    I can't believe it has been almost 6 years that Pacfans like me have been defending our Hero here and elsewhere(my sign up date here shows that).
    In that 6 years PAC made some of you a believer. Some like him already just hates his fans but regardless PAC's impact in the sport cannot be denied.
    Yes, I can remember the days when I was defending Pac in this forum after he defeated Barrera. Many were saying then that it was Barrera's off night. Some even said,"who is Manny Pac? He just got lucky". But we, Pacfans knew very well that time that it was Pac's time to shine. Can we be blamed for being die hard fans? WE were the first recognize his talents. Just like CMM had said (let me paraphrased him)....... it brings pride in us to have hurdled so many oppositions and critics against our fighter.

    Am just happy that I don't have to debate anymore about Pac.
    Yup, that is why I just take most comments about PAC with a grain of salt, and Mang Tomas Take care Pare!!
    Ingat din pare. Hope we see each other in Manila in the future. Are you a sports/boxing journalist or analyst?

    I remember thinking Cotto would fade away and Bojado would be the one to tear through the ranks.
    a spontaneous creation with multiple moods.

    You think Bojado is impressive, wait til you see this new heavyweight, Michael Grant. The future of the heavyweight division
