I find your article (Lester Salvador’s Pacquiao and Mayweather – One Fan’s Opinion) perturbing and disappointing. While it gives honor to Mayweather, it slam bangs Pacquiao. There is no substantiation, only biased points of views. The following two statements you make aptly summarize your bias.
“It is no secret and obvious that the hate Floyd Mayweather Jr. receives is from people who are bitter and jealous of his wealth and success. People hate seeing a man brag about his cash and cars and mansion. People should stop being sour and work hard and be the best at what they do, instead of getting mad at guys like Mayweather who are confident and wealthy.”
There is nothing controversial about this statement. It’s your opinion, and I respect it. However, I can’t say the same for the next statement. You imply that Pacquiao is shady:
“Floyd earned his money the honest way and put his blood, sweat and tears into his career. Mayweather never stole cigarettes or donuts and resold them on the street, he also never took drugs and doesn’t smoke or drink he is a positive role model and lives a healthy lifestyle.”
In this statement you take out of context the well publicized story about Pacquiao stealing cigarettes and doughnuts and selling them. You portrayed him as a shady character for doing this. Didn’t you read that he did this when he was a very young child to support his family? The story was told in the context of his hard life and what he is today as an adult- a caring person. You took what was highly commendable of Pacquiao’s childhood and twisted it to portray Pacquiao as a crook. Second, to reinforce your shady portrayal of Pacquiao, you imply that he takes drugs. This is mere echoing of Floyd Mayweather, Sr., your idol’s father, whom Pacquiao is suing for character defamation.
Both Mayweather and Pacquiao have accomplished a lot through hard work and have made huge amounts of money. Yet, where you defend Mayweather with “Floyd earned his money the honest way and put his blood, sweat and tears into his career”, without hesitance you cut Pacquiao down. Is it because of what he did to Miguel Cotto, a fellow Puerto Rican? Cotto is my second favorite fighter next to Pacquiao. Who can’t help but like him? He is very humble and gives credit where credit is due. I too am hoping that he move up to middle weight and become champion there so that he could retire on a positive note and be contented for the rest of his life. Unlike Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De la Hoya, and Ricky Hatton, all of whom appear to be sour puss about Pacquiao for what he did to them, Cotto indeed is a class act. Did you read where he said that, despite being badly beaten by Pacquiao, Pacquiao is the best fighter he has ever faced? Or did you trash it because it worked against your grain?
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. However, no one has license to use opinion as a vehicle for defaming another person’s character. Floyd Mayweather, Sr. did this to Pacquiao, and Pacquiao is now suing him for slander and character defamation. I doubt very much Pacquiao will sue you. He probably won’t read your article.
While we enjoy freedom of speech, we must be sure that what we say is true or can be supported by evidence. I will now point out where I think you are walking on thin ice because you present no supporting evidence.
- “I am still pained to see my Puerto Rican countrymen Miguel Cotto suffer unfair losses to the hands of two questionable boxers, Antonio Margarito and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.”
This is an innuendo that Pacquiao was on drugs when he fought Cotto. This may be considered slander as you provide no evidence that he was on drugs but wrote on hearsay.
- “Antonio Margarito cheated by loading his gloves against Shane Mosley and got banned for it, and now Manny Pacquiao has been accused of steroids by several boxers including Floyd Mayweather, Kermit Cintron and Paulie Malignaggi.”
While it is correct that Pacquiao has been speculated to be using steroids, no one accused him of using steroids. You are slanting things here. The drug test imposed by Mayweather was not an accusation, but a safeguard.
- “If Floyd fought Oscar De La Hoya at 154 lbs then Pacquiao should man up, but he already admitted he was scared to fight Yuri Foreman because he was too big for him so he chose Joshua Clottey instead.”
Pacquiao fought and beat badly De la Hoya and Hatton, both of whom Mayweather had a hard time with. Also Pacquiao TKO’d Cotto, whom Mayweather avoided. All were bigger than he. But Yuri is 6’ tall, Pacquiao is only 5’61/2”. Pacquiao did say Yuri is too big for him. He did not admit that he was scared of him. Again, you slant things.
- “Floyd earned his money the honest way and put his blood, sweat and tears into his career. Mayweather never stole cigarettes or donuts and resold them on the street, he also never took drugs and doesn’t smoke or drink he is a positive role model and lives a healthy lifestyle.”
As was previously noted, this was taken out of context and wrongly implied that Pacquiao is shady and is on drugs.
- “The man(Mayweather) has fought the best and cleaned out the 130 and 135 lbs weight classes. Pacquiao has never done such a thing, all Pacquiao did was fight washed up guys and hand picked champions on his way up while avoiding guys like Nate Campbell, Juan Diaz, Juan Manuel Marquez in a third fight and Timothy Bradley to just name a few. “
What’s so funny is that this accusation of handpicked opponents is usually leveled on Mayweather, never on Pacquiao. You’ve got balls for twisting things around. Those fighters you mention were not at the time and are not now considered the top prospects for Pacquiao. What makes you think Pacquiao was avoiding them? Are you kidding? Remember, Pacquiao fought Marquez twice and knocked him down 5 times and would have won both fights had one of the judges scored the three knock down 1st round correctly, 10-6 instead of 10-7. As for Juan Diaz, Marquez\KO’d him and light-hitting Malignaggi beat him soundly in a rematch. As for Tim Bradley, he is being considered for EdwinValero’s first match as a Jr welter. Bob Arum will not let Valero fight Pacquiao without more experience at the heavier weight. What does this tell you? It tells you that Bradley is not as good as Pacquiao. Nate Campbell? Suffice to say that Bradley KO’d him
On the other hand, your so-called “washed up guys” De la Hoya, Hatton and Cotto were not considered washed up before the fights. In fact, two were the defending champions, on top of the heap. So was David Diaz, Pacquiao’s victim before them. Why do you call them”washed ups?” Just because Pacquiao destroyed them? .
- “Pacquiao is overrated. He has never cleaned out a division and he has been spoiled with his opposition and catch weight terms.”
Why “clean out” a division when there is opportunity to do even better? Don’t you think that after winning the WBC lightweight title from David Diaz, Pacquiao’s going up to KO Hatton in the Jr welter weight division is even a more remarkable achievement than “cleaning up” the lightweight division? Why hang around with smaller guys? Why not go head hunting with bigger guys? Pacquiao repeated this remarkable fete in the welter weight division. Don’t forget that he had already done this several times before wresting the lightweight title from David Diaz, 7 times altogether. “Cleaning up a division” is minor league compare to winning titles in seven weight divisions, each time going upwards in weight.
You say Pacquiao is overrated. You are actually talking bad not only of Pacquiao, but of all boxing authorities who do the ratings. We saw how you disregarded Cotto’s statement of how good Pacquiao is. Now we see how you disregard the astuteness of organizations such as the WBO and Ring Magazine. If Pacquiao were not good, these organizations would not have named him the fighter of the decade and the fighter of the year three times straight. I am sure Ring Magazine would not have named him the #1 P4P by a long shot. If Pacquiao were overrated, I am sure the world not be drawn to his fights. Why would his fight with Clotty in Dallas be nearing a sellout of 40,000 with more than a month to go? Why? Because Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter since Ali or Tyson. They may have to make more room in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Are you blind to these actualities? I don’t think so. You just don’t like Pacquiao.
- “Now he is taking on Joshua Clottey while Floyd Mayweather Jr. is fighting a real fight against Sugar Shane Mosley. Tell me who is taking the more meaningful fight?”
Again this a twisting of facts. The truth is, Mosley was not available for Pacquiao, as he was scheduled to meet Andre Berto in a title unification bout at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on January 30, 2010. However, Berto withdrew from the bout after eight members of his family were killed in the earthquake in Haiti. This happened after Pacquiao had already committed himself to fight Joshua Clottey, leaving Mayweather hanging. It was serendipity for Mosley who then was free to challenge Mayweather. It was not the other way around. Again, I repeat, it was Mosley who chose Mayweather; it was not Mayweather who did the choosing. In fact, after Mosley signed the contract, it took a while for Mayweather to finally sign. If he hadn’t signed, it would have been the second one in a row. He would have sealed his fate as a coward. He had no choice but to sign, as he was now under close scrutiny of every.
In conclusion, your article is full of slating and twisting of facts. It’s bound to be picked apart by others as well. I wish you luck, my friend.

Goof and Tich the first two posters may be the same posters. They write the same way, lacking good arguments. Goof and Tich- sound like a cartoon law firm.
I never believed that Cotto, Dela Hoya and Hatton are washed up fighters before Pac even fought them. Dela Hoya may not be as good as he was before but he can still kick a lesser boxer's ass off. Its the manner that Pac beat them that made them "washed-up". Pac retired the three of them.
Mr. Salvador is the same writer who guaranteed a Cotto victory on the Pac-Cotto fight. He said that Cotto is the real deal and that he is not a washed-up fighter like some of Pac's early foes. He also promised that he would stop writing articles if Pac wins the fight....we all folks know very well the outcome of the said fight. Pac demolished cotto. What's funny is that Mr. Salvador contradicted his early statements. After the fight, he stated that Cotto is not the same as he used to be and that the margarito fight took all his skills away from him. Even funnier is the fact that he is still writing articles until now after what he had promised..tsk tsk tsk. I pity you Mr. Salvador.
Mr. Lester Salvador, one peace of advice: Dont ever come to the Philippines. Im afraid that you would end up dead there when Filipinos learned of your comments and dishonest articles.
I agree with Angles, the pro-Pacmans have higher IQs and pro-PBF are dimwitted. Check their logic and they don't back their comments with evidence. The first time I read Lester Salvador article, I said to myself, my 13 years old cousin in the Philippines can write better than this. LOL. It shows how pacfans actually went to school and have smarts.
Kawasakai is laughing because he is not Japanese.
I did not intend to post a riposte but just read the exchanges. However this kawasaki started something beyond racism but quite a generalization of his ignorance and sheer arrogance. Kawasaki, my father was a WWII veteran. Probably, the war could be another source of your pride or your feeling of superiority. Here is a short factual story. in the Battle of Kiangan, my father's unit was sent inthe front line. They captured a Japanese during the intense fighting. My father's CO Major Viudez came to see the Japanese and without a word, took his bayonet and opened the chest of the Japanese, took his heart out and kicked the body with disgust. Major Viudez chopped the heart and put the pieces into the carabao meat that they were cooking. Each soldier ate the meal without saying anything. The next japanese suffered the same fate. The Americans pulled the Buenavista Military Area volunteers from the front. It was easy for them because the Japanese lost the will to fight and surrendered to the Americans. I digress but just to remind others that we Filipinos know how to express our hate but we also know how to forgive and live in civil existence.
I strongly agree with Angles' comment. That's how I forsee and assess comments too!
Boysen is a genius.
I just finished reading all 80 posts. All the intelligent and well written posts and level headed ones are pro-Pacquiao. Even the fowl-mouth pro-pacquiao posters sound like they have high IQs. All the pro-mayweather posters or anti-pacquiao posters sound dimwitted. No kidding.
Psyche-ing out opponents, only in any sport may actually win a game. PBF sticking little doubt into PAC's head could be worth the fight. Ghetto 101 son! No harm here and I'd do the same. In real life though, psyche-ing out, and taunting is far from accusing, that can be real dangerous in some neighborhood man, lol. Don't play that shi* ya dig. Play it ALI and Tyson style. I plea the mofuk8n fifth: "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty .... every dog has it's day .... the truth will come out eventually" PBF can be more level headed, I agree in many terms about cleaning out boxing. In real life though, never focus on one enemy, this will leave your sides and back open. This PAC situation is SELECTIVE PROSECUTION - look this up. Accusing others, other than your own race will never look right, and is jackedup sh8. Sr. will loose the case in court. Big ups on Mosely, call em up yo, and never puss*out a fight, your 2nd chance is worth the world. PBF, the fight is yours, to gain a bigger $ fight after, just fight, don't doubt yourself, when you doubt you already lost. I'll buy this PPV.
manny pedquiao is a cheater! he is using growth hormones to enhance his performance!
It's obvious that the XYLO-Fraud and his CRIMINAL family can't let go of their asinine rantings against the Pacmonster. . The plain and simple truth is just pure unmitigated ENVY, and the realization that Pac can KNOCK the XYLO-girl OUT if ever they meet in the ring. . the fraud keeps on spouting his poison to discredit the Pac 'coz the fraud can never be as good. . meanwhile all the major media and sponsors are lining up for the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. . the fraud is ignored.
This whole business about Pac's opponents being weight drained is ridiculous. Have any of the people who write these things done anything athletic in their lives or just parroting what they hear others say? I lose an average of 6 lbs on daily runs anywhere from 4 to 10 miles. No big deal ... I swim a mile or two later in the day.
I agree with Diamond that Kawasaki is not Japanese. At least, the personality that comes through is definitely not Japanese. Kawasaki the imposter is irrational in his post probably because his bitterness has overcome him. We see this bitterness in his chosen words: "Philippines is the piss pool of the Orient it is the Mexico of Asia." He is not Mexican for sure. Fighting Harada may be the greatest Asian boxers of all time. However, who knows for sure. The Filipino greats Pancho Villa and Flash Elorde arguably may have been even better. It's pure conjecture. But it's plain constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth to say that Pacquiao is a myth. If Kawasaki the Imposter is Puerto Rican, or Latin American, I've got news for him. To call the Philippines the "piss pool" of Asia could boomerang and hit him squarely in the face. Puerto Rico and the rest of latin America (except Brazil), is Hispanic. The Philippines is the only Hispanic country in Asia. Using Kawasaki the imposter's logics and association, Puerto Rico and the rest of Latin America must, therefore, be a piss pool too. I actually think that Kawasaki the imposter is Black. Why? He is stricken with the same ailment as Floyd Mayweather Sr.- constipation of the brain, diarrhea of the mouth. He can't go but cannot stop, both at the same time. Yes, he cannot move his bowels yet he has chronic diarrhea. We see the symtoms in the following quote of his: "I don’t know any Japanese who know who Pacquiao is, dont believe what bob arum say he is lying many times just to hype his fighter." I have concluded that Kawasaki the Imposter is either Puerto Rican or Black. If indeed he is Japanese, which I doubt very much, he must have eaten too much fugu.
Pacquiao fought and beat badly De la Hoya and Hatton, both of whom Mayweather had a hard time with. Also Pacquiao TKO’d Cotto, whom Mayweather avoided.
No need for rebuttal really. Lester Salvador's articles are repetitive. Same with Manuel Perez's (if they share the same identity). They keep rehashing the same arguments over and over again which have been debunked by neutral and more respectable journalists. It's a pity they associate themselves with Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. I am sure their countrymen are ashamed of their one-sided, irrational, self-contradictory arguments.
you're a dumb ass Puerto Rican..Pacquiao has more money than Mayweather. You don't know what a hell you're saying. Filipinos are not afraid of you..You just talk too much shit like Mayweather but in reality you're just a stupid & scared...
Pacquiao and Dela Hoya were hot in media and the whole universe was paying attention. The, without warning, heavenly trumpets sounded, reverberating in the sky. The clouds burst open, ta-ta, the king is back! All the people’s eyes turned to the sky. Out from the clouds, riding on a heavenly chariot pulled by a white prancing stallion, excorted by Arc-Angel Michael and legends of angels, was Floyd Mayweather, Jr. dressed in white tuxedo, white gloves, white shoes, white top hat, and white fur coat, smoking a white cigar. “The King has returned! The Kings has returned!” The cherubims announced. The seraphims answered, “We shall overcome! We shall overcome!” Then the whole cosmos broke into heavenly music as a choir of 10 million angels started singing “How Great Thou Art.” The next day Pacquiao beat up Dela Hoya. The King’s jaw dropped. He quickly rushed outside to get back on the chariot. Alas, it was gone. All the angels too were gone. The King is trapped on earth. Every night he prays for the chariot to return. Meantime, he bought a box full of monkey wrenches.
Freelance writer with no hope in life ur lucky we have the internet to dispose ur trash poorly written
Kawasaki you don't know what you are talking about, the Japanese are the most Barbaric people ever lived...go back and read your WW II and will find out the ruthless and shameless acts your ancestors has done. Killers and rapist, shame on you all Japanese and still have the nerve to show your faces after all the atrocities you have done to all. You are back stabbing bastards!!!!
Let's take a look of what kind of men these two guys are: Manny Pacquiao is a gentleman, honest, humble, charitable, dedicated to his profession and most of all God fearing. Now, what can we say about Floyd Mayweather Jr. ..., hmmm... he acts and talks like his dad, his uncle trainer is a woman beater. What else can we attribute to him.... oh yes, he talks a lot, he says he is the best boxer in the world, all the road leads to him, he is the best, he's the most intelligent boxer, he can do anything in the ring. Who then can you trust?
It's stupid when people talk about Pacquiao's opponents as negatives. I bet all day on boxing. Pacquiao was the underdog for second Morales, first Barrera, first Marquez, +420 against Oscar (4-1 underdog), and slight underdog against Hatton. In all these fights people were expecting Pacquiao to lose. How then is it that he isn't fighting quality fights. They are all calculated risks for max gain/min risk, just like every other boxer out there. If Mayweather fought Pac, I would bet on Money cause the odds are close and Money is a bigger, more skillful guy. I would like to see Pac knock him out tho. I'll make note never to read a Salvador article, but Pac fans shouldnt be so defensive. I'm pretty sure everyone (even pac haters) know that MAnny (although not entirely perfect) is loved more than Money because he allows himself to be.
Sifufor, you did an excellent rebuttal. I don't see how Salvador can answer back except with more hatred and irrational thoughts. You put into words what many others cannot do and so get frustrated. Thanks! By the way, is "sifufor" a code for Sifu 4, which is Karate Black belt 4th degree? I picked it up because I am sifu 4 too. Anyway, keep up the good works!
Actually i am not a Pac Hater but Pac fans twist things and i think they are dangerous. Pac Man is a brawler and thats what u call boxing and to us true boxing fans thats what we call violence. Floyd is not a boring fighter but a smart boxer. Smoovone knows about boxing. Pac fans are dangerous and the only boxer they know is Pac Man .
What is more astounding than Manny's improvement in the last 5 years was it took only 2 years for him to win more awards than Floyd Jr. It only took 2 years for Manny to get more endorsements than Floyd has EVER gotten. It only took Manny 2 years to surpass Floyds accomplishments and named the best P4P in the last 2 years. And it took Manny only 2 years to be in the cover of Time Magazine...not even Floyd got that kind of notoriety. And finally, it only took 2 years for Manny to be named Fighter of the Decade by BWAA. Not Floyd jr. I'm sure that is why Floyd's panties is all bunched up. The bottomline, it only took Manny 2 years to become a worldwide phenomenon and a worldwide superstar. Also, Manny's countless charities and donations shows how he feels about helping people in need. He gives so much that people who are very close to him are scared he might just give it all away. He has helped build schools, hospital, clinics, and other countless charity endeavors. While Floyd's foundation basically consist of giving sandwiches to the 200 homeless people 3 times a year. Finally, one boast, brags, trash talks and an ego maniac. While the Manny, doesn't say anything harsh, honors his country and God. Manny isn't motivated by money or fame. He gives all his glory to God, family, countrymen and boxing fans. Floyd says he is the greatest of all time. While Manny says he is just an ordinary fighter. Humility and humbleness truly describes Manny Pacquiao to the TEE.
Dang this forum is hot!
LESTER is a loser just like Floyd himself. The fact that he writes anti-Pacquiao articles just about everyday only confirms he is a serial and demented writer in love with the lie that is Floyd Jr.
@Kawasaki, you are dumb. You said Japan don't know Pacquiao then why in the hell that you know him and you are Japanese. Hahaha, you are dumb. You are wasting food and oxygen. c'mon do harakiri for your peoples sake.
Lester Salvador was the dude who Cotto ask to watch Sex and the City ahahahaha. Lester Salvador is a fag. Obviously he was abuse by his uncle when he was a kid or by his father. hahaha. Floyd Mayweather is a coward, he's using xyclocaine and now he is asking for a blood test what a coward. Why didn't he ask that in the Juan Manuel fight. He's just scared. Floyd is the worst boxer all hype but no fight. All who are Floyd fans are just Moron or has also been abused by their parents coz they pity the guy floyd who was abused by his father and uncle.
@kawasaki, your comment against my country is not funny. You got to remember, there are scores that still needed to be settled between Japan and Philippines. You better not show your uncircumcise face in the philippines if you don't want to get skinned.
Diamond, I second your observation. This aint no Japanese. Boxing is not even a big sport in Japan. This is some sorry ass black or maybe latino writer who thinks he can fool Pacfans!! We aint born yesterday!! And yes we all watch boxing way way before Pacquiao was Pacquiao.
ABOUT KAWASAKI:: please guys don't be fools this guy is NOT JAPANESE! there is NO openly known steroid abuse in Japan by boxers or any other athletes! just look at the scandals in sumo when some of them were caught using drugs: THEY WERE PERMANENTLY BANNED! so his statements are complete bogus hoping to trick you into drinking his drivel. Seems to me "Kawasaki" is a black guy with grade 6 education whose only Japanese vocabulary is Kawasaki. そうdじゃないですかやばぬじぬ？！
EXCELLENT article by a reasonable writer making rational statements and backing them up with actual evidence. Far too intelligent for most of the monkeys reading this forum though. The loss is theirs.
Mr. Salvador: Please don't think no one loves you. SmoovOne, for one had professed his undying support. You guys, your a such a sweet couple. We hope to see you down the aisle. AHHHH, simply charming. AHHHHH and AHHHHH. Sincerly: AHHHHHH
i think allot of people belittle pac , due to the face that , his improvement has seemed to come out of nowhere, as he was technically a one handed fighter who used to lose balance and get into bad positions. What you have to remember is he was still winning more than he lost against future hall of famers and he was doing it with one hand and less all round boxing skill than his opponents. Winning on speed, power and a willingness to mix it up. Now if you watch his balance has improved, his speed and power , his main weapon years ago, has only gotten better, and he has a great right hand to go with that great left. Mannys skills today are far superior from the manny of old. Unlike mayweather who was skilled to the backteeth when he started. So people bringin up fights from six years ago as a point of proving manny is not that great today doesnt make much sence. He was good enough to win most fights back then and is now improved and become the legendary fighter that freddie knew he could.
smoovone, tich and the rest of you pac haters are irrational retarded lumps of batshit. 1. if one loss makes you washed up then pac should have been washed up over ten years ago. 2. theres only been one catchweight and that was only two measly pounds for cotto, hardly enough to drain him, as you will see cotto himself hasnt even used that fucking excuse. 3.You say he doesnt fight people at their natural weight?? you will find it is actually FLoyd who will not fight people at the correct weight. Not only did he make Hatton come up to welterweight to face him he then brought Marquez up many divisions to welterwieght to face him.(Mayweather also came in heavy against marquez), so basically unlike when pac beat these two fighters at their perfect wieght, mayweatherss victories carry a massive asterix. 4. Pac was coming up two divisions and 4 divisions within an amazing amount of time when he fought ODLA at welterweight, wheather ODLH was drained or not does not change the fact that pac was brave enough to come up suddenly and fight a much bigger man , something mayweather would never have the balls to do. 4. who gives a fuck if pac sold stolen ciggarettes when he was a fucking kid. He was living in true slums not the fake ghettos of hip hop wannabes like mayweather and his bullshit crew of jokers. Who knows what floyd did as a kid anyway, if his family is anything to go by he did allot of bad. FLoyd was recently linked to a las vegas shooting, his parents and uncles have all been to jail for vairous drugs charges , so this point is a joke. conclusion- manny pacquaio has come up to fight naturally much bigger fighters and iced them all. Mayweather has brought up smaller fighters (except for oscar) of less talent then pac while avoiding men such as cotto and won generallly on decision. This seems to irk mayweather supporters that a new name has become known as the face of boxing in the world of not just boxing fans but sports fans worldwide and as such they feel they need to belittle the talents and achievements of pac while ignoring the facts of his feats. The fact that these people baselessly accuse him of drugs is a sign that they too marvell at his acheivements but scramble to find illegal for such superhuman performances , as they have never seen such brilliance before. Mayweather fans are the biggest pac fans out there , they just wont admit it.
1) Motto: Pac - “Hard training then the fight is easy.”; "When the going gets tough, the Tough get going". Mayweather - "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day". 2) Boxing Status: Mayweather - claims to be the best p4p boxer this year and the past decade; he says he is not the greatest of all time (i.e. likely Robinson), but rather the best of all time (What??? whats the difference - the guy is into hallucinagens). Pacquiao - rated by independent organizations such as ESPN, Ring Magazine, SportsIllustrated/CNN, Yahoo, etc as the no. 1 p4p currently and the best for decade 2000 (i.e. earned the hard way, Pac gets nod from practically all the key boxing media sources/organizations)
Kawasaki, You arrogant prick. You think you can conquer asia with your sumurai. Have you watched the videos showing how your arrogance transformed your country to hell and killed lots of innocent civilians. Pacman destroyed most of your known boxers. So get a grip before you lose your head due to ignorance. Or I'll fxxk you in the ASS you idiot.
You forget Ledwaba, Morales, Barrera, larios.. pacquiao's run to take out the Mexican legends after he got his title from ledwaba was what earned him a shot against de la hoya and was what catapulted him to stardom Pacquiao has already cleaned out the featherweight division. Nobody seems to remember or know this because they've only been on the bandwagon since the de la hoya fight.
odh, cotto agreed to the terms of their fights, and lost. Just like hatton and marquez had to fight above of their weight classes to get in the ring with mayweather. and mayweather didnt even respect marquez weight request. The entire catchweight controversy is nonsense, fighters have been going up and down for decades for the money fights. End the hate.
So its like this.... Before the fight Dela Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto were just too big and too much for Pacman. I even remember Dela Hoya's comment that he's afraid of what we might do to Pacman (an obvious indication of his superiority). They all signed the contract and prepared for that fight for 3 months. But after Pacman destroyed these supposed to be overwhelming fighters then all of a sudden they became washed-up fighters. We'll Fxx? all of you if you're thinking like this. Its either ur just kids or dont have balls to man up to what is correct Secondly, Let the boxing athletic sanctioning bodies do their job. We can speculate all we want but at the end of the day you want something done then SUBMIT your request to these organization. You want something done lay it on the ground. Make it official and the right thing than just badmouthing. Money talks bullxxxt walks. Unfortunately some of you guys such as Lester "moron" Sakvador are world class BULLXXXtters.
Kawasaki, you are so full of yourself- you mf##bitch the very reason US drops A bomb on you is bec of guys like you with misplaced race superiority.
I am a Puerto Rican and we love Manny Pacquiao. I am ashamed of Lester.
@kawasaki: you can't judge other countrie's practice by merely comparing it to your own country. Investigate and get your facts straight. Pacquiao has been tested more than you probably brush your teeth in Japan. And remember - your great granfathers raped our great grandmothers by bayoneta and guns, but Filipinos slaughtered most of Japanese (your ancestors) in World War II by hands and knives. Philippines soil are fertilized by Japanese blood. Yes, that's right, go ask your grandfathers or go read the history for yourself. By the way, thing to add in your knowledge, Kawasaki is a cheap brand in the Philippines - We prefer HONDA and TOYOTA because of their quality. @SmoovOne: Philippines is a poor country but we have pride and smart. We will never take your offer even we will starve to death if we know there's a string attached to that. My suggestion to you is go watch a dozen of youtube videos about Mayweather and Pacquiao first then listen to your conscience if you have one. If after all you still can't decide who's doing the right thing, you can consult your mom or dad probably. @JASON: Please listen to yourself. Hear what you are actually saying. Then look into the mirror. @LESTER SALVADOR: First, you can actually tell if the writer has something in between their ears from the first two paragraphs of their article. Second, there's two types of writers - one is investigative supported by facts, while the other one is just merely biased opinion. Yours are all opinion. Nothing has basis. Well here's my personal opinion - please do yourself a favor by not writing anymore, because you don't sound credible and very obvious you're one of those writers using PACQUIAO's name to get a hit in your site. You are writing hate article for PACQUIAO to create artificial webhits which will be good for your pocket and that's the bottom line. Therefore, you are putting food on your table by using PACQUIAO's name. What a shame, you're just like a fly on top of a bull (that lives by eating it's sh*t) and yet you're more proud of yourself. I would bet you will never get any response if you write a different article other than PACQUIAO. @Sifufor: Your article is very good. I can actually tell that you are putting proper diligence, effort and time before you write. Your name will be remembered.
Pac may be humble and all that good STUFF, but pacfans are a whole other story. They are the most racist sports fans I have ever came across in my life. I feel like I'm talking to the KKK when I read their posts. So their actions have spilled over on Pac unfortunately. Now I just want to see him get his head handed to him so we can send his wishy washy behind runnin back to PI with his tail tucked between his legs. FEEL ME? I no like that guy no more. Arum, Roach,Pac and his racist fans can suck my...I will laugh if Clottey smashes Pac on March 13. Floyd is gonna take Mosley out, don't worry about that. Roach told Mosley he was "too good" for Pac, but now that Floyd is fighting Mosley all the sudden Pac is interested in fighting Mosley. Runnin from drug tests while claiming to be the greatest and claiming Floyd is afraid of you, coming up with all these catchweights and excuses...Honorable...HA hahahahaha.
honda is way better than kawasaki!!!!hahahahaha
floyd came two pounds over the agreed weight when he fought marquez...
hey tich or should i say tick...how come you failed to mention that floyd made hatton come up to 147lbs. when they fought? not fair either, was it? or thay floyd came two pounds over the agreed weight...
Hey Kawasaki, do you think Pacquiao is using steroids? Seems to me if he is innocent, he would jump to prove it by taking a few "random" tests.
