Has any fight been this hyped?

Greatest thing about this fight is that we know both guys will show-up ready and give us everything they've got. There will be no excuses about training camp interruptions or some other "problem" preparing. The hype will be the hype, and the fight has all the makings of a classic. In either case, expect to a quick rematch, even if one guy totally out-guns the other.

Morales-Pac not really hyped, yet Morales-Pacman doesn't come close to many truly "hyped" fights. However, it could prove to be the most hyped Feather bout. If you want hype, try Holmes-Cooney, Frazier-Ali I, just for starters.

To be honest, Pacquaio will never get the recognition of a popular heavyweight champ. It's unfair, but that's life. The recognition of being a popular featherweight/ superfeatherweight champ is enough. Let's leave the HWs alone.

Sorry Tracylee, I just get annoyed when people try to act all high and mighty when they don't even know a good fight when they see one. Pac-Morales is going to be a great fight and I don't see why people have to bash on it just because they are tired of hearing about it. Keep ythe opinions to yourselves because all of us on the internet don't give a damn about what criticism( I mean, WTF does e-respect mean anyways) People like jack the Rippuh probably used to get picked on all the time. Actually, I've seen a pic of Jack the Rippuh and he looks like a complete geek. Bet he pulls alot of girls. no need to apologize to me..you didnt insult me! Jack may be alot of things (dont know for sure exactly what though :D ) but he's never struck me as high and mighty..anybody that would use the avatar he was using a while back to honor a lost bet may appear 'high', but in no way 'mighty'!! Trust me, you would have had to have seen it to believe it!! :eek: I understand most see no need to 'respect' total strangers..but if I want my posts to be taken serious and my opinions to even be considered instead of laughed at (since I am female) then I do try and show atleast a little respect for the other posters as human beings, if nothing else, even if I disagree..I cant do otherwise and expect anyting in return. Now if I came here and posted, just to force my opinion down everyones throat and say to hell with them, then it wouldnt matter. But, I actually like the "feedback" from alot of the people here, and I've learned a few things I didnt know about the sport from some of them too...I cant have any of that happen if I'm constantly insulting and cursing and calling others lives "pathetic"..if you get my meaning. That was what I meant about a little respect for your fellow poster. As for Jack looking like a geek, well, I dont know or care what he looks like..he's always been nice and fun to debate with far as I was concerned anyway..and if he was picked on as a kid then thats just sad..I wouldnt wish that type of shit on anyone here..not while theyre kids, and none of that really has anything to do with the posters opinion, I dont think :confused: I do agree with you about the fight being a damn good one though..cant wait personally!!!

Dude he did say: Has any other fight on BoxingScene been as hyped as Morales/Pacquiao? Yeah thanks Ultimate. Achilles I was just talking about this forum exclusively. I know that there have been plenty of fights that have blown this out of the water as far as hype in the public eye. Sorry for the confusion.

Plenty of fights have been more hyped. This fight might be making a big deal on this forum but it's not like the American media is going after it like they did Cooney-Holmes, Bowe-Golota II, Ali-Frazier (or Ali-Foreman for that matter) or the Bower-Holyfield fights. Those were HUGE fights, and I've only listed modern fights so far. If you go back to when boxing was big you'd find a lot of super hyped fights. Louis-Schmeling II for one, and going very far back Jack Johnson vs. Jim Jeffries was huge for all the wrong reasons. A lot of the Dempsey title defenses were world news. The results made the front page headlines. To be honest, Pacquaio will never get the recognition of a popular heavyweight champ. It's unfair, but that's life.

So no worries dude. :cool:

By just reading all these posts, whether they make sense or not, already gives me the answer why this fight is the most hyped up- EVER! Everyone is soooo passionate about the fight, the boxers, and everything that has anything to do with it. Peace!

Has any other fight on BoxingScene been as hyped as Morales/Pacquiao? I can't remember one since I've been here or been viewing the forums. DLH/Hopkins was kind of hyped up but not on this scale where straight bets and nationality are such a large part of the whole scene. I think it probably just has to do with the growing number of people at this site. Holla back.I've never been to ANY site that nuthugs Pac more than here. That said, he's on a roll and kicking butt but I think Morales is too big a mouthful for him to digest. He finally has gone up one weight class too much. Morales closes the club on him and his fans.

I wont mind it when guys like you, jomapac, fist-fest, miron lang, kepsy, chups, etc...talk shit because you guys are capable of having logical thoughts and making sane claims about your fighter. It's the people that just sit here all day and say of Pacquiao, "Manny's two fisted punching power will kill Morales in 3 rounds. The first mistake Morales makes the fight is over! Morales is a decent fighter but Manny is god!" It's those guys I'll have the problem with. I can take the flak from you fuckers though. :D :boxing: Thanks, we always try to be logical fuckers :D

Sorry Tracylee, I just get annoyed when people try to act all high and mighty when they don't even know a good fight when they see one.

Actually, I've seen a pic of Jack the Rippuh and he looks like a complete geek. Bet he pulls alot of girls. Damn chill mayne it was just his opinion. It's an open forum and he's welcome to express his opnion just like you and I are. Not all people get hype for the same fights. Maybe he could care less about the fight and is sick of hearing about it...this is my thread and I dont even give a shit that he said it. I understand that it pissed you off amigo, but calm down with the insults...a simple, "well if you don't like it you can leave" would have had the same effect. I'm trying to keep this particular Morales/Pacquiao thread insult free.

Damn, whats with the insults? It's so damn not necessary, and nobody wants to debate with someone that does that! Its hard to take you serious when you resort to that type of crap anyway. I just dont get the utter lack of respect when debating with your fellow poster...guess I never will! :confused: Sorry Tracylee, I just get annoyed when people try to act all high and mighty when they don't even know a good fight when they see one.

Boo hoo. Who made you Mr. Important? Sorry, but you're pathetic life means nothign to everyone else, so the fact that YOU don't want to hear about a rematch is meaningless. If it is a good fight, then yes, I would like to see a rematch. And so does probably everyone else. It's just too bad that you're a dumbass retard who doesn't even know good boxing when it hits him in the face. Peace. Damn, whats with the insults?

you see thats what i dont get i thought it was Paquiao Vs Moralez. Not Mexico Vs The Philiphin islands (sorry if i mispelled it) and for real come on it pissed me off when some asswipe says "Pac Man is gbonna knock him down in the 1st round pac man is the best boxer ever" Or" "erik is gonna kill him he is gonna kick his ass all the way to the islands" come on guys serusly think before you speak its not gonna be that one sided of a fight. I agree. Theyre both gonna give it their all..Erik has to redeem himself, and Manny wants to prove something ( I'm guessing). It wont be one sided at all..if it was, we all wouldnt be so excited about seeing it to begin with!

You're not the only one tired of hearing about it.. I just can't wait for it to be over... I really hope there is a clear winner in the end so I won't have to worry about having to hear about a rematch.. Boo hoo. Who made you Mr. Important?

since man i guess its part of the excitement for some, but the nationality thing just kills it, like i want to objective about this fight, and then somone's like "ALL YOU MEXICANS GOING DOWN",and i didnt even like barrera, but its like...fuck, i hate you now. :P keep that shit to a minimum! because already you can tell that nobody who wins, that kinda shits gonna blow up even worse afterwards!

Um same here though come on, as annoying as they can be, it's good for boxing. It seems Manny has opened a huge door of viewers for boxing in the US with the filipinos. I myself am not Filipino though love watching Manny duke it out. I can say though after showing my friend who is Filipino afew of Manny's fight, he as well has become a huge boxing fanatic and isn't just Pacquiao giddy. It's like this that boxing can grow bigger. :)

Bro, clear winner or not, controversial or not, it would not be the end. Believe me, it'll be the start of another round of MORE howling, MORE growling, MORE bitching, MORE "I told you's" from the outside protagonists - the Pinoy and Mexican fans!!! :D Using Tracylee's words: OH, BROTHER!! :p Oh my God...could you imagine a draw?!? that would be terrible, if only over the feedback at this site! I will be rooting for Morales, but if he wins, I wont be in any of the "yeah, yeah, told ya..Pac is one dimensional, etc.." cause I now know differently. I do think Eriks's chin is much better than some give him credit for, therefore no knocking him out. I'm beginning to think it'll go the distance, and regardless it should be an amazing battle, cause neither guy believes in backing down, and neither one cares much for defense! :D
