1. a murderer, esp. one who kills a politically prominent person for fanatical or monetary reasons.
A murderer. Of course, when calling Pac The Mexican "Assassin", its done metaphorically. But this is implying that Manny has completely dominated and destroyed his iconic Mexican opposition. But upon further inspection, has he really?
Pac's first encounter with a Mexican legend, MAB, did result in a complete domination and all out embarrassment of the legend, but his next fight, he failed to replicate the same kind of performance against JMM, who at the time, wasn't proven to be on the same level of MAB. Pac dropped him 3 times in the first round only to allow JMM to outbox/class Pac up till the end of the fight. Whether Pac won that or not is irrelevant because he did not destroy Marquez. Thats not very "assasin" like. Then the next legend to take a shot at Pac, Erik Morales, LEGITIMATELY defeats Pacquiao in a fight where Erik went toe to toe with the Pacster. Of course, Pac's later rendezvous with both Morales and Barrera resulted in complete annihilation of them, but for anyone to not recognize that these war ravaged fighters were already quite past their prime would be just...well, groupie-esque for Pac.
