Why is everybody jumping all over the TS, it's obvious to me that he just started watching boxing this year sometime. Probably to impress a girl or boy whatever he's into IDK. :bukkake:
Otherwise he would just be a complete ****ing idiot to post this but he's not he's just a ****** to the sport guys so back off.

there's going to be a huge void after pacquiao retires. some of the pinoys have already left. some of them left after the third marquez fight, the true end of manny's prime.
eventually another pinoy is going to get back in the spotlight, and get into rivalries with mexican fighters below 147 lbs. there may never be another manny pacquiao, or there may be a guy who comes along and surpasses him. either way, there will be philipinos in boxing.
manny introduced a lot of fans to the sport who will outlast him, and become lifelong boxing fans. it's been this way for well over a hundred years now, and it's not just a phenomenon exclusive to pinoys.Comment

he got completely destroyed by his biggest competition. very rarely, if ever, do fighters make it back to the top of the sport after that.
it's not like he lost a close fight. he was taken to school. they could fight 10 times and he'd lose ever y one. if he didn't have an iron jaw he would have really taken a beating.Comment

John will never fight Donaire so it's not even worth talking about. Gradovich is a decent fighter but he's the weakest champ in the division. I'm not so sure Donaire even beats Salido or Gonzalez. Donaire isn't that great of a boxer, he really just relied on his power and it worked against all the midgets he fourth below 118, but know he's gonna be fighting guys his own size or bigger. And that's bad news for him.Originally posted by SoggyLungsi can easily see donaire becoming a unified champ at 126 (beating gradovich, the winner of the wbo belt and chris john for wba super)...and then winning a belt at 130...and it's not like donaire took a career ending beating against rigo lmao....he got clearly outboxed, yes..but it wasn't like a sustained beating that would take years away from his prime. if anything it probably hurt him mentally, but i'm sure he's motivated enough to get back on top....Comment

Exactly there will be a void and it has already started but boxing is alive in the Philippines. You don't just replace a fighter like Manny but the Philipines has a fairly large population and there is not a lot of opportunity for those on the bottom rung of the economic ladder, so with Manny as an inspiration for a generation you should expect some decent (at the very least) smaller fighters to come out of there over the next 20 or so years.there's going to be a huge void after pacquiao retires. some of the pinoys have already left. some of them left after the third marquez fight, the true end of manny's prime.

For the fans well some left but some caught the boxing bug and will always watch boxing.Comment

He lost a fight. So is that how it is now? You loose a fight and your career is over. He's still top 3 in his division. That didn't change. And as bad as that Rigo fight was he still got to Rigos suspect chin.he got completely destroyed by his biggest competition. very rarely, if ever, do fighters make it back to the top of the sport after that.
