PACQUIAO IS ONE DIMENSIONAL? NOT EVEN CLOSE, FLOYD!


PhilBoxing.com





One-dimensional.

The last time I searched the meaning of that word, one search engine gave me the following meaning:- unsophisticated; crude; basic.

Encarta dictionary on the other hand stated:-“lacking depth- presenting or perceiving only the most superficial aspects of something”.

“One-dimensional” for sure is not an apt description of Pacquiao.

Wow, Floyd how can you say that to someone who just won titles in seven weigh divisions, something that you can not even achieve in your dreams?

I hope that is not the effect of the punches you have received from all those “cherry picked” opponents you fought in the past.

Seriously Floyd, if you really think that Pacquiao is one dimensional, put your money where your mouth is.

Negotiate in good faith and not based on greed so the fight can be made. Remember, Pacquiao does not need you but you need him.

And, don’t you forget that, my man!

Forget that non-sense 60-40 split in your favor. It ain’t gonna happen.

Remember, with the victory of Pacquiao over Miguel Cotto who as a legitimate welterweight champion and not a cherry-picked opponent like Juan Manuel Marquez who you beat in your last fight, Pacquiao deserves not only the respect, but the greater share of the purse as well.

Pacquiao is now the king. A world champion, if you will.

You, Floyd Mayweather Jr., are the pretender to the crown.

Pacquiao is your only hope to make the money you can never make with anybody else.

So shut-up and stop bad-mouthing the guy.

Show some respect so that people will do the same to you.

But you know what Floyd?

I think it makes more sense for Pacquiao to fight Yuri Foreman at 154 lbs and earn the legacy of being the first boxer ever to win titles in 8 weigh divisions. At the very least, Foreman will be respectful. And, he will not be greedy!

You know, there is more to life than money.

But I am sure you don’t subscribe to that idea, not when you call yourself “Money”.

Sometimes, pride of country and family is more important than money.

Could you just imagine how much honor Pacquiao can bring to the country by being the first ever, and likely the last to hold a title in 8 divisions if he beats Foreman?

So my man, stop branding Pacquiao as one dimensional. Perhaps it will do you well if you simply concentrate in keeping in shape because if and when “judgment day” comes Pacquiao will shred your ego to pieces.

With that, “Floyd will be no ‘mo”.
