    Comments Thread For: Why Most of Us Still Root For Manny Pacquiao

    By Michael Rosenthal - Manny Pacquiao is no longer the juggernaut who commanded our attention a decade-plus ago. He's still good at 40, just not what he was. The best welterweights are named Crawford, Spence, Thurman and Porter, not Pacquiao. Yet many of us continue to root for him. Why?

                  It's his fan's who don't accept results and blame everyone else for any reversal Packy gets that turn me off him. And I bet I'm not the only one, it's come to me hoping Packy loses every time just to see how upset and crazy his fans get. It's a circus.

                          No boxer was more loved than prime pacquiao. Truly the people’s champ.
                          People root for him because he deserves a good ending to his career.

                                  though he has been a fool at times, hes been overwhelmingly most of the time a good example of something great that came from nothing.

                                  This is inspiration on the level of religion and real life heroes like firefighters and nurses.

                                      How do we feel about Pacquiao? This is how I feel: Manny! Manny! Manny! just the one thing I miss about the younger Pacman is his floppy middle parting that used to bounce around when he was in beast mode savaging opponents.
