Discrediting Manny Pacquiao’s Accomplishments In The Ring

Featured, Opinion Articles, Submitted Articles

By Erwin Lastimosa

It seems after every fight there is always an excuse as to why Manny Pacquiao wins.

When Manny has two close fights with Juan Manuel Marquez, people say Marquez was robbed and he schooled Pacquiao.  In reality they were close competitive fights.

Before the Oscar De La Hoya fight so many picked against Pacquiao, then Manny wins in dominating fashion and Oscar is weight drained.

Before the Hatton fight, Hatton was too big for Manny and undefeated at 140 lbs, then Manny Knocks him out in 2 rounds all of a sudden Hatton was wasn’t the same after Mayweather KO him or he didn’t follow a game plan that is why he was KO.

If Manny loses to Miguel Cotto on HBO pay per view, Nov. 14, he will be thrown even more disrespect such as “I told you he was overrated or Manny was a hyped up fighter who got exposed”.  If Pacquiao loses to Cotto, I will give Cotto all the credit in the world, and Manny should get credit as well for taking on the tough Puerto Rican Champion.

All of this discrediting and disrespect for Manny is confusing to me.  A man who never talks trash, respects his opponent and tries his hardest in every fight to give the fans an exciting match.  Seems no matter who you are or what you do you will always have someone who will just hate on you.

My question to the readers: Why does Manny Pacquiao get discredited so much?

I don’t help that Roach himself says that ODLH couldn’t pull the trigger any more or that Hatton wasn’t that good a champion or Cotto is still messed up from Margarito.

Pacquiao go back to Asia and fight some more cab drivers to pad your record.

A typical response of a bruised American pride. It’s hard for you to swallow that an Asian came to US saves and dominates the sports of boxing.

What are you a thug? ok DAWG!

Go speak English you and your ebonics are hard to understand.

Minorities like Pacquiao are what’s killing this sport or boxing.

I see you Filipinos taking all the jobs at the hospitals and nursing homes.

My wife got laid off and they hired a immigrant Filipino.

So Fuck off. I hope Cotto knocks that ugly ass mustache off of Pacmans Face.

I can never respect a dog eater.

Mike

She worked there for 10 years

She was always on time and was the most loyal hard working person.

They laid her off to pay someone cheaper.

But like the typical disrespectful immigrant you have to say something so ignorant like she was a lazy bitch.

You filipinos lack class, keep talking shit! you all talk shit on floyd mayweather but look in the mirror are you any better? your actually WORSE! no class or respect.

You need to channel your hate and anger elsewhere, like towards the policy makers at the hospital who laid off your wife.

This is such a double edged time in the sport of boxing in a way that is making the sport popular again to casual fans and at the same time creating incredible divisions in the area of race, opinion and what-not. If anything, I hope small discussions will not turn into a race against another race or a nation against another nation. Everything that is happening around us will always have people on the losing end or otherwise but it should not change who you are as a person.

Colin, let me help you out. You don’t only hate minorities in general but you also hate Filipinos in particular. Pacquiao is killing the sport of boxing? How Colin? Didn’t Mike Tyson bit the ear of Holyfield because he was losing badly in that match? Talking about sportsmanship. Didn’t Floyd Mayweather Jr chose to fight a bloated and aging Manuel Marquez to pad his record and came to fight over the agreed weight limit? Honorable huh? Is it the Filipinos’ fault that we recruited nurses in the Philippines because there are not enough nurses to care for our sick and the elderly? Furthermore, was your wife more qualified than the Filipino nurse who replaced her? If she is then you might have a legitimate grievance against the Hospital. Why not take it to them rather than spewing your rant against Filipinos.

Ya I want attention by posting on a comment section(Rolls Eyes)

Maybe you are the one who wants attention, it takes one to know one right? maybe that’s how you think.

Gosh I cannot stand you Filipino FOBS.

Annoying when you people don’t even watch boxing just Manny Pacquiao.

Can’t wait for him to get KO’d it would be better for the sport if Cotto wins, at least he speaks better English and more Manly and not all giggly like a little kid with a glued on mustache.

Colin, you ain’t got no fucking balls to say any shit to these filipinos in real life, so why don’t you just shut the fuck up with your lectures concerning class, you’re about as fucking stupid, if not stupider, as the next person you were arguing with in here.

Before you start talking about what’s more annoying, why don’t you talk about motherfuckers who want to talk shit about other peoples races behind a fucking computer.

That’s more fucking annoying than the next person who only watches their favorite fighter and not know shit about boxing.

None of you fucking peckerwoods and gangbangin wannabe bitch types ever want to fucking stare me back down, cause they know I’ll whoop they muthafucking ass.

coz he’d neither white or black. let’s face it these so called critics can’t accept the fact that the biggest attraction from boxing is not coming from america.this man is coming from the island of the philippines. look at floyd the bigot sr.he has to make an excuse why pacamn is so strong. hitting below the belt to claim that pacman is on steroids. like you said the pacman just does his job in the ring. win or lose he’s the man no matter what usa media will write about him. because after this fight he go home and do his own business again while the usa media will bash him

Andrew

you are nothing but an ignorant racist Filipino.

I am not Black I am White, but I can see you have some hatred towards blacks.

Funny you would hate blacks though when you are dark probably and have broad nose and lips, you probably hate your own skin and say you are half Spanish like the rest.

Shows how the White man was able to control your mind and make you inferior.

If people say that Oscar was drained and that Hatton was overhyped or that Floyd already had beaten them. What about fighters Floyd beat who already had losses? Oscar never won a major fight against a top opponent.
Manny beat up Marquez twice and had him down on his knees more than a hooker late at night on the streets. For Heaven’s sake, he was up and down more than a service elevator! And when he fought Manny they were both the same weight plus Manny chose to slug with him. Floyd got his leftovers.
Can you imagine is Manny stuck to potshotting like Floyd? Never! He is a warrior. Last night he could have carried Cotto after rd 7 when he knew it was over. But like he did in the 2nd Barrera fight but he wanted to make a statement at 147 to those who said he could not take a punch or his body was weak. What else will people say? Wait til the PPV’s are in and when it says 1.6 million or more, Money Won’tfighter, Fraud Mayweather, Chicken Fraud or whatever else people call him, will hve no excuse. If he really likes $ he can’t make more without Manny and Manny gets top bill and the lion’s share (55-45).
