Pacqiauo - "Boxing is not for killing each other." This man gets it.

"boxing is not killing each other." what a great athlete Manny Pacquiao.

41,000 people there, nobody was in a hurry to leave at the end. The performance by Pacquiao was brilliant, the crowd wanted to soak it in as long as they could. This was one of Pacquiao's greatest performances, up there with the first Barrera fight, the domination of Oscar, the 2nd and 3rd fights with Morales, the quick KO of Hatton, his brutal beating of Lehlo Ledwaba and some others. Not only a masterpiece of a performance, but Pacquiao displayed his sportsmanship by easing up and allowing Margarito to finish. He summoned the referee several times to stop the fight, he doesn't have the heart to beat down a basically defenseless man. The fight against Ledwaba, although not nearly as well-known as many others, was important to his career. It was Pacquiao's introduction to an American audience, and to the rest of the world outside of the Philippines. Ledwaba had successfully defended his title 6 times, was in peak condition and in his prime. Pacquiao took the fight as a replacement with only 2 weeks to prepare. Ledwaba was a huge favorite. I'm not sure they established a betting line, something that is foregone if the fight is expected to be lopsided. In 6 savage rounds, Pacquiao scored 2 knockdowns and pummeled Ledwaba to the end. If Manny had lost that fight, how much would it have stymied his career? Some may not know but there was an incident between the Pacquiao and Margarito teams during preparation for the fight. They were sharing a gym for training, each with a designated time schedule. One day when Pacquiao's team arrived. Margarito's team hadn't left yet. They waited beyond the scheduled time, but at some point they spoke up. An argument ensued, then it got physical. I won't mention the guy's name, but one of Margarito's assistants had just switched camps. He had been with Pacquiao, but Freddie Roach was having a problem with him. He was infringing on everyone in training, butting in where he wasn't assigned to work. Roach asked Pacquiao for his opinion, he wanted to fire the guy. Pacquiao said it wasn't his decision to make, but he would support Roach's decision in the matter. Freddie fired the guy, a few days later the guy was hired by Margarito. This situation fueled the altercation between the teams. Roach and Margarito's trainer began jawing back and forth at the training facility, the assistant that Roach had just fired came forward and kicked Freddie in the chest. Freddie was a fearless fighter in his day, he wouldn't back down from a fight. They separated the teams and the situation ended. It was seen as a cowardly act, Roach was physically impaired due to Parkinson's disease. Pacquiao wasn't present when this occurred. Later, Roach told Pacquiao what happened. Pac said, 'don't worry, I'll take care of it in the ring'. We just saw Pacquiao take care of it in the ring. One final note; despite this altercation, and despite that Margarito and his team were openly mocking Freddie and talking a lot of shit before and after the altercation, Pacquiao stopped by Margarito's dressing room as the stadium emptied. Nobody was around to see this, I heard Freddie make mention of this at some point. Pacquiao was allowed to enter Antonio's dressing room, he asked Tony if he was okay. I think this is what is meant when someone is referred to as a 'classy individual'.

That last round shows what a fantastic human being Pac-Man is. I have always had nothing but respect for Pac-Man and this proves it is Justified . One of the best ever.

His moral compass, integrity, sportsmanship,social status far surpasses any boxer last 100yrs

12:12 The moment Manny cut Margarito's right eye. Not a headbutt, not a elbow of some sort, but a thunderous left uppercut.

Manny Pacquiao's 2005-2010 boxing streak was the most exciting boxing i've ever witnessed.. No one could beat this man, its the reason Mayweather couldn't risk his reputation at the time, even if the pay day would set him and his childrens children for life.

Everyone here compliments Pac for his offense... But I gotta say what I actually noticed while rewatching this fight again was how incredible and dynamic Pac's defense! It's amazing... It's like there were no wasted movements. Each fluid movement either blocks or evades Margarito's punches, it's like Manny was able to read Margarito's mind lol. And this is also one of the things I like about Pac's style, because his defense is very much in sync with his overall movements, especially with his offense.

Pacquiao's great career included wins against the best competition available. He was 7-2 against the 3 great Mexicans; Morales, Barrera and Marquez, with a total of 11 knockdowns and 3 Ko's. He beat Oscar, Clottey, Hatton, Margarito, Mosley and Cotto. He beat Tim Bradley 3 times ( we all know he was robbed in their first fight ). He ended his career at age 40 to 42 by beating Broner, Thurman and had a close loss by decision to Ugas. All 3 were tough opponents much younger than himself. In between he easily beat 4 other Mexican fighters; Oscar Larios, Hector Velasquez, Jorge Solis and David Diaz. Diaz just beat Eric Morales, Solis was undefeated and the 4 combined had a record of 166-15. When Pacquiao arrived in this country he took a fight with only a 10 days notice against the IBF super bantamweight champion Lehlo Ledwaba. Ledwaba was 32-1, had successfully defended his title 6 times. Pacquiao was a huge underdog, an unknown quantity at the time. The 3 commentators couldn't even pronounce his name. He brutally beat Ledwaba, knocking him down twice and stopping him in the 6th round. He beat Jorge Julio who was 44-3, knocking him down twice and stopping him in 2 rounds. Before he came to the U.S. he won 10 title fights; 1 was a regional title, 5 were international title fights and 4 others were World title fights. He won all 10 fights by Ko/TKo. 3 of those opponents were undefeated and he was an underdog in at least 3 of those fights. In the last phase of his career, in addition to beating Broner and Thurman, Pacquiao dominated Chris Algieri, Brandon Rios, Jesse Vargas and Lucas Matthysse. I wasn't the least disappointed that he closed his career with a close decision loss against a tough, younger opponent in Ugas. Pac was 42 and had been off for 2 years heading into the fight. The only part of his career that was less than satisfying were the fights against Horn, Bradley and Mayweather. I lost faith in judge's decisions after the robbery Pac suffered in the first Bradley fight. I use my own judging since then because cheating is rampant in boxing. Almost everyone knows Pac beat Horn and I maintain that he beat Mayweather as well. The punches landed stats in the Mayweather fight were not accurate as reported by compubox. They had Floyd landing more by about 140 to only 81 for Pacquiao. That's only about 6 1/2 punches landed per round for Pacquiao, anyone that saw the fight knows that's ridiculous. 2 unofficial punches- landed surveys done by unbiased sources reversed the totals, having Pac landing 30 to 35 more punches than Floyd. These 2 independent totals nearly matched and should be considered far more accurate IMO. Around the world the majority of country's believed that Pacquiao won the fight, as did Floyd's father, who berated him in his corner mid-fight saying he was losing the fight and fighting as if he was scared of Pacquiao.. Shane Mosely and Evander Holyfield had ringside seats and said Pacquiao won as well. My own finishing record for Pacquiao is 66-5-1. He lost 2 fights as a teenager in the Philippines, lost once to Marquez, once to Morales and his last fight to Ugas. He was cheated in his first fight against Marquez, given a draw because one judge made an error on his card, admitted doing so right after the fight. The dishonest Vegas commission said it wasn't reason enough to change the outcome. Not reason enough? The judge made an error so Pacquiao had to pay for it? Not on my score card, I gave the fight to Pacquiao, the way it should have been.

We are fortunate to be alive to witness the greatest fighter of all time. Not to mention a great human being. No one-trick pony, Manny excels in whatever he does, and he has many irons in the fire.

I came back here after Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney just to prove to myself that 3 pound difference makes no difference at all compare to the weight difference in here.

The interview with Manny after his fights is always comedy..let alone his concert lol! Gotta love Manny

This was the was the most entertaining video clip of this fight for clarity and length....I can't count how manny times I have watched this fight, it's an all time classic...

I have watched this fight what seems like a thousand times,and my Lord it never gets old,pacman was a power punching beast,I never seen such relentless pressure,5-6punch combination, magnificent angles and foot work was unbelievable! It scared me when he got caught on the ropes and his left arm got caught in the ropes,that kidney and liver punch almost caused him to take a knee,but he endured the pain,and guarded that liver for a few seconds,to show his warrior heart,and fight back! There will never be another pacman,I loved many of the Mexican boxers,and cotto,but Manny in his prime years, especially after Freddy worked with him on his right hand,was a force to be reckoned with,to beat a man,totally beat a man of this size,was amazing! I heard this fight changed Manny, understandably so! He will always be the best ever in my eyes,even a better man out of the ring,for his accomplishments,,your the best pacman,what a humble giving human being,so many could learn a lesson from this man! FOREVER GREATEST!

This is when boxing was good 🥺 every weekend has a good fight to watch

I just appreciate Top Rank posting Pacquiao fights recently even in Facebook. Always such an exciting fights with Pacquiao.

The fight that turned Pacquiao into the only 8 division champ

That liver shot in Round 6 from Margarito is nasty, I thought Manny is going down from that punch, he is hurt and was able to survive the round. Man that was amazing and he said in his interview that it is a miracle he had survived that fight. One of the greatest boxer and I miss him on the ring.

and haney is crying over ryan being over weight
