lost, and I can handle that the first time, but it happening two times in a row is hard for me to stomach.

Pacman is a great fighter.

As a Pac fan, there are a lot of other Pac fans that sometimes make outstandish claims.. For one, I don't think a fight with DLH or Floyd would ever happen, as Pac as also said, he wont go above 140.. Now a fight with Hatton is possible, but I would like for him to fight a few fights in the 135lb division and possibly unify all of the titles, while in the midst of fighting JMM in a rematch.. As I think JMM will win his fight with Casam I do think Pac will be fighting him in early 2009 as well as the winner of Campbell/Guzman.. But yeah, there are a lot of crazy Pac fan's here and there, although I have no problems with them except when they say some wild **** like "Pac would've starched Duran" or some **** like that, but I don't see why people would hate on Pac and try to discredit him just over a couple of fans?? Not saying you do though, but a select few on ESB..

Thats a very fair post. Pac was extremely impressive last night and its made me think twice about his chances with Hatton (I'd still take Hatton, he's not going to stand there in the middle distance while Pac tees off on him) but the Pac fans banging on about Oscar and Mayweather fights are doing their credibility no good at all, it ain;t going to happen. Pac needs to have a fight or 2 at 135 and then look for a Hatton fight around this time next year.

1) I cried Tears of joy when Erik Morales beat Pacquiao up in that first fight.

2)I cried Tears of sadness when Erik Morales showed up in the 2nd fight getting wiped up as a fighter that aged over the course of his previous fights.

3)I cried like a baby when Morales shook his head no on the canvas like he'd seen enough from those 3 rounds of war.

4) I cried tears of anger when Morales got ROBBED against David Diaz in his attempt to become a 4 division world champion.

5) I cried tears of happiness tonight when Manny Pacquiao laid this fool out almost putting him in a stretcher with a lethal counter left after putting on a Joe Calzaghe ala Jeff Lacy Performance!!!

I was impressed with how cool he was. No longer jumping in to get the job done early. He has become a fine boxer who can still get a brilliant finish like in the old days.

jecxbox · Jun 29, 2008

Pacquiao has to go into every fight right now with the mindset that the scoring system is set up like the USA Amateurs. He has to come in thinking that his power isn't going to win him the fight if he can't KO the guy, He has to fight to land punches with his hand speed and trying to win every round. Joe Calzaghe fights in the same manner only difference is Calzaghe has an amazing defensive skill set,(Pacquiao makes up for it in a way with his AMAZING leg strength and foot speed) but offensively he fights as if it was the amateurs, out landing to win rounds. Gamboa fought this way with Jimenez, Gamboa who although has a very nice KO ratio resorted to landing flurries upon flurries to win every single round.

Pac just did this with David Diaz, and he should keep it up if he wants to keep winning his fights at this higher weight. He did an excellent job.

For Pac's next opponent, Rumor has it that Arum is trying to find a former middleweight part time boxer from the Los Angeles rehab center to come back to boxing, he will be rewarded a vacant belt courtesy of TopRank, so Pac can win another belt and "look relaxed and amazing" against the soon to be middleweight world champion.

Keep fighting for Legacy, Pac!!!!
