whats happening with my country?! i like pac as a boxer not as a politician!

Give his fans a reason if he loses. They can always say "Well he wasnt in love with boxing anymore, he was running for congress, if Pac had been in his prime(like the fight 5 months before) he would have beaten Floyd!"

Floyd is the best pure boxer around but if Manny and Floyd had the same reach and size PBF is in deep trouble. Anybody who does not recognize Floyd's size advantage over Manny is blind. 5 inch reach differential does Matter.

How is he even remotely qualified to be a politician? I understand that most of it is accepting bribes and appointing cronies, but still.

not really, he was always busy with other things. he juggles singing,acting, tv hosting, tv ads and boxing all at the same time. it made some fans worry cause he might undertrain for a fight cause he was doing so many things. but it doesnt affect him at all.

Once he loses, it "will"

pacquiao made boxing history again as the first active pro boxer who holds an elected public position at the same time. (?)

whats happening to our country? nothing man.. its still the same crap. i mean people expect the politicians not to be corrupt but when they hand out money people will vote for them. it will be 3rd world till the end of time. pacman probably is a breath of fresh air since he came from the poorest so his heart wont be questioned. i dont know how he will do drafting laws and passing them though.

[mnmc10]

whats even more scary is that erap came in 2nd! when will people learn!!


majesty,

i once worried about him not focusing on training 100%. yes once he loses it will be one of the excuse.

I think that Manny is starting to believe in his own legend; starting to believe in his fictional, super-hero powers. The man is starting to slide down that slippery delusional slope. If, and that's one hell of an IF, he actually puts his cards down and steps up to fight F.M., he can't have his head in so many different realms.
If he doesn't land early, stun, and finish Mayweather, Mayweather will figure him out and coast to another U.D. Even with all of the money on the table, the prospect of this fight taking place doesn't look too promising.

Well being a politician is time consuming...
