does Pacman not get respect cause he's Asian???

I like PAC also EM. my take in the fight Pacman was waaaaayyy stronger and EM was a walking corpse with the bigges fucking heart ever but the strongger PAC killed it. I wasn't gona put $$ inthis fight but after I saw the weight in I went running and put $500 down for PAC if the fight would have been at 135 I wouldn't Put down not even a cent.


They should give EM fighter of the decade award or something how many best fight of the year he ie been in it?

lolll

How in the hell can you hate this guy? He is really exciting to watch.

I respect pac for his boxing ability and his exiting style. I have never thought anything of him being asian because it is totally irrelevent. I have never thought any less of a fighter because of where he is from and no other true boxing fan would either.

he gets hes respect man...most of the guys who depreciate a partcular boxer is either delusional or doesnt know boxing..like this thread where he said something like pacs running away from guzman which an objective fan certainly wont agree.I like pac but some of his fans are truly delusional.I guess if someone posted a truly stupid comment,best thing is to simply ignore it...

Stupid thread. Almost everybody respects Pac, most like him cause of his fighting style. Every fighter has their "haters", probably some people that don't like him are die hard Barrera and Morales fans, but even a lot of their fans respect him. Why does every fighter have to be loved by all, who cares if some people don't like Pac or PBF or whoever.

Pac-Man, in the past, did not get respect was due to the fact that his fans blew it for me & he had a questionable loss or two at the hands of some underacheivers.

Total different picture now.

Everyone here knows that I am a Morales, Barrera, & Marquez fan.

Pac destroyed 2 of 3 of my heroes.

He's got my respect. Nuff said. I am impressed.

i personally think he's the S*** and is definately one of the best at the moment
his display of skill was undeniable and those who say otherwise are probably racist or just don't like asians
give the guy some props will you? he was brilliant and i look forward to his upcoming matches

No it's not that, it's just that there are many Erik and Barrera fan's out here who grew up to love these two boxers over many years and this hardly known kid come out of nowhere and beat them badly, so naturally, he became an instant 'bad guy' in their eyes. It's really hard for their fans to shake off their love for these two fighters coz they gave them many years of excitement that caught their hearts, and once someone catches your heart, believe me, it'll be next to impossible to get them off your system. We're just seeing the backlash from that. But it'll be the new generation of boxing fans today and tomorrow, whatever their race, who will give Pac his due respect just as the generations before gave them theirs.

Truthfully...that's one of the most off the wall things I've read to date.

Race has nothing to do with it...nor does racism have a place on this board.

:coolclick: Best thing I've read from you to date. :appl:

Siilly thread....has nothing to do with his race. He's the most exciting fighter to watch on the face of the planet and I actually think he is one of the most popular too....he would be more popular if his fans were not sooooo annoying,it's like if you question Pac,you get shot down a la PBF nuthuggers.

Heh heh heh heh.

:coolclick:

No, he doesn't get respect because he's Roman catholic....













(I actually have no idea if he is or not but I think it is the predominant religion in the Phillipines, and is equally irrelevant to his status as a fighter).

i think him not getting repect from some fight fans have more to do with his size than his race. Some fans, mostly the casual Heavyweight fans just think of him as a midgit posing as a boxer.

That;s 1 thing I dislike about boxing fans.....look at the TON TON TON of talent from Ivan Calderon to Arce,Rafa Marquez,Ponce De Leon,Vazquez,Pacman etc etc etc etc that's weight classes brimming to the rim with boxers, punchers p4p fighters,P4P hardest hitters,P4P most exciting etc etc yet they would rather pay to see aging,slow,boring HW fighters,past their primes or never reached a prime just because they are big,,,,look at the amount of HW fights we have seen this year,now how many have been exciting? Brewster Lyakovich aaaaannnndddd????? ??? I watch a great fight regardless of the weight and it just so happens to be that the best fights are happening at the lower weight classes....The samller guys give better value for money ;D :D
