Same old story.
Find a vacant title
Find a bum to fight for it
Set a catch weight to drain the said bum
Get some organization to sanction
Get given a title
Pass a urine test after the fight
I really am having trouble understanding how anyone is a fan of Pacquiao.
I doubt manny would even care about the trinket titles wbc's been giving boxers willing to "pay" for them.
That being said, I really think margarito was a handpicked opponent before this bout. But that doesn't mean I don't give manny the props that he deserved after dishing out the beating that margo had coming for him. He was after all, still in there with a very game and well conditioned opponent who weighed in 17 pounds heavier than he is. Regardless of how the fight went it's course, how could you not like the class manny showed in and after the fight? For pete's sake he even said boxing is not about killing, it's about entertainment or somewhere along those lines. And he proved it in the 12th round when he could have easily poured in the power punches seeing margo was out of the game for sure.
Now I'm sure you absolutely loathe manny judging from your previous posts, but questioning people for being a fan of manny is absolutely absurd in my book, more so after this fight.
I'd still say he's the underdog if the pbf fight goes through, but really.. really?? You still hate the guy even though he hasn't been proven to be taking any illegal substances and not a squeak from you from the real cheaters of this sport? Wow..
