There's a lot of respect threads going out there to Erik Morales right now and almost nothing going out to Pacquiao respect wise. Don't get me wrong, I love Morales and will miss him deeply. But I just find it fucked up that Morales get's KO'd and the sympathy and respect come pouring out by the dozens and Pacquiao barely gets a mention.
Instead all I hear is "Juarez would KO Pacquiao" or "Pacquiao needs to fight Valero" or "Raheem is better than Pacquiao". I'm not saying you have to love Pacquiao but goddamn respect the man, he's done a lot thus far and his fights are always entertaining.
So what more does he have to do to get your respect? Beat Valuev?!
thats a good fight but i think pac handles him easy valerois really just a puncher with ok technique
if valero has technique then pac is a technical master :D
Manny DOES NOT NEED Barrera, or even JMM for that matter.
Those fights are old news and Barrera is an old fighter. The JMM fight is semi-interesting but things have def cooled off since their last encounter. That was one of my favorite fights.
But he needs to move on, I know that the Guzman fight wouldn't bring the cash that a MAB fight would bring but it's a different look.
The Valero fight won't happen because it's wayyy to high risk, low reward. No one, No One outside of hard-core boxing fans know who Edwin Valero is. And with his power, it's not even worth risking.
Guzman is the fight that makes sense, maybe a HBO show against Humberto Soto or even Rocky Juarez as well.
I don't think a move to 135 would be beneficial either.
And by the way, keep Pac as far away from Acelino Frietas as possible. Trust me.
El Terrible is hanging up his gloves, hence the appreciation. People outside of England didn't give a rat's ass when Hamed gave up boxing.
Btw, I wonder where the Hamed nuthuggers are? They used to say he would put MannyPac 6 feet under haha! :D
pacquiao only needs a barrera and jmm rematch plus a last fight with valero (if he still continues the streak by that time) then its done.
no need to move to lightweight coz imho he has done enough. its time that he takes care of his family and health.

this happens for the same reason behind all the "pbf is a bitch" threads after the baldomir fight.
pacquiao has always been a nightmare to mexican fighters in his weight class.....he is in the history of being the first and last fighter to let eric kiss the canvass.....in fairness to eric he is a good scientific boxer.....but he is now on the downhill of his career.....while pacman is still on his way up.....eric has no antidote of knocking the pacman down.....he even said he knows the tink in the armor of pacman?as evident here

but he just forget that stamina and power is more superior than his so called tecnique and style......de ja vu eric......
I said months ago a 3rd fight can not help Pacquiao. Anytime you're favored to win by a decent amount then a loss can hurt you much more than a win can help you. I mean, props to him for winning the last 2 but anybody who isn't blinded knows this wasn't the same Morales as... let's say 3-4 years ago. It's the scrutiny you have to accept if you're the favorite.
I dont know where youve been,but theres been threads praising pac year round.And yes there were threads prasing manny after the fight,check "the move over mayweather,manny is p4p #1" as an example.
Are you surprised there are morales threads? A few of them are pinoy members trying to be humble about pacs win and a few of them are just goodbye threads,it is the end of a great p4p fighter afterall.
i think its the fans.
Some (and i really mean some) of the pinoy fans here make it a bit hard to express like for paquiao.
i kno there is haters, but taking Ferocity and Xcaret out of the equation, there isnt many haters to pac, in the other hand we have quite a few casual and regular pinoys who make it very and i repeat very hard to express like for Manny.
the same reason holmes didnt get credit for beating ali a great fighters time came to an end, it didnt have that much to do with pacquo, raheem was slapping eric from piller to post, thats when you knew it was over for eric, i think pac is a great fighter number 2 lblb on my list but he beat a washed up fighter and history will remeber his last two morales fights as just that
Pacs already accomplished a great legacy...I think people just want to see him kick the shit out of Marco again, and see if he can knockout Marquez this time around.
But, if he goes to Mexico, he will be arrested for being a serial killer
:crazy: :rofl: :haha: _____________________beg your pardon...ehem.

off course pacquia is a good fighter, i think that he has a lot of respect from his fans and morales fans too, just look at the tape of the fight, just amazing...
I know what you mean, I'm not taking it too seriously but I was just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of outpouring for Morales, like a million threads. And they all say the same shit BTW.
the evolution of this board changes, i can remember when floyd was being praised left and right by everyone and how gatti was ducking him, now look at whats happening, or before jones got KOed etc etc, its just the evolution of how things go
thats what you have to understand, people always tear down what is on top and what is popular before they appreciate it. again. whats said on here doesnt matter, what does it matter that a bunch of people who have no respect in the first place, dont respect you? this place is sheer entertainment and discussion, not legitmacy in the slightest, i wouldnt worry at all.

I'm sure he will, I'd just like to see him get a sliver of credit around here every now and then.
