Do you think Manny Pacquiao is strong mentally?

[Picazo]

I'm not convinced he's mentally strong, I mean we've seen him fold under pressure before. Whether he was young or not it's a mental thing and I dont see the same focus and belief in him that I see in Mayweather. Erik Morales broke down Pacquiao physically and mentally to the point where Pacquiao started crying after the fight. Somebody like that, it's easy to get in their head and I think Floyd will get in his head.

He will beat him mentally then beat him physically.

no pacquiao took the last round pretty decisively as i recall...crying has nothing to do with mental fortitude, mayweather has won and cried. pac is mentally very strong, im guessing most of you just jumped on the pac bandwagon with his win over hatton. just look at his run since his loss to erik, its clear hes very strong..in a lot of ways. and im not the biggest pac fan, but lets not be biased here. the kid has mental fortitude...thats one thing pac has, the way he trains, his ambition come on.

On second thought, he might not be that strong mentally. Do you some of you remembered him commenting on Floyd being too much of a trash talker? It doesn't mean much, but the fact that he commented about Floyd's trash talking proved that he wasn't comfortable with it.

Simply put,every time we thought Pacman was about to get a gutcheck,he made it look easy!!So I take away from that that Pacman must be mentally stronger than we can imagine!!

Manny isn't Charlie Zelenoff who gets caught with a right hand counter then complains to the ref that he was hit in the face. To get to that level he is at you have to have steel resolve. It's unquestionable.

lolz its really funny when PAC's Mental toughness is questioned, do you know where the guy came from and do you know where he is at now?

[maguirre]

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

If that is true, this fight would have been made after Pacquiao stopped Hoya. In fact, he would have been begging for this fight and calling out Pac every opportunity he gets. We don't see that in him do we? Naa...

This is not even a question.. It's obvious to any boxing fan.

Aside from being bothered by the cut he suffered against Morales, he's always able to overcome adversity in the ring, even when he's been cut after that fight, he's handled it well.

His reaction after the Morales fight was indeed embarrassing and hilarious. I think he's strong mentally to the point that he wants to be 100% ready on fight on, and he'll avoid certain negative things to stay focus on his game plan.

On second thought, he might not be that strong mentally. Do you some of you remembered him commenting on Floyd being too much of a trash talker? It doesn't mean much, but the fact that he commented about Floyd's trash talking proved that he wasn't comfortable with it.

I know he's a very hard worker and loves what he does, He's definetly very strong when it comes to training and everything and he can follow a gameplan if things go wrong (Barrera). But I still see some mental weakness's during and after his fights. In the Morales fight he looked very upset and full of excuses afterwards. He complained about the gloves, shoes, the cut and loads of other things. He didnt mention the blood test when HBO interviewed him but that has been used as an excuse too. I wish he could have just gave Morales credit instead. That showed me that he was a sore loser, The defeat got to him and you could really see it when he started crying.

I don't know why he talked about Floyd's trash talking because Floyd hasnt said that much about him. I would say Pacquiao has done more talking calling Floyd a "coward" etc etc. You shouldnt call somebody a trash talker and then go and talk **** straight afterwards. Pacquiao should have just not said anything at all, We all know his trainer is a huge trash talker so why he said that was strange to me. Floyd isnt going to stop his "trash talking" because Manny wants him to. lol

[-MAKAVELLI-]

yea...he's a mental midget


i remember he was being interviewed by Brian Kenney and he started clapping his hands like a ****** when Brian asked him some tough questions


there was also this one time where he threw a hissy fit at Larry Merchant during a post fight interview because Larry said people were leaving during the fight

i also remember some rapper on the radio get under his skin for telling him he was wacked


i tell ya, that PAC is one egg that's easy to crack
