Pacquiao brought it for us

Agreed, it aint over yet, he is not Ricky Hatton at the end of his prime, so long as he trains hard, he just got caught by another talented boxer I dont see what the big deal is, it may even get him closer to a Mayweather fight as Mayweather might not be so afraid of him now.

NO! I AM NOT A PAC HUTHUGGER!

I will say Pac has always tried to live out that 'rags to riches', 'Rocky', 'underdog' storyline of his boxing career. If this fight dose come to fruition coz Mayweather mite be abit more comfortable dealing with where Pacquiao is at this stage of his career, and Pacquiao pulls this one out and gives Mayweather his first loss, it'll b a massive boxing story and possibly Pacquiao's final chapter in a sport he has given so much to over the last 10 yrs!

Second from that we would have 3 boxing legends (Mayweather, Marquez, Pac) in a deadlock of results and more for us fans to debate who pound 4 pound king should be in 2013-2014!

I do want to say these three men deserve all they have achieved and accolades in the sport of boxing over the last 10 yrs and so!

Good post. I don't think it will affect him like other fighters. He took the loss like a man. Didn't run out the ring to cry, no excuses and gave the fans a great fight. I was rooting for JMM, but was rooting for PAC in two of their fights. You have to love both fighters!

I'm glad to see not everyone got swept up in the fallout of angry Pacquiao and Marquez comments and remarks. All too often, factions form and the language gets lost in the profane and downright ignorant.

Manny Pacquiao has adopted a good attitude. He came out of the gate by not making excuses and excepting his lost like a man. He's such a consummate gentleman that it baffles me how some people can be so cruel towards him.

Surely, Pacquiao has not faced anything of this magnitude. This particular instant is so surprising to every boxer because the boxer trains to be the best. Sometimes he forgets the worse. He forgets that the most devastating punches are the ones you don't see coming, just like in life. Most fighters aren't prepared for that kind of reality. But I think Pacquiao will make light of his circumstances and use it as fuel for redemption in the eyes of his fans, loved ones and most importantly himself.
