He considers himself an American-Filipino, not a Filipino-American.
He's both American and Filipino.. to say he isn't American though is just stupid.
You may not be American because you're not a citizen, difference is, he is.
I'm also an American Filipino, difference is I was born in the USA, he was naturalized. Doesn't matter though.
I'm pretty sure he's proud to be Filipino, but he also has the pride of the red, white, and blue.
:ThinkingoMay snr wasn't the only one who thought that way... he just put it out there.. what started as an opinion, somehow became an accusation. smh
Opinion/Accusation, you can call it what you want. And who cares if other people thought that way.. THAT'S MY POINT.
Just like you said, quoting you. "he just put it out there"
The moment he acted stupid, and starting lying and reciting every excuse in the book for not taking the drug test legitimized any gossip, hearsay or even jokes that he is taking PEDS.
pacquiao doesnt know how to act when asked about steroids, he even claims he doesnt know what it was which is just :rofl: it screams guilt and being curvballed into something he didnt want to talk about
So I guess your answer is
"no it didn't start when mayweather sr put it out there"
thx.
Basically the minute he said it you either thought
"I don't give a eff what he thinks I know Manny is clean"
or
"Damn.. he's right.. Manny has looked super human"
no one thought
"i don't care what he says and I don't care about the topic at all"
because you all do.
Okay sorry guys.. I didn't realize I was suppose to know when all of you STARTED thinking Manny was on something before I made this thread.
Sorry, didn't know I was suppose to be a mind reader. Only reason I asked "How many of you thought Manny was on PED's before Mayweather Sr. put it out there"
was because that's what I personally feel started it all. Yeah Manny's lame excuses (i'm a fan, and can admit they are VERY suspicious) escalated the suspicion..
BUT FOR ME.. Mayweather Sr accusing him of it is where it FIRST started. Even if you didn't believe what he said or you don't give a f*** what that man has to say. The minute he put it out there. YOU THOUGHT SOMETHING of it. So that's where it started.
Now whatever that something that popped into your head at that time is what i'm asking.
MOSLEY WOULD KO BERTO and everyone here KNOWS it and everyone here POSTS acknowledging it.
It's funny how posters on here ignore threads like this because oh em gee, it's using common sense, but they hate that when it comes to Pacquiao.
Mosley would be a 3 to 1 favorite at the LEAST against Berto and would KO or TKO him. It would not go the full 12 rounds, and yes again, MOST fans on here acknowledge that. So why..
Pacquiao Vs Berto?
And not just that. WHO THE FK IS BERTO? Mosley is a bigger name then JMM, Mosley is a bigger name then Berto, Mosley is a bigger name then Bradley/Alexander, Mosley is the best option.
re
What was the fight at again 144? I'm pretty sure Pac wouldn't mind settling at 144.
If you honestly believe Pac wouldn't annihilate Marquez at anything above 135 you're only fooling yourself.
re
Maybe because he didn't want to make excuses at the time and he was ASKED about the gloves.. not about testing making him weak.
But then in an interview on a Philippines news channel the interviewer ASKED him what was up with testing so close to the fight.. not trying to make excuses for him just stating facts so maybe people will see it different in THEIR EYES lol.
Oh and yeah
@horge my questions have been answered sort of but at the same time not really. All that article shows is his stance is what the rest of the worlds is.. "why not take the test if you're clean"
i was looking for something more.. was just wondering if he made any other comments
Out of the 3 options Pac has to fight right now, Berto seems to be the only one who "qualifies", yet no one hear gives him a shot and has Berto losing to Mosley lol, so what's the point?
re
After this post i'll be going back to being a lurker. I know there are trolls on every board but this is just ridiculous and this has got to be the worst thread ever.
Because 1) the guy's a troll, but 2) he actually believes what he says lol.
This is like comparing Peyton to Eli.
So this is like taking Valero (who equates to a 12 year old Pacquiao, skill wise and power, yeah son, I said it)
to Pacquiao how he is now. Yeah.. the older form would win.
Edit: And you guys make fun of other boxing forums, laughing my effin ass off.
You are a freakin moron if you think casual boxing fans know the name JM Marquez more than SS Mosley.
Bob Arum even said that as being one of the reasons they chose Mosley. No i'm not saying I listen to everything Arum says but I myself KNOW that Mosley is a bigger name and more recognizable name to the general public.
re
He didn't just use the blood making him weak excuse when the steroids issue came up. He said it in an interview in the Philippines when he went back there after the fight.
re
I love how people think this isn't going to do well on PPV. I'm pretty sure we all know 100% it won't do better than Mosley Vs Mayweather, but I bet it'll break 1mil ppv buys.
If you don't believe Pac is that big of a draw by himself then your kidding yourself. No.. it's not just going to be Filipino's buying this and not just "Casual" boxing fans. Die hards are going to buy this because they know they're watching an ATG in Pacquiao.
Deny it all you want. Once the numbers come out it will be over 1m.
