Pacquiao was overhyped and got badly exposed by Marquez
November 15th, 2011
By Babatis Banda: Looking at a number of Manny Pacquiao’s fights, you will realize that Bob Arum and Freddie Roach did a good job in building Manny’s name. The definitive fights in Manny’s ascendancy to the top were so choreographed such that it was inevitable for the casual fan to jump on the band wagon. To a larger extent, Manny and those around him also fell to their own making, they built a big belief in themselves too.
I give respect to Manny’s win against Miguel Cotto. That fight was indeed exciting, and Manny won in style but again, we saw that Manny was very vulnerable when Cotto boxed and moved intelligently until he thought he could out-muscle Manny, and that was the making of his end. There is no doubt that Marquez has exposed Manny as just a good boxer, not anything extra-ordinary. The press and team Pacquiao built the illusion in hard-core Manny supporters and most casual boxing fans that Manny was indestructible, and yet we know he is very vulnerable against class opposition.
Information technology has allowed unprecedented selling of products through half-truths and sometimes, clear lies. This happens in most sports too and it is called ‘hype’ and the casualty is you and me. Manny Pacquiao, though a good boxer was a product of clever selling, but he will never come out of the deep-hole Arum and Roach dug for him, for Floyd Mayweather junior will wipe the myth away soon.

one lesson frm pac-jmm3 : quit boxing or w/draw frm it, if u hav doubts on judges & fear of losing.
Judges are important part of every sport who hv qualifications 2 declare a winner. those w/ better qualifications than 9 previous judges-apply now 4 pac-jmm4.
Manny Pacquiao’s win over Juan Manuel Marquez is a hard earned fight compared to Floyd Mayweather’s against Victor Ortiz cheap shot victory with a mixture of cheating.
And by the way u people making fun of little people you’re karma must be awfully bad u will pay in the end what goes around comes around
Ok let’s see (example) I have a nice roles on but u want it and u know u are going to kill me or knock me out same thing in the ring
@gerson,
Pacquiao got exposed as a bum. Pacquiao is a decent fighter but he’s fought only B or C rated boxers.
exposed means nothing until you say what kind of expose, otherwise it is an empty word with no meaning.
Manny is a good fighter. But so were many others. As far as I can see he has no easy answers to solving Floyd
Midgets, Midgets , Midgets, ……Please ! You will ride this Midget king to the bottom of the sea! Not now , not 5 yrs ago. I would go far say that not even in the next 2 yrs could Midget Man defeat Floyd!
It has always been known that PEDquiao was overhyped. Let his fans tell it, PEDquaio was cleaning house like he was some sort of Foreman and Tyson, when he was just the benefactor of great marketing by Arum who signed the likes of Cotto, Clotty, and Margarita who are all slow footed and slow handed fighters that are tailor made for PEDquaio. That one punch to KO’d Hatton, who at the time probably should have been in rehab for drug use went to the head of PEDquiao fans and the expected the same results when he fought the two senior citizens in Mosley and Marquez. When that didn’t happen, now all of a sudden they are running from Mayweather and opting for a 4th fight with Marquez thinking that a convincing win the next time out will reestablish the PEDquaio myth of greatness, instead of accepting that he was just plain ole overhyped.
those whoever shots two birds at the same time can not either one. pacman cant be a politician and a boxer at the same time.
@Simon, did Marquez step on Pacquiao’s wittle footies? Did it Huuut? Marquez stepped on Pacquiao’s footies, and Mayweather huuut Pacquiao’s wittle feelwings….
Poor wittle baby!
manny was exposed to what? but the video exposed marquez steeping on the foot of manny.
What a bunch of cry babies. JMM is a great boxer like it or not. This a fighter that has fought anyone they put in front of him. When he fought Mayweather he must have been out weighted at least 25 pounds. Till this day we don’t know the offical weight was Mayweather. Pac and Mayweather both own Las Vegas.
He’s not hype, he’s a great fighter.
Garbage.
I dont understand how manny was badly exposed?…like its a sudden surprise?..JMM fought the same way in his last two fights, maybe a little bit more cautious but thats it…watch marquez/pacquiao I,II and you can learn how to fight pacquiao in that fight also…
Its good to hear that pachaters are no longer talking about Pacman’s Peds use, they found out he’s just human after the Marquez fight.
yes sir he got exposed. Marquez won that fight.
Manny Pacquiao is not an elite fighter if you measured him skill vs. skill with the other elite fighters. Don’t forget, Manny Pacquiao fought a 38 year old man that had been through 59 very difficult bloody wars. That 38 year old man defeated Manny Pacquiao in the mind of most fans, although not getting the decision.
an elite fighter looked normal against another elite fighter, no one was exposed
Pac is rubbish. He’s not worthy to enter ring with floyd.
So what if I’m overhype …
that is a genius of Bob Arum..you know .!
Creating a cash cow is Bob’s forte and he is a businessman.
Whatever your hatred to Bob is nothing to him. Bob is on the top of the world when talking of boxing business. Lot of you are jealous of his stature.
ahhhhhhhhh, poor baby pacman ‘lost’ the fiight cos Marquez troddy on his footy, poor baby,
The midgets are simply amazing. If you pounded them in the head and showed them painfully in both eyes they will never see. Manny Pacquiao is a C+ fighter. PERIOD! Marquez is an ELITE fighter. He exposed Pacquiao.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. WOULD WIPE THE TOWN WITH PACQUIAO…EASILY!
@24 day cutoff: You don’t know what a 2 lbs can do in boxing. LOL you know nothing in boxing. M0RON.
@ the bad
Lol so ur saying the only reason mayweather breezed through marquez was because of 2 lbs? Lol ur an 1d1ot
Pactards are so stupid its amazing. Southpaw and orthodox fighters always get their feet tangled. As for being aggressive, you obviously think floyd is rubbish and marquez is rubbish because you do not have a clue about a back foot counter puncher.
Pactards, please just face it, the stepping on the toe thing is a really weak excuse guys. Cmon have some dignity. Floyd fans know boxing, we don’t watch his fights fo kos, we kno and enjoy the sweet science. Y do u think we knew pac was a fraud?
Question: Who will be the fighters in this featured bout:
2 lbs. over vs. foot stepping warrior.
Tell floydie to say Pacquiao and he will say Mosley. Thats how scared floydie of Pacquiao.
@the bad , manny loss you know it. He had no roids for a change, And was outboxed by a guy that fmj took to school.
Just like we have always said, Packman is and will still remain a cheat, like the thief he was before coming to boxing.
Pactards have no brains, the arguments are like stories coming out of children. Manny did not complain that Marquez was dirty, infact, he admitted that Marquez was a super counter puncher. Why is everybody jittery to put up yellowman with Floyd?
Tell floydie to sign the contract and fight Pacquiao. Easy to defeat Pacquiao, Pacquiao will have a hard time with floydie. just sign the contract and fight Pacquiao.
chaet cheat cheat! you all know he got his a5s wooped.wake up pactards
your rewriting the rules of boxing now pactard ! Hit and not be hit is the art. He got face smashedall night long
pactards, keep defending. he got his yellow A5s wooped
freddie roach forgot to pump the roids up his yellow A5s
@john, i agree. it was a sad night for boxing.All these guys going on about standing on feet ! Its not ball room dancing ! Manny loss why cant you all admit it ?
This decision stunk the place out!!I’M a pacquiao fan! but I watch boxing to see the best in with the best,
Marquez won the fight hands down!I would go as far as to say 9 rounds to three.
@tony yah marquez schoold pacquiao the dirty side of boxing.. Lol!!!
The UK broadcast even included 140 lb world champion and Pacquiao sparring partner Amir Khan who himself had Marquez comfortably ahead in the fight and he seemed almost resigned to the fact that Pacquiao would lose
@ crottyhur, see thats the difference you are all follower,ready to defend him no mater what happens.Im a neutral boxing fan who tells it how it is !!
@ bong, you seem to be dedicating your life too proving manny won a fight! when he won the fight ! are you not wasting your time? or do you know the real truth ??
@messi…
Manny WON, no need for him or his follower to make an excuse. People brought up the cheating of marquez show to people like you that even with that unsportman’s conduct, Marquez still lost.
standing on mannys foot whilst hitting him,standing on his foot so he was off balance , blah blah blah ! manny got the decision why make up all these excuses!Standing on feet happens when fighting a lefty! The world watched the fight we will all make our own minds up !
pacfanatics are biching again. get over kid!!
Marquez is an exceptional boxer and has the resolve of a warrior. pacquiao was made to look feeble in that fight and the whole world was witness.
jmm in my opinion is only good for a draw & not a win after 3 fights w d pacman. he had never knock down pac for all his boxing dexterity. Can he show a convincing win in d 4th. Let us see.
Hey Babatis Banda! You’re off your pedestal claiming that MP is overhyped. You should be more impressed that Manny won despite the cheating done by Marquez and the foot cramps. Shame on you for making this irresponsible article!
JMM – is a big COUNTER-STEEPER…
Tis’ True as Daylight is to a Vampire. Just Google or YouTube “Marquez foot stomping or stopping trick”. Really an Eye opener. Pacquiao complained of leg cramps. No wonder! Threw off his Rhythm. I guess after this Expose all that is left for JMM is to retire.
Watch the fight is slow motion and pay extra attention to JMM foot. It clearly shows the “stepping” incident. Its not illegal but its a cheap trick.
New boxing move step foot punch 1-2-3, step foot punch 1-2-3
COMPUBOX,COMPUBOX,COMPUBOX!!…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MARQUEZ WHOOPED THAT DOG EATER!!!!
I think you’ll find that it was boxing writers like yourself who hyped manny up all these years. true boxing fans already knew what mayweather would do to manny.
NOW WE HAVE VIDEOS CICULATING IN THE WEB TALKING OF MARQUEZ STEPPING ON PACQUITAS RIGHT FOOT INTTENTIONALLY…COME ON PHILOS…PACQUITA IS A LEFTY LITTLE GIRL AND MARQUEZ THE NEW KING OF THE WORLD IS RIGHT HANDED,SO STFU IF U DONT KNOW WHAT U TALKING ABOUT!!1!1
there isnt anything worst in life than liying to urselves…philos are crying in defeat,,,they just cant accept that jmm marquez gave pac a true boxing lesson and show the world that mayflower would beat pacquita hands down!!!
Yeah, a new and improved FOOT-STEPPING MARQUEZ. New boxing move STEP 123 PUNCH, STEP 123 PUNCH. LOL!
To all the Filipinos who’ve forgotten Pacquiao’s heroism for your country, sad to say that it’s very frustrating and “crabby”. Pacquiao clearly won the 3rd battle, Marquez the challenger backpedalled most of the time and didn’t bring PacMan down. A must see? Mayweather can fight with any of Cotto and Margarito which will give as an idea of how he will stand a fight with Pacquiao. Mayweather obviously avoids them including Pacquiao, all-strong slug-out fighters. Mayweather may have beaten Marquez but give him a rematch with the new improved foot-stepping, head-butting Marquez (videos now viral on youtube) and let’s see.
And how many times did Marquez stepped on Pacquiao’s foot and punch. Marquez fouled Pacquiao all night long and still fall short of beating him. Clear punch with a clear stepping on the foot. Nice move but still fall short of winning.
@ Jason
You are simply pathetic.
Marquez hiting pacquiao with hooks,uppercuts,jabs long rights clean and clear shots something pacquiao couldn’t do he looked busy but he just kept dancing around pretending he was boxing on the damn jab but he has no boxing skills he never in the fight hurt Marquez
Marquez won its sad in the Philippines they also say Marquez go robbed all over the world how can someone call that boxing when manny go beat he go a boxing lesson by Marquez even mannys fans boooooing him that’s sad now more than anything manny needs Marquez

Manny can box I don’t get why people called that boxing he look terrible bad
MARQUEZ schooled pacquiao made pacquiao look bad
MARQUEZ WON GAVE MANNY A BOXING LESSON
Manny is a good fighter but he’s fought B or C rated boxers. He got pretty busted up agaist Marquez. Dude won’t take a drug test for close to $50 million. That in itself is proof positive that the man in on something period.
Exposed? So what he won. That’s all that matters.
JMM was on Peds and Pacquiao was not, thats why JMM absorbed everythung Manny threw at him!
Calling Manny just a good boxer & nothing extra-ordinary somewhat diminishes JMM’s achievment.
JMM is a brillaint boxer / puncher with flawles technique & a heart to go with it. There’s no shame in losing to a man like that.
Oh yeah, Manny didn’t ‘lose’ Now that’s a shame.
