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

[Truth Serum]

Funnier Fact: The same Dr that did Manny's shoulder, was part of Pacs medical team in the dressing room where he attempted to inject Manny with TORADOL. When NSAC asked if Pac NEEDED the drugs to fight......Dr Elatrrache said "Not anymore....Pac is fit to go." then put the syringe away.


Funniest Fact: Bob Arum claimed they had a TUE from USADA for TORADOL.


Sounds like a class action suit and a whole lot of lying for a surgery that healed with no rehab and magical salt water.

The only hole in your story is that his team "attempted to inject him with Toradol"...

Why would that be if he didnt have an injury?

Also, your conspiracy left out the fact that his prefight shot was rejected by the commish either way.

I like Manny a lot as a fighter and as a person. However I agree with what you say about people who constantly reference GOD like he is on their side. Athletes across the sports spectrum do this often and I always cringe when they do. Why? Because it is disrespectful to think that GOD cares who wins an athletic contest. This applies even more so when the athletic event is one based on violence or gladiatorial in nature.

Im sure God wants people to assault each other for money inside a setting called boxing ring.

You may not like them, but they are facts.

Arum claimed they had a TUE from USADA. That's a fact that it is also a VERY BIG LIE.

But let's put the lie about who authorized the shot on hold.....

Now let's say Pac had a legitimate injury......

Question:

Why didn't the doctor (who later performed "surgery") simply state the shot was required for Manny to fight? I mean that's why he was there in the dressing room... wasn't it? Isn't that his role as part of Mannys medical team? Doesn't he have fiduciary to his patient as per his medical license?

The NSAC didn't make the determination......Dr Elatrrache did.

Why?

Wait....you don't know what makes TORADOL controversial?

Where was "god" when Manny got knocked the fAck out by Marquez? Is Marquez some godly chosen saint who the lord shined down his grace and gave him the power to hit Manny like a gotdamn car crash?

And who the fAkk does Manny think he is that "god" chose him over Floyd? Who is he to conclude that Floyd is shunned or disliked by "god"? If anything it looks like "god" was on Floyd's side and chose FLOYD to win the fight, and all of his fights for that matter.

So by Manny's own logic it appears that god favors Floyd A LOT more than god favors Manny judging by their bank accounts and their pro boxing record.

And I'm not even much of a Floyd fan. I just call it like I see it.

Tired of these Sneak Diss Writeups from Western Media

If the #GOAT Manny Pacquiao was a Black American, he will be recognized as having surpassed SRR - for he has a long time ago. If you line their accomplishments up, weight-bully SRR, who only fought twice anyone heavier than him, comes up short.

He won once against 171 lbs Bobby Lee with a noob record of 6-2-2; and lost against an equally experienced 173 lbs Joey Maxim 173 78-18-4 . SRR tried to go up a mere 8 lbs but his body can't handle it. SRR was 31 when he did this. Manny is STILL fighting with a WEIGHT HANDICAP at age 40.

SRR has an unbeaten streak, but against whom? People with very bad resumes, smaller guys at S. FEATHERWEIGHT 130 lbs (SRR was a MW 165 lbs - weightbully!) up to same-weights like him. Pacquiao has fought ABOVE HIS WEIGHT (a HANDICAP) for a DECADE now, against top / undefeated / future HoF competition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEi14cCJo3c

"Robinson stated in his autobiography that one of the main considerations for his move up to middleweight was the increasing difficulty he was having in making the 147 lb (67 kg) welterweight weight limit." -Robinson and Anderson, p. 165. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Ray_Robinson SRR cuts weight to gain an ADVANTAGE, Manny bloats up to give a HANDICAP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEi14cCJo3c

A lesser known fact is that Manny spanned a grand total of 11 weight divisions (46 lbs) Light Fly to Super Welter; 12 (57 lbs) if you count Antonio Margarito's fight weight of 165 lbs, 13 if you consider that 165 is just 3 lbs shy from Super Middleweight 168 lbs.

Ask yourself, which is more impressive?
1. SRR unifiying all 147 titles; or
2. SRR shutting down a 217 lbs A / B+ HEAVYWEIGHT contender, and eventually winning by TKO? (Antonio Margarito was 10-8 when Pacquiao fought him. His losses were against A fighters Shane Mosley and Paul Williams)

He is practically UNDEFEATED since Marquez IV - Horn was corrupt, and IV-infused MayIVeather https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...cording-report and Co. ("clinch warning"-averse black referee Bayless, NSAC, etc) was questionable at best (and Manny won that fight regardless). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcC9_cqy2L8

Terrence Crawford DUCKED him by saying Pacquiao's $20m guarantee was a price out. Meanwhile, Manny earns at least $20m against 35yo Matthysse in Malaysia not Vegas, on ESPN+ not PPV, under MP Promotions not Top Rank.

Vasyl Lomachenko DUCKED Manny Pacquiao for a long time now, saying he has nothing to gain from an ACTIVE old LEGEND, who also happens to be PERENNIAL PPV STAR, a TITLEHOLDER, and still CURRENT LINEAL CHAMP. Loma thinks he has more to gain fighting no-names at TR's 135~140 stable. Oh, Lomachenko fought small 37yo Rigondeaux btw.

Manny should also be the longest P4P Ranker in The Ring's History if only The Ring didn't biasedly remove him (due to being stripped of his WBO title) just because he "retired" for 1 month. He should now be in his 790th Week on the List.

Can't say the same for Floyd:
http://www.espn.com/blog/dan-rafael/...ite-retirement
or Muhammad Ali's year long retirement:
https://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/02/a...i-says-he.html
How can you make a TITLE DEFENSE coming from RETIREMENT?!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali#Later_career
"Ali fought Ken Norton for the third time in September 1976. The bout, which was held at Yankee Stadium, resulted in Ali winning a heavily contested decision that was loudly booed by the audience. Afterwards, he announced he was retiring from boxing to practice his faith, having converted to Sunni Islam after falling out with the Nation of Islam the previous year.[83]
After returning to beat Alfredo Evangelista in May 1977..."

And speaking of Muhammad Ali, Let's compare OBJECTIVELY, who is the more influential and WORTHY Boxer / Social Icon.

1. Manny is a credit to all Asians (majority race at 60%, Africans are 14%). He has reached more people as an icon.
2. Unlike Ali, he is an Army Colonel, Ali was was an ARMY DRAFT EVADER.
3. Being Christian, Pacquiao is AGAINST Shariah Law, as a Muslim, Ali by default WANTS Shariah Law to take over.
NOTE: Pacquiao was falsely accused of condemnation against the LGBT community (proven by video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oswvt5IVtUQ
yet Muhammad Ali, being Sunni Muslim, naturally advocates EXECUTION for ****sexuals.

In Saudi, where Mecca and the Kaaba is, that Ali PAID HOMAGE to:
http://www.emel.com/article?id=&a_id=1722
Under the country’s interpretation of sharia law, a married man engaging in sodomy or any non-Muslim who commits sodomy with a Muslim can be stoned to death. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ed-by-death-2/

4. He is a well-known Philanthropist, at one point having given away 1000 houses to the poor, from his own pocket.
5. Pacquiao is a sitting Senator, 1 out of 24, being groomed to be future President of the country.
6. He is NOT self-proclaimed.
7. He is an exceptional role-model. Unlike foul-mouthed racist Ali.

“A black man should be killed if he’s messing with a white woman,” he said. And it was the same for a white man making a pass at a black woman. “We’ll kill anybody who tries to mess around with our women.” But suppose the black woman wanted to be with the white man, the interviewer asked. “Then she dies,” Ali answered. “Kill her too.” - Muhammad Ali, Playboy 1972

So bottom line is Manny is better than BOTH SRR and Ali.
Manny is the #GOAT.

And let's not forget that Manny is only a Part-Time Boxer.

Im sure God wants people to assault each other for money inside a setting called boxing ring.

I believe your quote is well spoken sarcasm, meaning your point is the opposite of your statement. The truth is God doesn't take sides unless it serve's his purpose and Human sports certainly don't do that.

Imagine SUGAR RAY ROBINSONs first ever Fight ABROAD in ENGLAND against RANDY TURPIN was hilarious clearly shows that SRR was the same as DUCKFLOYD JR carefully protected by US govt for being soooo despirate to create a real super heroes in Boxing lol...lol...SRR was beaten in ENGLAND only to challenged Turpin in the US lol...lol...compare to what PACQUIAO did to LEDWABA back in 2001 First ever PACQUIAO fight in the US...imagine that...ALI isnt as explosive as what MP did in all his fights yet the american ego maniac lovers self proclaimed boxing writers was telling the world that ALI. SRR. LEOANRD. HEARNS. TYSON. JONES JR DUCKFLOYD is thier very TOP 10 greatest P4P of all time. lol...lol

I'm American and would put SRR, Ali and Jones, Jr. on the P4P list. But I would also include Lennox Lewis and the often forgotten Joe Calzaghe. My grandfather would probably include Lazlo Pap (Hungary) as well.
