I blame Jinkee Pacquiao for this fiasco!

This is a thread within a thread. It is also serious, as most of us fight junkies are just expressing ourselves in these links.
The allegation that a woman gets a fighter hurt or killed is an old one. Stallone featured it in Rocky 2, and there are a few who remember what I'm about to recount.
In 1982, Alexis Arguello was trying to win his 4th world championship against Aaron Pryor.
As the story goes, Arguello's wife committed to a campaign to throw him off mentally. Allegedly, she used every trick and tactic a wife can use with a husband.
I remember a Pryor camp member saying they should have written her a check after the fight. It seemed to resemble the biblical story of a garden, 2 naked teenagers and a serpent: or the tale of succubus; or many other stories, metaphors, or similes.
Jinkee wanted her husband to return to the values most accepted in their family cultures. By public accounts he did so. That this period saw the decline and end of the 5 year p4p reign of the "pacman" may be dead on, or symbolic, or some sort of conformation bias.
I watched a fighter become such a force that his primary competition yielded the pound-for-pound title to him by forfeit. He led the game and his people with compassion and a great straight left.
Will we ever see his like again? It remain unclear.
What is clear is that we haven't seen the last of the debate around fighters and women. How could we? We just have to be careful in our allegations. The ladies are the ones who suffer us beating each others brains in, or feed us in the later stages of pugilistic dementia.
With more women becoming fighters, will we soon see roles reversed? It's already happened. Christy Martin's husband took a shot at her not long ago, and with men playing the support role, our tendencies are bound to surface.
Comments, anyone?

This was a really good addition to this thread. There are COUNTLESS times, in real life and out of the ring, where a woman would throw a man off of his game- we can't help it if we love them?? lololol....

You guys don't understand testosterone and men. Also you have been fed this liberal trash-- get a grip man, and think about human nature. The law of the jungle. The stronger man wins, women want a strong man... why do you think women prefer to stay with crap guys that beat them and cheat on them, but piss on the good guy more often than not?

Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, like always- but in general and in the main, this is what it is.

I like you Missy, so really glad you got to see your fighter Marquez win. I also like to tease. But on this day rejoice, sit back, relax. I'll go make you a nice sandwich. Maybe something to drink. Milk or wine?

lol not even sure how post got this far. It's almost like everyone in it likes to be trolled or something. But to be fair, a lot in the Phillipines do have some different ideas regarding gender and age. So who knows, maybe it's for real.

The latest I have heard is that Manny will be fighting in September and it will not be in the USA as the tax is too high.

What a load of old poppycock. You watch too much Coronation Street.
