    the DID YOU KNOW thread...feel free to add

    I'll start with a few things i've learned on Pacquiao from recently reading his autobiography.

    did you know;

    Pacquiao got his fighting heart and quickness from watching roosters fight..

    Pacquiao got his strong legs and calves from living on a mountain when he was very young and having to walk up and down to get water/food

    Pacquiao actually hates getting hit, but says to make entertainment for fans he allows openings when attacking..

    Pacquiao only felt he became a balanced fighter during the de la hoya fight

    any more did you knows? I'll be back with some on some other fighters..

            Fair enough, I know these stories fly about. I once heard Duran knocked out a bull or a horse. Don't know if thats true.

              Actually game ****s do indeed fight to the death. But contrary to what the ts said, they do slow down & show weakness when hurt, they just fight through it. Hell some game ****s just stand there when hurt & die instead of running, blind & all.

                  bro its all about the breeding and training of the game ****s, plus anyone will show weakness when your cut and hit on vital spots ....

                  to contribute to the thread did you know that "game ****s" also do sparring?

                    Yea, I heard he knocked out a horse with 1 punch and thats why they call him 'hands of steel'. Highly doubt its true though


                    Also, I think it was Duran, who said the best fight he's ever had was a 5-6 hour street fight.
