Sorry but I'm not buying that. I don't doubt that Manny Pacquaio is a good human being. I think he is. But let's not get ridiculous. Fighters get paid to hurt people. And if Pacquaio didn't want to hurt Margarito he wouldn't have inflicted the damage that he did. My problem is, if any other fighter lets off in the 12th round, people say he "lacks killer instinct" but when Manny does it it somehow makes him a nice guy.What we should keep in mind though that PACQUIAO didn't want to hurt Margarito in the latter rounds. Around 10ish, he was holding back already and just shuffling a la' ALI. If Pacquiao would follow up his punches just right about the 10th, he can put Margarito to sleep.
If we consider the size difference, the weight difference of 17 pounds...Pacquiao is more impressive.
He displayed more than sheer power but finesse, combination speed, footwork, ringmanship AND SPORTMANSHIP.
Compassion towards Margarito.
Manny didn't go for the knockout because it wasn't good strategy to do so, and I commend him for that. He did what a smart boxer would do in that situation. To say that he is just so good of a person he didn't want to hurt anybody is silly to me. He's a boxer, its part of his job to hurt people, and hes done it plenty of times. If he really had a problem with hurting someone he would be in a different line of work.Comment
