Truth is that I've been following boxing alot longer than Pacquiao's international presence and the idea that Pinoys are going to fade from interest in the sport is just absurd. I laughed really hard when people said that A) Pacquiao was going to lose and his loss would chase me from this site and B) That if Pacquiao lost, all my interest would cede from the sport.
It's all ignorance I tell ya.
Hitting the nail right on the head. Operational word is IGNORANT!
There will come a time that we all know happens. Alot of pinoy fans started following boxing when pacman's emergence came about after the barrera fight, and there is nothing wrong with that.
But with the flux of threads talking about "the great mexican hope" and "why cant mexican legends beat pacman"
There will come a time when a fighter will be out of his prime. Often times the signs wont be there, while someone is winning, KOing people left and right, we all hardly ever see it coming. But sometime..and in my gut i feel like it will be soon, at some point pacman will come out just like Morales did,...tired, older (fight wise) and look like he wont be all there. Some hungry young fighter will do to pacman just as he had done to barrera and morales.
You should enjoy your gloating/laughing now while you can, because as a die hard Tyson/Roy Jones fan, i will tell you right now, its one of the worst feelings in the world when it happens because you want to bieleve so bad it will never happen and your guy is the best, and with a guy like pac, a defeat in brutal fashion doesnt just damage him, but an entire country, and you had better be ready for the backlash on all your favorite internet stops when it happens. Because it happens to everyone, and you had better hope you have another boxing prospect to look at, because all this poking fun at mexicans is funny and all, but you better remember the playing field is tilted again once pacman retires, or he meets his match.
With pacs style, i just only see him going for so long until it all comes crashing down.
"The Great Mexican Hope" thread is a good thread.
When Pac gets old, he'll only get as fast/good as PRIME Barrera and PRIME Morales. Maybe that's wehn P{ac becomes 34 yr old.

lol, that doesn't make any sense cause Pacquiao doesn't have the technique Morales or Barrera has, but I have a feeling Pacquiao is going to retire before he starts to slow down.
