pacman brings back boxing to live again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[B]People like Manny Pacquiao. People care about who he is. And for a boxer, that's become something special by itself. Pacquiao is a guy who represents some of the really good stuff that can come from watching boxing.[/B] You see two men go into a ring, and generally one wins, and the other loses. Pacquiao has been winning, and he's been doing so in dominant fashion. But whether it was breaking the face of Antonio Margarito over 12 punishing rounds, knocking Ricky Hatton out in two ruthlessly efficient rounds, or forcing a tired Oscar de la Hoya to quit on his stool, Pacquiao has won with class, dignity, and grace.
Casual fans or the curious may not have watched all of his recent fights, but I bet whenever someone unfamiliar did tune in, they were impressed not just with his clinical thrashings of the opposition, but with the gracious man behind the whirlwind punches. I have watched fights with all degrees of boxing fans and non-fans over the last few years as so many of my Saturday nights have been taken up by the sweet science, and I can say without lying that to a person, man or woman, Pacquiao has impressed them not just in the ring, but with his bubbly personality. Mayweather, on the other hand, has impressed everyone with his skills -- and then they want him off of the TV once he starts talking.
