Once a sickness has run it's course, the natural result is that the accompanying symptoms subside, i.e. the fever breaks, chills stop etc. Its the same way for the Pacquiao fan, the sight of their idol lying face first, still and un-moving was probably one of the more painful experiences of their lives. After all, Manny Paquiao was the baddest of the bad to some. But its deeper than that honestly. I've tried sifting through the responses on various sites and what I'm seeing is akin to mass hysteria, an unreasoning crescendo of denial, baseless attacks against Floyd Mayweather, and deliberate ignorance to facts. There is a fundamental need for some to not accept reality at all costs.
I think it's instructive if we try to see it from the point of view of someone that would invest such faith in someone on the premise that Manny would eventually be the Mayweather killer. In the end a Mayweather wasn't needed, nope, turns out that all that was needed was a crisp right had from a game Marquez. It isn't sexy but he got the job done.
Now it's time for Pacquiao's hordes to pick up the pieces, and that predictably began with a ******* of Mayweather insults even though he had nothing to do with that fight whatsoever. That's how it is when you're jolted back to reality and the convenient foil "Floyd Mayweather" is handy, you use him as a target of mindless rage.
Who would have won the super fight between the two? it really doesn't matter and never did, because there was never a realistic chance for that fight happening. And even if there were a chance, Marquez's emphatic KO took it off of the table for good.
I don't think so. I"m a pacfan but not filipino. I know Filipinos from work and they don't even give a **** practically. They said they thought he's been on the slide and after the Bradley lost, it confirmed it in their minds, despite Pacquiao dominated that matchup. So I guess the loss already helped soften up another Pacquiao loss should it happen and it did. You can't be great forever. Also, Pacquiao fighting Marquez was like playing the numbers game. EVENTUALLY something is gonna get through the gloves as they say. Well, eventually Marquez would get the W, and it took 4 tries, but he finally got it... I don't see anything wrong with that.
