World Class. Its hard enough to fight in America and be from another Country and be a household name. Manny not only did it in America but he can Draw crowds in a lot of countries . What you do out the ring is just as important as what you do out side the ring.
May i ask why? :rolleyes:.
Stupid catchweight homey. Pac should be defendin at 140 if he ain't goin all the way up to 147. And Cotto should be rematchin SSM for new lineage at WW, not fightin a fukkin JWW.
That is understandable. Its respectable to repersent your fighter or country. Its like that fine line. That responce is normal in all sports. {exp] Yankees Red Sox! This sport is Boxing. It defines fighting to win. So debates tend to get more heated than normal. Hype is what sells the fight.
