Malignaggi: ”There’s something very fishy about Pacquiao” – News
November 22nd, 2009
By Liam Santiago: The list of names that seem to find World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s great recent performances ‘fishy’ is growing and growing. Floyd Mayweather Snr. is not alone in suspecting something. Now Paul Malignaggi is dropping hints. Also, Nate Campbell believes the weight demands of Pacquiao are beating his opponents. Speaking to Fight Hype, Malignaggi said, ”There is something fishy about Pacquiao and for a lot of reasons”.
Malignaggi continued, ”Even Margarito, when he was walking through Miguel Cotto’s firepower, you could see the pain on him. Like he had to gut it out, you know what I mean? There’s guys that Miguel Cotto has not knocked out. There’s guys that have gone 12 rounds with Cotto and lost, like Shane Mosley even. Pacquiao looked like he was walking in the park taking those punches, they were like pieces of paper bouncing off him. Even Margarito who walked through Cotto’s punches had to literally go through hell to take them. And that’s a full blown welterweight. This is a guy coming up in weight doing these things. Margarito didn’t even hurt Cotto every time he touched him. Nobody hurts Cotto every time they touch him”.
Malignaggi went on to say, ”Again, it’s not a fact, but over the course of history, have you ever seen anyone in boxing history, move up in weight and hurt guys more as they move up, or is it the opposite? The course of history has shown us that as you move up in weight, the guys are used to getting hit by bigger men so your power will no longer affect opponents like it did in your own weight class. Pacquiao is the first guy in history, and he might be the special thing that everyone says he is, he might be the first person to go up in weight and knock out more as he goes up. Me? I think that looks a little fishy. I think that’s a little bit fishy”.
In another interview with boxing scene, Malignaggi said about Pacquiao, ”I think there is something up with Manny Pacquiao. I am not going to get into it. I think people will understand what I am saying. Full blown welterweights don’t take those type of punches from Miguel Cotto the way he took them with total disregard for his power nor do they hurt him with every punch they hit him with. These are full blown welterweights I am talking about. This guy is coming up in weight and doing all these things. There is something up with this guy but that’s as far as I am going to go into it. Floyd Mayweather (Senior) has gotten into it a little bit. There have been other fighters who have mentioned it. I am not going to get into no controversy. I am going to leave it at that. There is something that seriously makes me feel weird about Manny Pacquiao. I am going to leave it at that”.
Firstly, Paul Malignaggi is a great fighter who knows his stuff about the sport. I have a lot of respect for the man and whatever he says, I will take seriously. He makes some very valid points. How the hell is Pac Man knocking more guys out as he goes up? The only fighter I can think of that has done that is Sugar Ray Robinson. He started as a lightweight and was knocking middleweights out with single punches. However, Robinson had the power he had at middleweight at lightweight. With Pacquiao it has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Robinson was dismantling lightweights and did the same to middleweights. Pacquiao was not dismantling lightweights. How do you go the distance with a guy like Barrera, and lose to guys like Morales and draw with Marquez, then move up to divisions and knock Miguel Cotto about like a teddy bear?
Take Ricky Hatton for instance. Hatton was knocking great fighters out at light welterweight such as Jose Castillo. However, when he moved to welterweight to fight Collazo, the power was not there. Hatton could not bully him the same way he could at 140. Take Juan Manuel Marquez for instance, he went from lightweight to 147 to face Floyd Mayweather and the power was not there. Why is Pacquiao different? I am not suggesting there is anything ‘fishy’, just stating the facts.

The punches that MP lands and knocks down most of his opponents are punches you don’t see..That uppercut he threw on the 2nd knockdown against Cotto came out of nowhere from that exchange. On the first knockdown, he dropped Cotto with an uppercut after landing a right hook…it is obvious that MP and roach trained for finishing with the uppercut since Miguel Cotto has always had the tendency to dip down during his exchanges (watch vs. Mosley, vs. Margarito). It did surprise me that MP was that much stronger but he was landing clean blows to the head!..and as far as taking punches, MP conditions his body with a bamboo stick…I don’t think most boxer have hands that hard…..
Liam Santiago is just egging us. He is intelligent enough to know what really happened the night of November 14, 2009. Hell, he is smart enough to get our comments. Nobody is that dumb enough to not know what happened or i could be wrong and that you are just dumb. Stop provoking us. LOL You are really smart you know that. NOT! Why hate on Pacquiao so much seriously? The guy is humble and fights for everyone like you. You know what happened you are just egging us.
Sincereley, Liam U F***er
here’s my thoughts. there’s simple physics. with the right amount of force plus speed, somebody caught unawares will be hurt. and there’s cotto’s team, who cant give him any advice while the fight develops. hell! what do you guys expect, cotto is just human. with devastating KOs in the early part of the game, and people dont give you intellectual support, its no wonder he lost.
so, not unless you guys can present hard evidence. just like the calcium residue found in margarito’s bandages. shut your traps.
you guys discredit people.
remember. pacquiao already had the power from the beginning, he got the power behind his shots but he’s too hot-headed to land them accurately with devastating effect. there’s his pitiful footwork and very low defense.
so he learned to protect his body, and punch more with brain. and you are sayin somethin is fishy. wipe your nose man
Las Vegas Athletic Commission – There’s NOTHING fishy about Pacquiao…which one is more credible?
hehehe!!!! did you not know liam that pacquiao is not a regular human being?tell you a secret..pacquiao is a superhero his real name is WAPAKMAN!!!!! so how can he get hurt or stop?try kryptonite!!!!maybe it will work like on superman.or get jinkee his wife to beat him.hehehehehe!!!!
It certainly would explain his meteoric rise to stardom. However, until I see conclusive evidence I will wonder at the marvel that is Manny Pacquiao! Modern day sugar ray and yes, we should enjoy it. But someone somewhere should make a point to catch Manny off gaurd, go to his house late at night and ask for a sample. There is a precendent for this in sport (ok, not boxing). But this is the 21st century. As fans we deserve to know that due diligence has been followed in these exceptional times (for an exceptional man). Anyone that knows anything about ROIDS will know they build strength and still fighers can be clean on the day of a fight.
Liam,
You mention before the fight that Cotto will kO Pacquiao and you will quit your job if Pacquiao beat Cotto. What the hell are you doinf here??/
–
yeah! WTF are you still doin here??!!! you’re a loser.
you’re saying these things, because you haven’t seen Pacquiao’s fights since he was still a flyweight. well, if you want to, search on youtube videos, you’ll see how he’s been knocking guys out with his left hand.
Liam, Manuela the idiots who hate Pacman for being great. read this morons
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4678252&name=rafael_dan
TO NO. 126,SO AS IF YOU ARE ACCUSING THE COMMISIONERS ARE JUST BUNCH OF LIARS,YOU NEED PROZAC AND VICODIN..HEHEHE
YOU KNOW HOW TO READ, BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHATS THE MEANING OF IT,(HOW PITY)….ANOTHER IDIOT… ON THE LOOSE
Wow good point…I been reading all these things about pacman. And its all fishy, how in the hell in comes up to wetherweight knock people out. And he was a lightweight and he was bearly winning. The commisioner needs to look into that see if he taking steriods…PACMAN a FAKE!!!
LIAM YOU’RE AN IDIOT!
What a joke?
Floyds daddy knows that Pacman will eat his son alive- big time…so this is the wright time to excuse his son future demolition…
It’s only ‘good comments’ because it’s not Santiago’s comments – he’s just quoting others.
if you read pacmans 60 second interview with british boxing news when asked what supplements he takes the responce (laughts) i carnt tell you that i own a sports store in the philippines? now that sounds a little fishy
If there’s something very fishy, I’m sure it’s you because you stink as a writer. What happened to your promise that you will quit writing if Pacquiao beats Cotto? There’s something fishy, maybe long hours of not having sleep because you can’t write a decent article has forced you to take something. Now, I’m not speculating but I think that writers should be checked regularly for substance abuse. How you sustain writing about boxing when all your predictions and views were all wrong is a mystery to me. The way you concoct every excuse possible to defend your crooked views make me sick to my stomach.
Now, my challenge to you Liam Santiago and to your cohorts Manuel Perez and Jason Hunton to write an objective article. So, how about it, can you rise up to challenge?
P.S. I intentionally did not put a Mr. before your name and that of your fellow jackals because all three of you don’t deserve it.
Paul Malignaggi, try putting something in the gloves. Then you’ll know what it is to knock a fighter out. (26wins 5KOs)
do you believe a boxer who can’t even match Hatton whom pacquiao destroyed?
ahahaha!
so much jealousy, all talk no walk.
can’t even prove anything! too bad!
I dont think there is any foul play here with Manny.
Thats what makes pacquiao great!
No matter what you say, the Pac-Man is so out of your league.
No Manny, No Money.
malignaggi is a born looser. LOL
Malignaggi is just SOOOO AMAZED with Pacquiao because that’s the thing HE CAN’T DO, KNOCKOUT HIS OPPONENTS.
Just looked at Maligno’s record, 26 wins, 3 losses and A VERY PITY 5 KNOCKOUTS!!!! only 5 KNOCKOUTS!!!
MALIGNAGGI IS A WEAK WELTERWIGHT…
Clear as a whistle, Malignaggi! You can say anything at him.. but he will not be with you in the same ring! DREAM ON.. Cry Baby!
Hey, you just wanna burst his bubbles because he is a greater fighter than yourself. You’re just trying to get into his face. That won’t happen, in your dreams! Cause your face easily explodes everytime you receive punches from your opponent.. Imagine when Manny is with you in the same ring.. Good luck! Haha!
why is pacquiao different?
ok paulie, the answer is simple – marquez is not pacquiao!!!
damn paulie, its like asking why you were beaten by hatton and why pacquiao beat hatton?
geez where is the logic in that question?
Pac beat the crap out of Cotto; Pac took advantage of the disadvantages that Cotto gave him the weight loss; the penalties that would have come if cotto was to gain any weight on saturday’s fight night; the inexperienced trainer. Cotto beat his self but Pac took the victory. Drugs and Pac would seem relavant but if there is no way to prove it, then Pac beat Cotto with his natural abilities, and Cotto’s Disabilities

Until now still u did not believe.What else u want to know about manny pacquiao or u are only have a jealous heart.Once in a life time only happens like this and it is manny have it because he is the only man in boxing history has a huge heart and very humble boxer.So if you want to be like him just have fear in God and help millions of people with your money that you won in boxing. You can do it….If not don’t get jealous with Manny because he is that kind of boxer i’ve found in history of boxing.
Liam Santiago and Paul Malignaggi are sorry losers and those who are really not satisfied with what they have. They just create in their minds crazy things that will pull people down. Paul Malignaggi is only an ordinary boxer and will never become a highly regarded champion. Why not just polish your boxing skills instead of too much of trash talking. People who talk too much are only JEALOUS and are finding ways to put down a guy who is now the best boxer of all times! JEALOUS, JEALOUS, JEALOUS because they can’t earn those kind of $$$$.
ANYMORE EXCUSES? HA HA
@mommy pacquiao that’s what I believe too. His calves, as referred by one of the commentators in the ODLH fight, were compared to that of a middleweight’s. In a fight, I look into a fighter’s calves because that’s where power comes from.
It’s not all about the upper body strength, it’s in the lower body where power comes from.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. That is why Pacman has been dubbed as the greatest boxer of his era because he’s no ordinary boxer. You can’t compare him with boxing tradition or the usual practice of standard boxers. He had the guts to do the extra-ordinary which is to take the risk with hard work and determination. Study Manny’s boxing history, from a skinny flyweight boxer who’s been knocking out much bigger opponents during those times to what he is now. The man can really punch and I mean punch hard and strong. That’s what legends are made of. Lastly, don’t make the Nevada medical experts who are in-charge of checking a boxer before and after the fight look stupid as if they’re not doing their job. In an interview after Mayweather’s allegation, the head of the Medical group who does the tests claimed for the record that they thoroughly checked Pacman for all illegal substances, from Steroids, drugs, performance enhancing drugs or any illegal substance known to medicine and they find nothing in those tests. Maybe the writer feels that Pacman’s ADRENALIN is not normal also and could be illegal as well…..hahahaha.
Manny is a once in a lifetime freak of nature. His secret lies in his calves. he has unusually large calves which carries the heavier weight and catapults his punches. just compare the tale of the tapes guys from DLH to Cotto. Believe
what i find so crazy about this is how mike tyson was regarded by many as one of the best and most dominating boxers in his prime, yet no one has even hinted at him taking roids. mike tyson out of anyone showed symptoms of steroid use. i mean come on this guy’s life is basically what you show to little kids for them not to take steroids lol.
@batangastig
I think someone should buy this domain and sell the owners boxingopinion.com LOL
Talk about calling the kettle black! Malignaggi, you son of a b itch, there’s something fishy about those wraps you fought against Cotto! Get a hot dog stand in NY, that’s probably all you’ll ever amount to, you f ag!
@batangastig
Because non-asians just can’t fathom the talent Pacquiao brings in the ring, AND in the training. They will try to find answers to the mysteries from others who also don’t know the answer. Since 24/7 Pacquiao has already told the public what he does to prepare for a fight: mind conditioning so he can maintain focus despite taking opponent’s punishment; hard-work so he’s physically ready for fight night; and faith in God, where the source his strength comes from.
Anyone who has eyes to see and ears open to listen will understand. But those who are blinded by envy and deafened by ignorance will never comprehend the sheer talent of Pacquiao. A little man who came from rags to riches.
the moderators of this site should reprimand any and all who show such disregard to the truth. yes this is a forum, but the writers in this site should show some form of integrity. i believe that many of you anti-pacman writers promised to leave the site yet you are still here writing the same old crap. if this is the quality of writers that will continue to post on this site, then i vote to change the name of this site from boxingnews to boxingopinion.com
honestly i havent seen so many fighters end up becoming washed up after fighting one guy. before each fight, they are in the best shape of their life, and look amazing in training so pacman has no chance lol. the day after the fight; oh they were washed up and they were weight drained.
its very sad how you guys are so tired of being proven wrong by this little asian man, that you had to bring up the mayweather family’s false allegations. how can you sleep at night knowing that you are responsible for discrediting this man’s legacy. manny has sacrificed hours and hours to become what he is today, and those are hours away from his family. so what give any of you the right to even doubt what he’s achieved.
@george hatton coming down in weight? I think you should take a look at the man’s record, he OWNS the light-welterweight division. PAcquiao fought him in his own weight! Pacquiao is the one moving up in weight while Hatton stayed.
Don’t blame Hatton’s bad habits, in between the fights that cause him to balloon up in weight, on Pacquiao.
If you want to write a hate article, do it right. You’re article has so many flaws.
Pacquiao was not dismantling lightweights.
– Did you watch David Diaz fight? You don’t call that dismantling? The guy got KTFO!!!
How do you go the distance with a guy like Barrera?
– Again, did you watch that fight? The guy ran away just so he can go the distance.
Lose to guys like Morales and draw with Marquez?
– They were very good counter-punchers what can I say?
then move up to divisions and knock Miguel Cotto about like a teddy bear?
– Cotto was a decent counter-puncher but not as good as Marquez. Cotto moves forward and he’s flat-footed.
So, if you’re going to write something biased, at least provide facts. Don’t use the burden of proof strategy.
Alex Ariza has him on a special regiment of enhancement suppliments that does’nt add too much size just strenght & resistance . Notice how fast we got Pac into shape and how fast he heals. The liver supplements are for the high protien intake ssssshhhhh dont tell know one, hahaha no just playing there to protect his liver while taking the cycles, sssssshhhhh dont tell no one……
Miss Malignanii can’t believe that power and speed can be achieved by a person of smaller stature and beat the hell out of every brawny guys. In Asian martial arts, they call it “ki” power coupled with plain hard work and mental discipline. Manny’s desciplined training routine includes takinga regular “yantok” hit to his body and perfect his balance using stepping stones. Manny uses his hip rotation and jump punch similar to karate’s fwd punch. Miss Malignanii is very jealous and can’t believe a Filipino can do this feat without using drugs. Your insinuation is obvious. Just go away loser!
Wow, Malignaggi actually got it right! Liam made a simple typo: ”If the situation is what I think it is: God, Pacquiao will not lose to any of these welterweights.”
I am a puerto rican and I believe that only fishy with pacman is the salty smelly fish that he eats during his hard time days. I think the guy is plain simple, ignorant and innocent for all kind of illegal substance. He works hard for it and people are watching him 24/7. Just plain ENVY and JELOUS thats all you feel. HA HA HA HA
That is why he is training with middleweights…he was hurt, he just didn’t want to show it to Cotto..it was a mind game..If you saw his training up close you should have witness how he allows his sparring partners to hit him with all their might…Manny’s regimen is different from other boxers and if Malignaggi wants to know first hand he can always try to ask Coach Freddie to take him so he can train with Manny or he can call Manny to fight him….from there he can judge. Other boxers who train alongside Manny said they cannot cope up with Manny’s energy…as for Floyd’s camp, they keep on saying that there’s nothing special about Manny and yet they can’t even believe what they saw in Manny…how’s that? Floyd, Sr…he will retract his statements once a lawsuit is coming..just like before.
you got to look at the weight.. . the guys that pacquiao fights come down in weight.. every time..
dela hoya, hatton, and cotto..
So naturally they just didn’t have the power they would normal have… So Manny looks utterly destructive… Manny is definitely good.. And he’s shown no fear, and almost no pain (throughout his career)
Roids wouldn’t be surprising to me.. Esp. when his strength couch is talking about kidney, and liver supplements.. . We’ll see what happens next year
so i couldn’t read the whole article. it’s hard to read anything with malignaggi comments but i did catch one thing – for malignaggi and any idiots who feed into this whole steriod “thing” . . if pac was on the juice that wouldn’t make him walk thru punches any better. sure it would make him more aggressive but it wouldn’t have any effect on him being able to take a punch. malignaggi’s comments are ignorant biased opinions, as i’m sure this article was. i thought you were quitting liam!? what a chump! so quick to judge those who fight but you’ve never had the guts to step in the ring yourself and you never will. but that a good thing actually, what a waste of guts that would be!
Please Liam and Paul stop being jealous it won’t do anything good to you…. In the first place like what the nevada athletic commission already stated that manny was tested before and after the fight and he was so clean and no sign of any steroids in his body…. Look Liam every time MP fights you have your predictions and all of those didn’t happen its only because you don’t know anything about PacMan, how he trained, how deep his love for his countrymen and how faithfull he is to GOD. You already lost your credibility as a writer and no wonder why your name is Liam because of all your “LAME” excuses.
“JEALOUSY!”
I REMEMBER RICKY HATTON WHOOP PAUL MALIGNAGGI HEHEHEHE. GUYS PLEASE DONT GET JEALOUS TO PACQUIAO.
deal with this…”PACQUIAO IS STRONGER THAN ALL OF YOU AND FOR THOSE TELLING STORIES ABOUT FISHY TING ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THEY ARE ALL “WEAK.”
you want to be like the Pacman ? Eat dog meat, “balut” – boiled duck egg before fetus hatches and raw fish marinated in vinegar. Moreover, train like there’s no tomorrow and take 6,000 calories a day to replenish your energy, let your trainer hit you hard with a stick on your belly and get used to the pain. The frigging guy doesn’t even trust ADVIL coz it might harm his body.
Let it go kids. You’re just jealous of the Pacman – the modern day Bruce Lee. You have run out of reasons to justify Cotto’s loss. Just accept it like what Cotto did.
Look at pacquiao’s legs there like tree trunks. You get most of your power from your legs, just ask Mike Tyson. Also, Ariza already admitted Manny takes supplements. So what, who doesn’t it’s not an steroid more like protein and amino acids. Case closed
Food for thought Bruce Lee wasn’t huge but he was lightning fast, literally. Speed=power/distance=time. Faster a punch can reach the target in the least amount of time will always generate more power than if you would. Manny Pacquiao=Bruce Lee.
santiago got the better of you guys (again!). just read his articles for a good laugh, that’s all. He keeps writting because he earns through your posts. the editors gonna fire him when you stop posting on his articles.
I don’t know why this joker is still writing. No integrity/ word of honor. what happen to your promised that you’re going to stop writing if Pacquiao beats Cotto.
Malignaggi is an idiot. Go gang up on the filipino guy. this is what makes manny a winner. he only has god!
anonymous. i hope you shut up so we dont have to read your 10 diff. comments on the same post 1 is enough give it a rest big mouth
yeah!right Paulie,Manny’s secret is fish.He’s eating a lot of fresh tuna in general santos city.He’s like Usain Bolt whose secret is yam in Jamaica.Why don’t you make your base in San Francisco and eat a lot of crab…whole including the shell.BTW,keep company with Floyd Sr.
Man that was’nt roids! it was that Cotto has never been an elite fighter! period! Cotto has always been over rated!
I don’t care if he’s on roids or not,When my boy PBF spanks that butt it won’t matter.Skills pay the bills not strength or some weird training method.It’s was no surprise that Cotto was hurt,he’s always getting tag like that,just this time the fighter[Manny] finished the fight.
i hope mollinaggie retires soon so we dont hafta suffer thru another one of his boring no action fites.
what the hell does mallinodgie know. his whole career has been nothing but stink. just cos hes NEVER knocked anybody out.
Pacman did get busted up plenty by Cotto. He was bruised up, broke his eardrum and messed up his hands. It’s not like Pacquiao is on PCP. He is just an awesomely skilled, fast, powerful fighter who is just plain better at the game than any fighter out there…next to fall is “Money” May. How sweet that will be!
Hey Liam,
Pac’s got 38 KOs! you idiot! it’s not like he suddenly acquired power at 145.
Obviously you’re not a fan of Pacquiao.
That’s 38 out of 50 or 76% you Moron! only 2 of those were at 140 and above.Go back to Grade School!
Mayweather has 25 out of 40 or a measly 62%.
Maladjusted Malignaggi had a laughable 5 out of 26…HA HA HA! But he knocked me out laughing!
I pity you “washed-up Paul” and Floyd Sr.Factis Manny is more gifted than yours.
Paulie is just jealous because Pacquiao has more highlights during his past three fights than Malignaggi had in his entire boxing career. The writers here and the boxers are talking smack because this is the only way they have a chance of beating Pacquiao. They can’t do it in the ring therefore they just try to ruin his name. How pathetic and sad….
you havent heard ofself belief? its more powerfull than anything else. hes got about 70 million filipinos praying for him and he witness some tragic lost during the storm disaster while training in the philippines and thats what he brought with him in las vegas when he fought cotto. do you have any idea how many people he helps in the philippines? no you havent a slight idea. do you know a lot of fighters, once, they hit the big time do they give something back,no, not that many…
so many sissies here with excuses…………
Hahaha u pathetic nob. I knew the instant I saw this no life fail, liam santiago that it’d be an article against pacquiao. What did Pacquiao actually do to you liam santiago? did your mom and ran? looks like it. give up your job you worthless pile of s and get a real job and your mom’s puss shaver.
how about evander holyfield taking all those shots from mike tyson in their first fight? holyfield appeared invincible but i’m pretty sure he was hurt.
Mike Tyson was so frustrated he just bit the guy’s ear off.
Pac can take all the roids he want or not! He will still be schooled by Mayweather Jr.
Losser, just jealous always make excuse,common guys just accept it. PACMAN is the man
money,power,everything beautiful wife and family PACMAN has it,
JUST JEALOUS
Its a strong statement to make from the softest puncher in world boxing. It IS unusual that pacquiao has such power and chin at higher weights, but hearns also did it, leonard did it…its called being exeptional
jealous>jealous i think this writer lose alot of money ,all pacmac fights???
God created strong trees but he also made ugly termites. He created a strong champ named Pacman but he also made ugly sourgrapers like this writer.
Ways of the Cowards! They can’t beat MP inside the ring so they just bark on the sidelines!
Liam… Always find ways to discredit Manny’s win, and who is Malanaggi anyway? He’s a nobody. First your talking that Cotto and manny should have fought at 147 since 2 opunds really made a big difference for you. Wake-up A$$hole, manny started out from a skinny 106 lbs taking on cotto at 145. Lame excuse biyatch.
This article is so ridiculous. It’s like celebrity tabloids just to sell newspapers. How about Pac just being an all time great? Babe Ruth hit more homers than some teams when he played. Did he take roids back in the twenties and thirties? Every once in a while there’s a great athlete that defies logic. Just enjoy it. If Pac’s using illegal substances, then let there be evidence first. This writing is uncalled for and inappropriate. BTW- mayweather snr. just talks so much crap he’s lost credibilty. Malinaggi can’t knock out anybody so it seems he’s just a hater.
Have you watched how pacquiao trained? He looked like he never ran out of energy. So are you saying je is on drugs all those time? Whatta creep! i cant believe you are crazy for putting up with this article.
This people saying something that is not true and they don’t have any eveidence at all are just jealous of what Pacman achieved in boxing. its history thats the reason, they are envy on it. No matter what you said , you have seen it in your own two eyes how good he is and you could deny it. But instead of giving credit to him , you moron make excuses to discredit him, because you are jealous.
coqui, you’re an idiot. You failed in life. Get the fu@k out of here. Don’t say sh!t if you don’t even know boxing.
yeup something fishi about paquiao he wen to fillipine to train they say that he went because taxes i dont think so jejejeje he knew that miguel cotto it was biger and better then him so you have to do something fishi to win that all i am goin to say i will do the same no commen
Why cant you give credit where credit is due?
Until there is some kind of clear evidence that Pacman is on steroids, he’s undisputedly the greatest fighter of our era.
We should be thankful to have someone like Pacman come around.
I think boxing wouldn’t be as exciting as it is right now if it weren’t for him.
What Pacquiaos done in the past few years is mental if hes not on something then hes just a freak of nature. I mean who else has done what he has done put on all that weight in ah few years and still be as fast if not faster and carry his power through th ranks like he has. Marquez tried and he ended up looking like a fat old slow man where as Pac looks like Superman.
this idiot is giving credit to malignaggi (biggest deuche i’ve seen on the ring)???
good point no.45, these writers such as liam and perez are idiots and bigots..no objectivity.. just like they are totally ignorant of the facts..they should be politicians for spinning and no word of honor..
ok PM what about trying to train more harder and getting hit by a bamboo stick,instead of talking like that loser mweather sr.Practice harder you’ve heard a word “Bless”thats what M.P. is he is one of those individual that is “Bless” with power,speed,be smart,and again having a very honest,intelligent coach/father figure trainer no other than Mr.Freddie Roach (I Salute You, You Rock “Sir”) behind him.You havent prove anything about boxing but talk crap.At one time we all believe Michael Jordan was an an alien because of his abilities to jump over six footer guys,M.Phelps is a half fish and That geat L.Bird of celtics has those small green gremlins behind him.P.M if M.P. is in drugs they should have found that way,way back against barrera,Jmarq,Odh,RHatton.Dude this is all about dedication,decipline,consistency, be intelligent,and more important “Blessing” from upstair,but dont worry learn how to pray, who knows the dude from upstair might throw you some blessing,and hey stay focus on your training keep a lot of training…..owww a one more thing eat a lot of rice,soup number 2,3,4,5 coz those are one of M.P’s favorite food start hanging with “Pinoys”they know what i’m talking about and Balot” too..and that,s that…
I really dont think pacman is on roids. He was hurt by Cotto during the fight. Pacman has a chin? He’s probably powered by rice. Haha.
i think speed beat cotto not steroids
There was an article with Pacman’s trainer- Pacman doesn’t even take Advil for headaches. He never received flu shots or immunizations as a homeless child. Thats why he believes that he’s so strong. A strong natural Immune system. Taking supplements/vitamins were a major hurdle for his trainers because he opposed it. But they are legal supplements/vitamins. This dude has got heart and is blessed by GOD plain and simple. The steroid accusation was created by Mayweather Sr. to downplay Pacman’s accomplishments.
Pacman takes urine tests before every fight- as with all boxers. These boxing commissions work in conjuction with state and federal authorities- an accusation like this means you are accusing the commission of illegal activities.
Pacman’s people can choose to sue Malanaggi and Mayweather Sr. for defamation of character but Pacman won’t because he’s not a bitter person.
is manny juicing up ?? he has carried his power up in weight …hmm
I have been there and done it mate jdele open your eyes mate its all happening right under your nose or are you freddy roach with a new name.
Another B.S. writer who thinks he knows about the sport of boxing.
I have been on about this for quite a while now i mean paulie malinaggi must have heard me speaking as i could not agree with him more manny was knocked out by a average flyweight with a poor record going into this fight back in 1986 in i think 30 seconds or so he was down and out the same guy walking through a big natural welterweight like cotto dont make sense you cannot put muscle on chins or can you these days try maybe the hgh growth hormone which apparently cannot be detected by a normal urine test.
Malanaggi is from New York and likes to wear make up in private. Dont listen to him hes an idiot.
im a big pac man fan…but even i got to admit what hes done in the last 2 years is absolutely ridiculous…i dont personally think he is on roids but if one day i woke up and read all over the news pac mans been caught for performance enhancing drugs i wouldnt be suprised and tbh his amazing development into an extremely powerful welter from 106 lbs would kinda make sense…but he may just be a once in a life time freak of nature like usain bolt in athletics…breaks all records and beats all odds just cos hes born like that
liam keep dreaming…if i’m Pacquiao I’m going to bang you head with that of malignaggi!
first off you should have quit by now
Secondly steroids dont help you take punches or make you tougher
thirdly what about your hero maywether didnt he come in heavey for the marquez fight
fouthly shouldnt you have quit by now, come on do everyone a favour
Paul lost a huge amount of money twice on his bet. The guy’s so frustrated and had to find some “fishy” excuses too to justify the reason for it. Sour grapes if you will.
I totally agree with Kyle … writers like this who are one dimensional and are not objective are indeed loosers. Try to be objective. Pacquiao is not perfect but he is not a cheater. Pacquiao never complains when he losses a fight … he pushes himself harder and train harder… and Malignaggi, don’t try to question the credibility of a successful boxer just because you have nothing to show to the world. Just train hard and hope someday you’ll be half the man of what Pacquiao is.
its called having a solid chin… and having HEART…. Pacquiao even admitted that Cotto’s punches really hurt… but he beat cotto mentally by showing that his punches had no sting (even though they did)…. just look and Pac’s ear (which had to be drained) and swollen eyes…. he was hit hard, but has the HEART of a LION…
This is because he fights with the pride of his nation…. the death of many filipinos during the recent typhoons were probably a driving motivation for Pacquiao to never give up…. PLEASE give credit where credit is due.
i see wat ur sayin manny got ko’d buy a flyweight but still take’s a hard shot from a proper welterweight dats a bit fishy pacmans a bum boy!!! he should fight sum 1 at their natural weight cotto should have been at his usual 147 the people who say 2 pounds dont make a diffrence then why did roach want it at that weight!!
“Firstly, Paul Malignaggi is a great fighter.” Geez Liam, how do you suppose to get taken seriously with comments like that. Malignaggi is a decent figher who can’t punch but has a big heart, and to describe him as great is quite a stretch.
Ok everybody come back to mine for a SPIT ROAST thank you.
Didn’t tommy hearns move up and knock people out left right and center… I couldn’t believe manny’s chin in the fight but what can i say? He is just exceptional.
this is losers paradise! what a site! i love all sour losers!
Liam,
You mention before the fight that Cotto will kO Pacquiao and you will quit your job if Pacquiao beat Cotto. What the hell are you doinf here??/
i think like floyd mayweather sr., liam santiago never finished high school.
PAULIE IS UPSET, BECAUSE HE CAN’T KNOCK NOBODY OUT
MY GRANDMOTHER HITS HARDER THAN HIM. IF HE WOULD FIGHT PAC MAN HE WOULD REQUEST A 60FT RING.
Damn u guys are going in hard on liam haha. If it ends up being true that pacman is on steroids then i think liam deserves an apology from u hooligans
untill then i am sure u guys will just slaughter him haha
how about that…a LOSER (Liam) fan of a LOSER (Hatton) quoting two other LOSERS (Malignaggi and Mayweather Sr)…its like blind leading the blind…lol.
BY THE WAY I THOUGHT U WERE QUITTING MO THER F U KER
I THINK LIAM SANTIAGO KNOWS SOD ALL ABOUT BOXING, HOW AN EARTH IS HE ALLOWED TO WRITE ARTICLES.
Does Margarito phycologically train like Pacman to overcome the pain trough being hit by bamboo? Its boxer has it own way to act like they can bear the pain. In the interview Pacman admitted that he just pretended that he is not hurt by Cotto. It is mind strategy to loose the hope of Cotto on his power punches.
LIAM CALLS MALANAGI A GREAT FIGHTER, AND CRITISES FIGHTERS FROM THE WILD CARD GYM LIKE KHAN AND PACAQUIO. LIAM U KNOW NOTHING ABT THIS SPORT WHY DO U BOTHER WRITING NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE SISSING UR MAMA
AND SHE WAS SH ITE
I HAD LIAM S MAMA 2
amir khan, get lost u silly boy
just more pac man haters, thats all im sayin
AND SHE WAS GOOD
You’re such a stupid writer. Who is Malignaggi anyway? Is one of the greatest fighters? … A guy like Pacquiao only comes once in a lifetime … so just enjoy it. I have faith in the way drug tests are being conducted before the fight. I bet this writer is such a looser … even a looser trying to run his own life … LOOSER … THIS WRITER IS LOOSER!!!
Liam u b astard i had ur mama lastnite
WUSS WUSS WUSS WUSS WUSS WUSS WUSS DO YOU HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT COTTO BREAKIN YA JAW YOU BIG BABY LOL WITH YOU HEADBAND ON LOL OH SORRY MATCHING COLOUR HEADBANDS LOL OMG YOU LOOK LIKE A WUSS ASWELL AND YOU CANT PUNCH EITHER
JEALOUSY PAULIE AWWW COTTO BEAT YOU UP AND YOU HAVE SPIT YA DUMMY OUT WHY DONT YOU GO HAVE A CRAZY STUPID HAIR CUT LOL ONLY FIGHT IVE EVER SEEN WHEER THE CORNERMAN HAD CUT HIS FIGHTERS HAIR HAHAHAHA WASTEMAN
Liam u tosser for u to call PAULIE MALINNAGI a great fighter shows how much u really know.
How amusing. The softer puncher in the game can’t figure out where the hardest puncher in the game gets his power from. Malignaggi should train harder and talk less. Then he might adopt a style of fighting that makes people want to watch him instead of falling asleep. Talk is cheap.
I’m a Puertorican fan of Cotto. But Manny Paquiao lis just that good he’s fast,strong,and a smart boxer.
jealousy, jealousy…
Another idiot writer. What a Moron? Miss Malignaggi can’t beat anyone. What a loser!
THE SAME MORONS SAYING THAT PAC IS ON ROIDS ARE THE SAME MORONS THAT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AND UFOS! WHERES THE PROOF GUYS NOW COME GET SERIOUS!
Good comments…. for once!!
