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.
