Can Pacman Finish The Unfinished Business?

This Filipino Boxing icon Emmanuel "Manny Pacman" Pacquiao created controversy in the sports of Boxing. He created controversy not by trash talking towards his enemy in and out of the ring and definitely not by winning in a controversial judge decision. The much hipe controversy started when this Filipino Boxing Hero displayed his speed and power and the way he destroyed his Mexican victims in the ring with his relentless punching in the name of Eric Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, and the draw between Juan Manuel Marquez, all these three mexicans has a sure seat into the hall of fame. Other Mexican fighters who became victims of the Pacman are Velasquez, Emmanuel Lucero, Jorge Solis, OscarLarios and other such good fighters Leno Ledwaba, Jorge Eliecer Julio and other big names in boxing.

If you believe me or not, the charismatic trademark smile of the Pacman and the little mustache are additional items that made him a star which captures the heart of millions of Filipinos and other boxing enthusiasts alike, and the way he respond to interviews sometimes it's funny but interesting to hear with his limited English, but still he is humble and is one of the boxing wonder today.

Pacman throws his punches almost 50% more in every rounds against his opponents in the ring, not just an easy punch but a devastating power punches that when it lands it will be felt. I remember one of the boxing commentator from HBO describe Manny as "the storm across the pacific", maybe because of his relentless punching but with speed and he throws it with devastation.

Another controversy that surrounds the boxing world today is that, who is the no.1 pound for pound boxer today. A dispute, who among the two between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the no.1. Boxing fans, boxing organizations, boxing analyst have there own mental representaion and description who really is the no.1 pound for pound boxer today. Anyway I have no idea what are the basis and criteria for being on top for the pound for pound boxer. Mayweather's generalship in the ring like his slickness, a hard target, and of course running and turning his back owns respect to boxing enthusiasts. However on the other hand the Pacmans generalship on the ring is measured through his offense, his offense is his defense, a single punch by his opponent there will be a possible multiple punch answer from him, in boxing excitement, the feeling of lively and cheer trully he is the no.1, people love to watch the Pacman banging his opponents, body shots, toe to toe war in the distance owns a salute to boxing lovers.


Now, with the announcement of Pacman's incoming fight this March 15, 2008 with his second encounter against Juan Manuel Marquez the climate of boxing in the featherweight division started to heat up. If you love boxing forums over the internet, you can now read discussions in the forum like philboxing.com and paclanders website mannypacquiao.ph and many more about this upcoming big fight in Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino on HBO Pay-Per-View." If you have not seen the first fight between these two boxing great please play them right now and see this one of the best fight in boxing. Although the Pacman shock and put Marquez three times over the canvass in the first round, Marquez is definitely not out but bounce back with courage and determination to defend himself, at the end of twelve rounds of vicious exchange of boxing both have disfigured and weary faces that even gesturing a smile is rare for the two.

It's fun joining in boxing forums and it relaxes and relieve you from stress, where fans become the analyst, fans become Madam Auring where they predict the outcome of the fight, fans predict what round an enemy will get knocked out but this fight will be a good fight and interesting to watch. Many people in boxing believe Juan Manuel Marquez is the last man standing in the featherweight division and even Jose Suliman the WBC president suggested that Pacquiao must remove his last obstacle in the featherweight division before moving up to a higher weight and maybe a rumor of future fight with the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya.

see you next.........
