    Uh-oh, I smell an upset

    I like Pac, but all these stories of distractions, trouble making the weight, and finally, the LOOK IN HIS EYES in the weigh-in has convinced me that Pac will lose.

    I saw the same look in Tito's eyes just before he lost to Bernard.

      I feel that those "stories" are just that, stories.. if there's one thing I've noticed about Pac. fights, its that people ALWAYS have to pre-make excuses before the fight. Even for his ****ing tune-up fights they do this **** for god sakes.. oh no, Pacquioa was seen playing pool last night.. that means he wasnt in bed by his 9:30 bedtime

      Who gives a ****. The guy is a professional fighter on the top of his game and hes going to do his job. If he loses its because he got beat.

      That said, if yall are predicting Barerra than fair enuff, though I got Pacman by KO in 6.

        Did it ever occur to you that these "stories" are based on real, factual accounts?

        I don't blame you, you're not from the Philippines. In the PI, Pac is not just a boxer. He is a super-celebrity like no other. Think of George Bush, Donald Trump, Brad Pitt, MJ, Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa and Frank Sinatra all rolled into one.

        Fightig Barrera just isnt his top priority. Not with a guy of his stature.

          Yes it occured to me.. but I dont hear this kinda **** for any other fighter. I'm quite certain that fighters very very often have hicups in training, everything can't be perfect all they time. They fight on. It just came out the Nate Campbell was preparing to fight with a bruised rib, for instance, when his opponent couldnt make it do to visa problems.

            Name one time the media said MJ, Peyton Manning, or Tiger Woods were partying too much and not focused on a goal.

              Jeebus man comparing Campbell to Pac is shows how little you understand Pac's stature in the PI.

                I don't think that was his point.

                His point was as a professional you come to win and you can check the excuses at the door.

                If Nate can come into a fight with a serious injury then Manny can come into a fight where everyone is saying, "uh oh Manny's not focused."

                  I said, "all rolled together in one".

                  Is Tiger Woods into movies? Is MJ into Congress? Is Peyton Manning in a rock band? Is Mother Teresa playing in a baskebtball team that she owns?

                    Yes, that was the point exactly.
