By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao is tired of the nickname “Mexicutioner” that has been given to him by lovesick fans and he doesn’t want that moniker stuck on him.
Pacquiao said to ****** “I do not like the nickname ‘Mexicutioner. I love the Mexican boxing fans and that name does not reflect my true feelings about Mexico and its people.”
It sure took him a long time to set his fans straight about this, as it’s not a good nickname for a politician like Pacquiao to be having.
The nickname was wrong from the very start, though, because Pacquiao was hardly someone that was beating one Mexican after another when you get right down to it. Pacquiao was beaten by a Mexican Erik Morales by a 12 round decision, and Pacquiao’s two fights with Juan Manuel Marquez, another Mexican, are fights that many boxing fans felt that Marquez won. And Pacquiao’s win over Marco Antonio Barrera came late in his career when Barrera had already deteriorated from his wars with Morales. And the win over Antonio Margarito came after Margarito was already beaten by Shane Mosley and a long layoff. Margarito wasn’t the same fighter he was in 2008 when he got around to fighting Pacquiao – at a catchweight – in 2011.
As far as Pacquiao’s other wins over Mexican fighters, they weren’t huge talents and were guys that a lot of fighters could beat. It wasn’t a big deal that Pacquiao could beat them.
So what we have here is Pacquiao getting beaten by Morales and Marquez. That tells me that Pacquiao never deserved the Mexicutioner nickname to begin with. He’s more of a victim against good Mexican fighters than any kind of Mexicutioner in my view.
Marquez, Morales and Barrera, have all ducked Soto too.
Soto destroys Pac, JMM, EM, MAB, all one right after the other, back-to-back.
Thats why they all avoid him, cause he has a very strong left hook.
JMM, EM, MAB still fight now, cause they handpicked easy fights like against Rocky Juarez, Altidon, etc.
Juan Diaz is a tough banger that could smother Pac, which is why Pac ducked him too.
can't tell if trolling or extremely stupid

Lolz. Agree. Soto is a first ballot HOF. Just give it some time and for sure he'll be on the discussion for ATG.

JMM knocked Diaz out
Soto fights bums and ducks everyone.
Wrong. Soto is a dangerous, difficult intelligent boxer and he's a proven warrior.
Not on Pacquiao's level though- especially now that Pac's a full blooded welterweight.
Okay, Brother. I will listen to you. Soto is dangerous and intelligent who is a proven warrior too.
While he was still highly active and trying to make himself a household name i'm sure he didn't mind the monicker...after accomplishing that and being in politics, he's trying to step away from...I guess u can say..."Violent" monicker!! Totally understandable even tho I like it!!
Pac was never a "mexicutioner" cause he ducked Mexican, Humberto Soto many times, since 2006.
Pac also ducked Mexican, Juan Diaz many times too.
Pac only fought Old Mexican fighters, not the prime tough Mexican fighters.
someone isnt butthurt
