Ok, what the heck is going on with Pacquiao?

i just read the newspapers right now here at phil; 10-7-9 our time, that it's finally going smooth right now for pac and both arum and koncz felt satisfied with the results. as a matter of fact koncz stated that "it was a good performance for manny and both his sparring partners ate leather from pac's powerful and fast combinations. they can't seem to see it."
the reports said after pac was struggling with both men, the tables had just been turned and pac is back to his true form again! i even saw him recently on the t.v after training, man his leg muscles looks like it's really ripped and bulky. his torso, damn! he looks a bit like valero coz i can swear he looks bulkier than ever man. he doe'snt look like he's small or anything. first time i saw him look like that i swear.
and right now as i read on the same newspaper, that jlc is coming to our country. but first roach said he won't allow jlc to spar with manny if jlc is'nt in top shape. he has to see if he's fit first. (knowing jlc has weight issues in the past.) if he is'nt, he'll pack his bags and go back to mexico.
so if you're a pacfan like me, he seems to be in pretty good shape and in top form again.

Thanks friend. I'm a big Pacquiao fan, but it saddens me to see his focus outside of the ring isn't as great as his focus inside.

I know he is more than a star in his homeland and I applaud his triumphant rise from poverty, but sometimes I feel that his need to please everyone before taking care of what is important for his career (and ultimately his family as their health depends on his performace in the ring) will be his downfall.

I'm pleased to hear he finally cleared some of the cobwebs though because a guy the size & with the strength like Cotto should not be taken lightly. I wish Pacquiao the best & will be rooting for him come fight night.

yep. his focus drifted to the flood victims in my country last week. went down from his training camp (it's in the north.) to donate $478,000 for those who got flooded. manila and the nearby cities really became a desolate place, homeless people everywhere, mud everywhere. but even in that situation , we filipinos are known to be resilient and to look at the bright side and try to see hope amidst this turmoil. i hope just by helping he felt good on himself.
and as for the distractions, pac is tightly secured by a bunch of bodyguards to do crowd control and see to it that nobody, escept authorized persons, can get to the gym to see manny. only time the crowd sees manny is when he exercises outside and does some road work. that really annoys me a little since they've been told by the mayor
not to disturb manny but what can you do? huggers are huggers.
cotto is definitely not to be taken lightly, everyone knows that in the pac team and so is a lot of boxing fans here. it also came straight from pac's mouth everytime he's asked about his training and he recognizes cotto's power and boxing skills.
either way i know it's going to be a great fight come nov.14. hope you will enjoy the fight my friend, whatever the outcame may be!
