Pacquiao before the bell rings, is one of the most boring fighters of all time.


Plain and Simple, Pacquiao has no personality. Pacquiao appeal is him being the pride and hope of the Philippines.

Because you know what? He is.

The essay you wrote holds absolutely zero weight

You know why? Because every single thing you wrote is an opinion.

And everyone has their own.

Floyd is nationalistic? The same Floyd that doesn't fight for the fans and only in a check cashing business? That's nationalistic to you?

Pac could be a mute and he would still be more exciting then anyone else in the sport right now.

Soap operas are on everyday, but I'm more interested in boxing personally.

Actually your posting style is quite boring ... designed to lessen the good public perception of a particular boxer with reference to his chief rival as the face of boxing. And you seem to create your own definition of the word boring.

Anyhow, it is all a matter of preference. I find that "illiterate" congressman's outside life more interesting and inspiring than the ustream/WWE star.

Drama sells, sex sells, drugs sell, swagger sells, attitude sells, violence sells but humbleness doesn't. That's why he sells fights but is seen as a boring dude.

[Real King Kong]

he's boring in american television because he cant speak the language well enough for his personality to come out. the guy makes movies, records, is a boxing star, & now a congressman in his country. that is not a boring person. he's boring when on american television but not in his country. he's been accused of having affairs with actresses, **********s, & is even accused of political assassinations & his right hand man is a underworld kingpin.

you seriously think manny is boring outside the ring?

you are down right just plain wrong.

shhhh...keep that on the low. you wanna make hypocrites out of all the pac fans who hate on floyd for being a scumbag criminal? oh wait.....

[TOBYLEE1]

I don't remember boxers being on the top cause their personality got them up there, their fists did. Their personality might had helped in some way to sale the fight but in the end is their boxing ability and win fights that gets you there. 24/7 is to appeal the masses and the common fan but I can see the hardcore fans dissapointed with it
