Sadly, greatness requires taking down heroes…and for some ******s on this board, manny’s taken down multiple heroes and that prevents them from giving props and appreciating what’s in front of them
Manny Pac deserves a ton of credit.

You really really need help. Stop. Talking.About. Floyd. This has nothing to do with him. Why did you even bring Floyd up?

I agree with that. But it's more than that, the idiots talking **** on Pac were not backing Oscar. They just are doing the usual hating for no good reason other than nationalism.Comment

And to answer your question, you're implying that posters are only discrediting Pacquiao because of racial bias, but I posted an example to add to your observation showing that it was not just from where you claim it was coming. Is that not right? I posted a quote, I mentioned nothing of Floyd, you did.Last edited by 2501; 12-08-2008, 01:40 PM.Comment

find me more than 4 thread's I've made about Floyd in the past 4 months. Anytime ANYONE mentions anything about Floyd, that person is automatically "obsessed" with Floyd

Um you posted a quote that had something to do with Floyd. And of course on the thread above there you are arguing with Flawless about Floyd vs. Pac's performance. Your posting history about Floyd is well documented.
LOL@you pretending I was a super Floyd freak and because of that I never gave Pac any credit before this. Find one post where I didn't give Pac credit before this. This should be fun.Comment

As usual the race trolls have been on here posting all kinds of crap about Manny for no reason, other than their own nationalist or racist agendas.
Here's some perspective:
Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao had 52 fights coming into this fight. He was known primarily as a brawler, a guy with a great punch who broke your will and destroyed you. I felt like JMM figured him out in their two fights together but the Knockdowns kept him from beating Manny. But in terms of boxing skill, JMM always seemed like the smarter fighter, the guy who could adjust his gameplan, stay on the outside and counterpunch.
The most interesting thing about this fight (and Manny's previous fight) was the he changed up his tactics. People don't understand how hard it in ANY sport, let alone a combat sport to change up your physical style. In any sport you have things that come natural. Some guys naturally are dunkers in baskteball, some guys are natural 3 point shooters, some guys are better driving up the lane etc. And when the going gets tough, when there are championship challenges, when your will is tested, it is incredibly hard to not revert to what is physically comfortable to you. In boxing it could be that you are drawn back into a brawl etc.
I have never seen a guy with this many fights who was a brawler, move up this many weight classes in a year, and all while doing it completely change his style up to a boxer/counterpuncher who uses his skill and head to destroy his opponents. The skill level being displayed in this fight vs. what he showed in the JMM fights is a quantum leap in improvement. And he wasn't fighting a scrub. You can say Oscar was shot or whatever, but he was still dangerous and way bigger than many. Manny was not just faster and more athletic, but he had a better gameplan and was the smarter fighter. He feinted to create openings, mixed up his straight leads bringing them in to the face, then the body, then firing them from outside Oscars guard when he saw Oscar adjusting.
His circling was incredible, his angles were smart, and most of all he adapted to anything Oscar tried to do. This is a different fighter after 50+ fights. Can you think of anyone else who has done that?
I think the "haters" and the trolls really need to think about this stuff before they spew their crap.Comment

because you're claiming only "mexicans" are discrediting Floyd. Who else has racial issues with the pinoy on this board. Don't play ******. I just provided an example and now you're getting your soft, satin panties in a bunch. And those are my favorite too. I'll post an example if you post the 4+ threads I've made about Floyd in the past 3 months.
You historically and always post the most about one of only 2 things:
1. Floyd
or
2. Perceived racism against Mexicans.
You always whine and cry every time anyone says ANYTHING that could be even about Mexicans that is not constant praise. And YOU are talking about soft satin panties?
Well I did post that one thread where you were immediately compelled to compare Floyd to Pac more than one post. Beyond that, your random 4 times in 4 months is a pretty arbitrary number isn't it?
Get a grip. I was not insulting all Mexicans. But there are people who are hating on Pac because of racial bias and nationalistic agendas and you expect me to take them seriously? **** off.Comment
