Yikes, I thought this thread was to become positive like the article. A Filipino athlete transcending racial ambiguity and bias by getting respect from another nationality.
I did not post this to brag about PACQUIAO being GODZILLA.
Anyways. SALUD

Re: The Mexican Point Of View
Not every Manny Pacquiao fan thinks he is capable of walking on water, most of us are realistic and logical in our hopes for our Hero. We know his limitations and still stand behind him.
In all honesty though I'm starting to feel the animosity just because I'm rooting for him.

Re: The Mexican Point Of View
I am half-Mexican myself, which means 95% of my family is Mexican.
My family does not share that point of view.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Re: The Mexican Point Of View
If Mexican prospects boxers starting to adopt the alias "El Pacquiao" then it says a lot of PAC's popularity in Mexico's boxing community...

PACQUIAO's response to this article by a Mexican boxing writer in a Mexican boxing website:
"If the article is the true pulse of boxing in the streets of Mexico, I would like to thank the Mexican people for their warmth and support. As a fighter, I have beaten Mexicans through most of my career but I would like to point out that there is nothing personal with any of my previous opponents — Marco Antonio "Baby Faced Assasin" Barrera, Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez, Erik "El Terrible" Morales, Oscar "Chololo" Larios, Hector Velazquez, Jorge Solis among many others. It is just my job to fight and fight well. It is just that the best fighters in my division happen to be Mexicans and I just happen to be lucky to win everytime. It is probably because I fight like a Mexican—brave gallant, courageous, never running away — that's why Mexicans love me.
Thank you to all the boxing fans around the world. Viva Mexico, too.
With the popularity that I am enjoying even in all of the streets of Mexico, I promise my fans that I will continue to fight like the true Mexican warriors — Chavez, Lopez, even Dela Hoya. Yes, I would still want to fight Dela Hoya in his last fight if our promoters get the right and justifiable deals for both of us. I hope the deal goes well.
God Bless Us All."

Well you can't stop new boxers from using nicknames related to popular boxers at the moment, for example "EL PACQUIAO"...That doesn't even make sense.
