Give BOXING a shot in the arm ...

[XaduBoxer]

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no shot in hell that I would give the Pacerheads another reason to shamelessly gloat and add fuel to an already out of control epidemic..

So there's no pride among us boxing fans in having a boxer as one of the most influential people in the world?? (according to Time magazine)

Time is a prestigious magazine, this poll might give the mainstream population a glimpse about boxing and boxers...
.

My thoughts exactly...although come May I want him to get battered

Pacquiao topping this poll of most influential persons in the world would generate massive interest about boxing and boxers... It will initiate curiosity in the masses minds how in the world a boxer can be so influential in one's life??

While I'm not a Pacfan, I do have to agree with you here

How is this a legit list with Britney Spears on it? She could walk down sunset blvd. naked and not make the front page of the tabloids anymore.

And I still don't know who moot is.

Gotta say Obama has a little more influence on the world than PAC.

I don't believe for a second that people will start watching boxing or that boxing as a whole will benefit from having Pacquiao on the list.

It would just be another thing for the talking heads.

Time magazine is legit and prestigious tho I admit the way the poll is conducted raised some questions...

Think of this, Pacquiao topping this list and considered the most influential person in the whole world... It will create a huge buzz how in the world a boxer is so influential in one's life... People will then start taking a closer look on boxing and boxers...

This is by far the most bullshit list in the world, when a Korean popstar who most of the planet has never heard of tops the list. Also Paul Kagame is the President of Rwanda, SB, and holds considerable influence over much of the region of Central Africa due to his military history, and is seen as a kind of mini-Mandela/Mugabe depending on your political viewpoint. So he probably is more influential than Pacquiao. But not more than Barack Obama. But that list is a joke anyway

Could be a joke list... Time magazine spent a great deal of time, effort and money in having this "Top 100 Influential People" joke list every year for so many years now...

Moot ? wtf, I have no Idea who or what this person is.

Any list that has Britney Spears in it as influencial is bonkers - she can't even influence her own kids because of a court order.

Anyone who believes that the list you have linked to on here is in any way, shape, or form legitimate is a gibbering moron who should be immediate rendered sterile for the good of all mankind.

You're a boxing fan, isn't it? Now tell me how do boxing or boxers influence your life? The time you spent in this forum already indicates that boxing/boxers is on top of your priorities...

Regarding the list, mind you there's many legit influential persons on that list... Obama, Putin just to name a few...

Those guys are millionaire. And I don't think they give a flying fukk about anyones vote. I bet Pac is not even aware of that poll.
