I'm not even going to defend them when they become mindless trolls shooting all sorts of expletives at someone who they feel is threatening manny's pristine image, because I feel sorry for the other filipinos who can look at the big picture and think objectively when manny comes under fire. It's his damn fault anyway, why not just take the tests and stop making lousy excuses?

Edit: Oh, i'm not going to admit that i'm a huge boxing fan. I watch other fights too, but not with the same fervor when there's a filipino fighter involved.
Well said.

There are some good Pac posters out there. It is time for the huggers to quit defending the inexcusable. It takes a real man to look at the bigger picture and then hold up his hands and say "I was wrong". If I can do it over certain things over the years on this forum then others can too.

The fight is pretty much off now, so it's about time the defenders quit with the "this is all just hype...why should Manny take the test?....needles weaken him" rubbish. Those arguments are all wrong and we don't have the fight we want. One fighter agreed to a random proposal, the other refused. The blame lies in one corner only. And he has the audacity to try and sue his way out of it?

Blind faith in a fighter no matter what, is never a healthy thing. It's always good to be able to enjoy fighters, but use a bit of good old fashioned critical thinking when the situation calls for it. And this is a situation that needs to be looked at critically.
