Time Magazine To Do a Feature on Manny Pacquiao

[boxingfan76]

You just certified your idiocy.

I didn't post anything "negative" about the article. I am saying that there's NOTHING about the story that is verified or real.

Questioning something is not negativity. It is intelligence. As Ronald Reagan said about the Russians: "Trust... but verify".There's a reason why audit departments exist.

No need to respond. I won't be coming back into this thread. You're morons.

oh god now he or she's quoting reagan...............

Anyone who doesn't want a big time boxing article in a major league publication is not a real boxing fan PERIOD.

he was in that time 100 piece, i saved it, its one of the few times in my life we will EVER see a boxer in that light in a pretigous publication, i was suprised NOBODY made mention of it until i did earlier in the thread

[Alibata]

It's good for boxing. If you're a true fan of the sport you wouldn't care who it was, as long as a figher got such an opportinuty.

Hector id probably crying about this. So what does that say about him

[Pullcounter]

okay pac a great fighter but if you watch second fight and honestley feel he won then thats bull a sorry judge gave pac that fight pac got his ass pacd! no question pac lost that fight but i understand gotta take what you got only one paciyow.

pac beat jmm 2x douchebag

uhhh i think, wait, i know thats just straight bull**** brah.


The reason fraud jr will never be a icon is b/c he's a b*tch. He doesnt fight enough nor fight the right fighters nor have exciting fights to become a icon.

There are too many sports for black fighters to compete with?

What a weak excuse brah.

How can lebron james ever become a icon with all this competition? How can tiger woods become a icon w/ all this competition?


Its not about race or being in america w/ a lot of competition. Its about doing things that are worthy that force people to have to take notice of you.


Beating old oscar, castillo 2x, corrales, hatton, & gatti is not good enough.


Choosing to fight a career featherweight when your a welterweight is not iconic.

Its a b*tch ass move brah.

i agree, for floyd to get the kinda attention pac is getting, floyd needs to fight everyone and KO them all.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Not only does floyd not have the personality to be a time influential person, but he hasnt and will not do anything influential to be warranted that, no fighter in america will for some time. think about what sports and atheletes mean to americans, and what they mean to someone in a 3rd world country is my point, good lord, is my position so difficult to understand?

and i said that BLACK atheletes in particular have to compete with OTHER SPORTS in which BLACK ATHELTES are at the TOP OF thus the marketshare is smaller. Compare lebron james, dwight howard, kobe, wade, mcnabb etc to Chad Dawson, Floyd Mayweather, Jermaine Taylor, you starting to get my picture? Goddamn. To be influential you have to do more than fight or beat the best, you have to inspire and transcend the sport, not a single american boxer ****ing does this, THATS MY POINT. Do you not see beyond the scope of just "MAYWEATHER HASNT FOUGHT THE BEST" its more than that!

jermaine taylor is not good enough to beat the best & hasnt beaten the best.

fraud jr doesnt fight the best & he will leave the sport not fighting the best.


chad dawson is barely starting to make noise, he can be next big thing if he gets the fights, wins them, & in exciting fashion. IMO, he needs to move up to heavy & clean house.

U dont think the U.S. is starved for a great heavy? Arreola who is never starved is not the answer.


Lebron,kobe,tiger woods, tom brady (white guy), all are on their way to becoming icons b/c they fight the best & win. They cant cherry pick their fights like fraud jr.


Sugar ray leonard became a icon.

To say they cant be iconic or influential just b/c they are in america & black/or white is wrong. Stop trying to make excuses for fraud jr.

[paylapz83]

jmm should be on the cover too becuz he already beat pac twice!

moron,........if yournin planet mars maybe.....but here in earth theres no jmm beats pac once nor twice......you know he beat manny twice???awesome!!but,maybe you dont know how many times pac put his ass on the canvas??/???its time for you to wake up and search for that ok?/./././.??stop dreaming man.....its bad 4 u...maybe ur dreams may turn into nightmare....

Bro do you even watch boxing? JMM could easily be called the best p4p fighter right now. Most people thought he beat Pac in the rematch.

pac beat jmm 2x

[mrosborne]

and he never will, floyd will never be an icon in his own country, manny is. When was the last time any black american boxer had the true support of the entire country? or any american boxer period? The majority of the country just doesnt have it anymore to get behind our boxers like that. There is a reason why nationality and ethnic differences get played up in fights more than anything else these days. being american isnt good enough anymore.

That's an easy question to answer dude. The last time a black boxer had the entire support of America was Sugar Ray Leonard. If you are older than 25 you would have remembered seeing Sugar Ray on Wheaties boxes, on Dr Pepper commericals, and he was constantly on TV.

You are right though about the entire U.S. not support any black boxers, but they aren't embracing ANY boxers of ANY race currently.
