Excerpt from article on "dis-crediting" Pac's recent success.....

[fightfan_79]

Intersting take from Bryan Brennan - Writer for ********boxing.....

When a fighter looks as good as Pac-man has his past few fights, it's easy for people to discredit his opponents, but it's always after he destroys them that they are discredited, not before. Ricky Hatton looked like a new man when he stopped Paulie Malignaggi, now people talk about him as if he were an average club fighter and it’s all because of how Pac-man ended the fight. Weight drained, washed up, shell of a fighter, these are all the things Oscar De La Hoya was AFTER he fought Pacquiao, NOT before. I am finding a common theme to Pacquiao's opponents lately! Even when he fought Morales a few pounds ago, Morales beat Pacquiao fair and square in their first fight, then suddenly was washed up over night for their next two. Is it out of the question that Pacquiao is one of those special athletes that raises his game as he continues his career? He is only thirty, it's not like he is an old dog that can't learn new tricks,

Pretty good prospective.....don't really care for discussion.....just wanted to get this out there for the haters....I'll try to find some positivity for ALL FIGHTERS....

is that a huge ass burrito?

I agree with Hatton but come on man really?
Oscar was no where near what he was and you know it
We didnt say that before because we thought he would enter the fight with a heart beat but he obviously didnt.

It's called the Western Superiority complex. I think boxing, which is primarily dominated by Westerners, as a whole, just can't believe or can't accept, or even worse, won't accept, that a small Asian man from a small island called the Philippines have done so much in so little time. His accomplishment will always be undermined because of what he is and where he came from.

How could a former flyweight from a 3rd world country destroy boxing legends and boxing records with so much ease and confidence? Shouldn't they be at the back of the line? They have no business being a guest on an American late night TV show or in the cover of Time Magazine (ASIA).

Why do they call him midget, is it because he's from Asia? I've never heard anyone calling Marquez, Mayweather, Hatton, or Cotto midgets and they're not any taller than Pac? Hmmm. Racial or No Racial. Hmmmm.
