Manny Pacquiao: Little BIG man

[RC0]

Don’t know if anyone else cares, probably not….but to a long time boxing fan like myself and millions of others around the world, in a modern day David v Goliath scenario ‘Philipino’ Manny Pacquiao was just inspirational in overcoming previously unsurpassed natural size and strength disadvantages to give U.S bully-Oscar De La Hoya the hiding of his life.

 

Of course I’m not suggesting that Americans are Bullies and all Philipinos’ gentlemen by any means, but in this instance De La Hoya has gotten away with it for years until finally picking on the wrong ‘little man’….and after getting a spanking for several rounds was eventually forced to quit on his stool.

 

With such an abundance of courage, determination, dedication and ferocity, that God-fearing little fella is the true epitome of a warrior in every sense! Anyway, just had to share that with you guys. Good Evening:001_smile:

BY NO MEANS WHAT SO EVER did oscar "pick" on Manny, its been the most eagerly awaited fight for years, i was as excited as anybody about this fight but in the build up i didnt think oscar "picked" on his advisory one bit, Manny did have to step up weights and he did it superbly but i felt that he would win from the off, I even bet on him to knock oscar out when the fight was announced months ago, its not one up for the little guy at all, Its one up for the far superior fighter, who is in arguably in his prime, where as oscar is declining to say the least, No doubt oscar is a true great, one of the best of all time time and manny will go on to super seed him im sure, due to pound for pound BUT you cannot take anything away from oscars career

I quote "picking on the worng man" what the are you talking about??? He did not "pick" on him at all, Manny stepped up and proved him self the best fighter in the world, How can you say Oscar "picked" on him when he got knocked out?? it was billed as the fight of the decade so its not exactly david and goliath, manny has been around for years as has oscar!!

Mozza, stop picking on Reg. Down boy!

Sorry Dean, Just gets me, Manny stepped up, proved himself THE best fighter in the world, He beat a TRUE boxing legend and got paid inexcess of 20 million dollars for it, I fail to see how that is being picked on.
