wlel, from what i've read they were. manny's "explanation" was that he's superstituous and Floyd even said he'd take the tests the same way. right now its your word against Teddy Atlas' and no offense, but i'm going with Atlas on this one
* it's on both their Wikipedia profile... not mine... let's just hope their match materializes... 🙂

As I expected, The Pacman wins again.And my prediction was true: He wins via UD.
No one is on his level right now.
He's the top dog, and will remain there until he retires.
Only a heavyweight can beat him.One of the best in the history of boxing undoubtedly.
No doubt but then again Clottey didnt really do much. One if not the biggest fight of his career and he didnt put no pressure whatsoever. Here;s hoping Mosley wins because he will put the pressure on Manny and is fast enough to keep up with Manny.

...I hope not, srsly. >>.I'm not gonna vote for him. I'm not sure anyone would. He has no background in politics.
But then again... we've had a lot sit in power like that... but still...
Actually he does. He ran in a 2007 local election but was defeated because the public didn't want to lose him as a sporting icon at the time.
He's also an active member of a political party and formed his own which merged into his current one.
He's been interested in politics far longer than he's been a top tier boxer.
Besides you only have to look at the US for examples as to how little political experience means nothing when you are popular....Ronald Reagan...Arnie...Kal Penn.

I know. I live in the Philippines. 😉
It's the people's background. other than the whole sporting icon thing, Manny doesn't have much in the place of law degrees or anything like that. I just couldn't see him running anything.
I know about the political party. That one's a little fuzzy - but everyone's approved of him not running as of now.
and I know what you mean by popularity - I have a few people to name off the top of my head, too. I just want to say that the people didn't vote for him just because he's all for the whole boxing thing still. I think that the people kind of want to see more... politically-inclined actions from him, and the party list is a nice, big step. A little more, and I bet he could win.
But that's just me.
i wouldn't say clottey fought in this match. he basically stood there in a ball. i loved it when the announcer kept saying "BANG!" after pacquiao's punches. he kept going for a while, even talking over his co-announcer. not to mention the FPJ double punch to the head move. lol..
i never seen manny throw so many punches. over 1200 puches in 12 rounds. hot damn! he's got stamina for sure. and in fairness to clottey, his defense is tighter than a virgin armadillo in a jonas brothers concert. and if manny could break clottey's D, then mayweather is F'd in the A. lol..
if mosley wins, then the pacman-pretty boy floyd fight seems a little anti-climatic. bring on sugar shane! but if floyd wins.. man, it would be the biggest fight this side of the philippine islands.. hell, the whole world even..
mbuhay, manny pacquiao!
