PacMan's Corner

I think Pacman already lost his magic. I lost interest in Pacman after he lost to Mayweather. That fight was the one that would have made him the unquestioned GOAT in boxing if he won. What made things worse was his excuse of an injury. He kept on bragging that he would beat Mayweather but when it was time to back it up, he failed miserably. In my opinion, he had so many distractions that's why he lost to Mayweather. If he just concentrated on being strictly a boxer, he would probably have beaten Floyd.

 

Pacman may not be 100% healthy that time... but do you really think Mayweather Jr. won a wide margin with that bout?

 

I think the only way Pacman will win against Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas, Nevada is if he knock him out. But that will never happen... No one can knock Mayweather Jr. out because he does not engage. And no one will win against Mayweather Jr. on points not because he is skilled but because he is protected there.

Yes Mayweather won that fight decisively. Sure he didn't go Rocky Balboa on Manny's ass and sure we can agree that the fight itself was very disappointing. But judging on the merits of the fight itself, Mayweather clearly won. Manny just could not get him to fight his fight. Mayweather kept frustrating him. Mayweather was hardly getting hurt. Remember kahit naman yun mga journalist na nasa ringside kay Mayweather binigay laban.

 

Yun Leonard Hagler, yun pa! Talagang ngayon hindi masettle ng afficionados kung sino ba talaga nanalo sa laban na yun.

Laos na talaga si Pacquiao.

 

Do not get me wrong, he deserves a place in the history of the sport as one of the greatest fighters of all time. But what goes up must come down. No one stays at the top forever. Not the beatles, not the backstreet boys, not the persian empire, not even the dinosaurs.

 

Parang kelan lang no? Hindi lang hinangaan si Manny kundi halos sambahin na. Sabi ko nga, ang Pilipino panatiko sa dalawang bagay, relihiyon at Manny Pacquiao. Kung tutuusin relihiyon na sya na matatawag. There was a time na kapag me sinabi ka na di maganda sa kanya, para ka na din nagcommit ng blasphemy. Sino na nga ba yun import na nasipa dahil sa sinabi nya tungkol sa pagbabasketball ni Pacquiao? Ayun sipa tuloy sya. Sya daw Martin Luther King ng pilipinas lol. Last time I checked he did not fight for civil rights.

 

Pero ngayon kahit sa sarili nyang bayan di na rin kasing excited mapanood sya lumaban. Hindi rin nakatulong yun masahol pa sa hayop speech nya. At ngayon gusto pa maging senador. Ewan ko kung alam ni Manny na ang pagtangkilik sa kanya ng tao nakasalalay sa kasikatan nya sa boxing. Pag nawala na din yan, mawawala na din interes sa kanya. Sure pwedeng manalo sya sa election, pero kung magkalat sya sa senado, huwag nya asahan na lagi sya kukunsintihin. Maliban na lang siguro sa mga ilang bobotante na kulang sa talino. Sayang nga eh. Noon napagkakaisa nya mga intellectual at yun mga mahihirap. Ngayon yun mga intellectual di na interesado.

 

Sana naman huwag maging complete rise and fall yung story nya. Tipong after boxing, wala na. Laughing stock na lang sya sa senado.

Just heard na kahit daw sa middle east, ayaw na magsayang ng tao dun ng pera for PPV para mapanood si Pacquiao.

 

Well normal lang naman talaga ang malaos. Pero ang hinayang ko, pagkatapos ng boxing lalo pa sirain ni Pacquiao sarili nya sa Pulitika. No doubt that his accomplishments will be well cemented in the history of the sport. But what becomes of him after being a boxer?

 

Siguro naman hindi na sya magiging pulubi gaya ni Rolando Navarette unless sobrang tanga sya. Kabobohan na lang talaga maghirap sya.

 

Its not impossible na manalo syang senador, pero I doubt really if he will do great. In fact, he never really did anything great outside boxing (i.e acting, singing, basketball or politics). Itong ibang extra curricular work nya, nakadepende naman lagi sa kasikatan nya noon sa boxing. Ngayong wala na, I doubt kung tatangkilikin pa sya gaya ng dati. Liban na lang siguro sa ilang die hard fanatics.

Last great performance of Pacquiao was with Margarito. It was the last time IMO the world will see the awesomeness of the Pacman. The fight was at 155, and Pacquiao went in that fight at 143. It was a junior welterweight beating the s@%t out of a middleweight. That fight didn't end in a KO, but boy was it awesome to watch. Pacquiao did more damage to margarito more than anyone this mexican had to face.

 

Its one of my favorite fights of him. I like it better than Dela Hoya. Dela Hoya was not even healthy, any boxer who stood up with him would have kicked his ass that night. Kahit siguro referee kinalaban nya, matatalo pa din sya.

 

Hatton and Cotto fights were awesome too.

In my opinion, it seems like Bradley's game is still improving and Pacquiao's skills has been diminishing. Tough call, Bradley is approaching, if not on his prime, while Pacquiao has been steadily declining.

 

This fight hasn't created a lot of buzz unlike the previous Pacquiao fights. That's crazy.
