Will Pacquiao get the same hate Larry Holmes got when he fought shot Muhammad Ali?

[wazaa.]

By fighting shot Shane, will Manny get the same hate that Larry Holmes got by fighting shot Muhammad Ali?

[JudeTheObscure]

Not at all. After all, he gets no negative feelings for beating an unhealthy De La Hoya (who Roach admittedly boasted about being "shot" for weeks before the fight), not that DLH or Shane is anywhere as beloved as a cultural icon as Ali was.

Ali transcended boxing, and still does. Noone is more loved than him. If Pac beats an armless guy, they'll just say how brilliant his performance is. *yawn*

I dont think you can compare it with the DLH fight. Pacquiao was the underdog in that fight and had to come up two weight classes.

pac will keepon punching old man mosely, trying pout new combinations and skills, whereas holmes wanted the ref to stop the fight because he was good friends with Ali

[Boxin']

dear wazza,

stop comparing Shane Mosley to Muhammad Ali

[j.one]

Hell no, he gets away with no drug testing like this will be any different.

[S.G.]

No, Pacquiao can do no wrong.

[wazaa.]

What a disgraceful fight, . No meaning at all. waste of time.

[Sparked_1985]

of course not. Not even close.

Ali produced turds that were more popular than Shane Mosley. He was the world's premier athlete.

I speak for myself....YES!!!!
