Or how about Felix Trinidad electing to fight Hacine Cherifi after an eight month layoff or electing to fight an easily hittable Ricardo Mayorga after a two and a half year layoff. Yet Floyd is criticized for fighting the NO. Next he is ridiculed for fighting smaller fighters. This again is a dumb thing to argue because, uh hello Manny is a smaller fighter! I have never bought into the bigger fighter rule anyway like Emanuel Steward said "The harder puncher is the harder puncher.
Manny too has expressed interest in fighting Miguel Cotto. The reason Said by Freddie Roach, I will quote as he proves my point, "Cotto will stand in front of us and come forward.
Again why is Manny and Freddie avoiding the fighters that will give Manny his toughest challenge. Not saying that Cotto is a push over I believe Cotto has the boxing skills to give Manny a real tough time. That depends more on Mayweather than Pacman and right now, it doesn't look good , but if it doesn't, Pacman's legacy and by extension, that of Mayweather won't be enough to get him into that rarefied air.
He just lacks the necessary paper profile, at least as of yet. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!

There used to be a debate about who the greatest left-handed boxer of all time was. Was it Marvin Hagler? Was it Pernell Whitaker? Was it Joe Calzaghe? With titles in four of the eight "glamour" divisions in boxing, Pacquiao was able to do things southpaws of years past could only dream of doing, including having a fabled relationship with trainer Freddie Roach.
Words to remember: "People ask me all the time, because I wrote two books on it, to assess a fighter with the context of other great fighters. OK, so some of this might be tongue in cheek, but we have to give Pacquiao props for taking his boxing prowess and thinking it meant he could do anything — and we mean anything.
Ella and Manny always get in a fight. Ella is so forceful especially when it comes to boys. She is not afraid of anything, not even Manny, but she doesn't know that Manny has feelings for her. Can Manny's feelings for her change her personality, or it will just ruin everything? Pacquiao has never made a point of flaunting his celebrity connections. On the flip side, celebrities have never shied away from fanboying over Pacquiao or celebrating the champion boxer.
The most notable of those has been actor Mark Wahlberg, star of one of the greatest boxing films of all time, "The Fighter," in which he portrayed "Irish" Micky Ward. Once the film came out and was an Oscar-nominated hit, Wahlberg made a point of talking about how much he modeled his fighting after Pacquiao and how often he went and visited Pacquiao when he was training at a gym in Los Angeles.
Words to remember: "Every time he was training at Wild Card Gym, I watched him because my whole approach was I wanted to look like a Manny Pacquiao-caliber fighter. No one has more nicknames than Pacquiao, which is one of the most endearing tips of the hat any athlete can get from fans, media and opponents. Pac-Man perfect. The Mexicutioner earned. Pambasang Kamao "The National Fist" cool. The Fighting Pride of the Philippines corny.
The Fighting Congressman accurate. The Destroyer so-so. Kid Kulafu confusing. Ninong Manny "Godfather Manny" yawn. The Fighting Senator accurate. The Mexican Killer nope. MP succinct. The Living Legend yawn. The Legendary repetitive. Eight-Division Champ true. The Ageless Warrior epic. Words to remember: "I do not like the nickname 'Mexicutioner.
