Do you think Manny Pacquiao is strong mentally?

[ThunderWolf]

He is Mr. No Fear, and a small man with great Faith.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

And if not, how will this affect him if the Mayweather fight happens?

"The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight."

- Manny Pacquiao


I dont think he is mentally that strong if a simple blood test mentally weakens him, and I can see floyd mentally raping him with words. Floyd will get in his head and have him beat before the fight happens, in the ring Manny will take a physical beating, so mentally and physically I think floyd will take him apart step by step.

We all know Floyd is the most mentally strong fighter in the game and the smartest fighter ever.

the man started boxing professionally at 16 years of age at 106lbs although he would come in plenty of times under 100lbs all while living in abject poverty in a third world country. He left his home at 12 to live on the streets of the biggest city in the philippines.

No amateur background. unlike floyd.

No olympic pedigree. unlike floyd.

No uncles (two of them) & a father as professional boxers. unlike floyd.

No top rank's careful management to start his career. unlike floyd.

No living in the suburbs in the most powerful country in the world. unlike floyd.


Yet he became what he is today.



You think floyd would be floyd if he grew up under pac's dire circumstances?



You get your answer you ****ing *****?

The truth!^^^

[bojangles1987]

If he wasn't mentally strong, Pacquiao would never have become a third of the fighter he is. The fact he is where he is should tell you he is very mentally strong.

everyone has belief. thats why i understand why he doesnt wanna risk a fight with floyd, mentally weak.

when he blame the blood taking (near fight time) in his lost to first morales fight. probably thats the start of his superstition. why blame this attitude. fighting also includes mental strength. pac fights his succeeding fight blaming the circumstances that happened not his inferiority to morales---and that i think is mental strength on the other hand.

floyd i guess is superior on mental strength. he knows how to play mind games not only in his opponents but also the people surrounding him including the fans. if not, why are fans still debating on his retirement, on is silence, and etc.

[BennyST]

Of course he is. Any great boxing champ has great mental strength. That can't be questioned. It's what got them to the top over other fighters.



Crying etc after a fight is an emotional release from all the hard work. It's not mental weakness you bunch of girls.

[AFighter4U]

There's nothing wrong with crying but to me it showed a mental weakness. Rather than give Morales credit for beating him and asking for a rematch, He made excuses about the gloves, his shoes, the fact that he got cut and a blood test. And then burst into tears afterwards.

Actions like this tell me he is a very mentally weak person because he didnt want to give Morales credit. He behaved like a sore loser who couldnt handle losing. Like I said before there is nothing wrong with crying but iv'e never seen another fighter at this level go into a hissy fit quite like Pacquiao did.

You are right in that there is nothing wrong with crying, but i disagree with you that it shows a mental weakness.

So to you its a sign of weakness for manny to cry after losing. So what do you think of Floyd jr., for bursting into tears just because some fans were giving him a hard time?

I just wish that Floyd jr. had your attitude. That would simply have given Manny the edge. Assuming a person is mentally weak just because he has a tendency to cry would be a fatal flaw to anyone who would face either Manny or Floyd jr. Crying is NOT a weakness. It simply shows one is more attuned to one's emotions. That can be a good thing if used in the right way because it would allow for the person to release such pent up frustrations and thus allow for a certain degree of therapy actually.

I believe that both of them are quite strong mentally because neither of them would have gone to the top AND STAYED THERE if they weren't made of sterner stuff.

[DontHitMyNuts]

i can't believe people in here just said that crying is a form of mental weakness

we really have some ******ed posters in this forum

yeah mentally weak my ass and manny destroyed the **** out of erik morales his next fight.. making the man who outboxed him quit the fight. he then went on a streak winning the rest of his other titles. guess where's the weak minded pacquiao now? swimming in cash and have armies of fan.

[GrandpaBernard]

No amateur background. unlike floyd.

Pac did have fights as an amateur after he left home to become a boxer. Watch the documentary and stop spreading blasphemy.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

No.

Hes scared of needles and he cant handle being cut in a fight.
