Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

Take it easy.

You are already Light Heavyweight. You should already know by now how it is like to be a poser here in pinoygreats.

Posers here joke and banter around a lot. I am simply bringing this to the attention of the TS by injecting a teasing but dark humor to his essay.

The mood of his essay is, without a doubt, serious and highly respectful of Manny Pacquiao which is fine but it was done in such a way as to be very morbid. Eulogy po yong "arrive" and I am not the only who noticed it. It is like my way of telling him not to overreact with his emotions as he could be sendng only the wrong impression instead.

As you lay down motionless in the canvass, I felt like a part of me died. Manny you have given me and my son plenty of good memories. Over the years, your fights have been our special bonding time. I tried to teach my son the nuances of boxing as we watched you in wonder and admiration. Your speed and skills were dazzling. With every punch that you took, as if we got hit with you. When you made the sign of the cross, we knew that you were asking for help from a power greater than any of us. This is where you made you biggest impact. Your simple ways and acceptance of God's plans made you bigger than just boxing. I could teach my son, that here is a man who instead of rejoicing in his personal victory offers it to God. Every victory, every defeat, the blood, sweat and tears that you offered for our sake speaks of the love you have for those who believe in you. You have failed many times in your life but even in failure you taught us how to rise up from devastating defeat. Despite all your flaws, weaknesses, and frailties you were our hero and will continue to be our hero. You will probably fight again but we know that the reign of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the pound for pound best fighter of the decade now belongs to the annals of history. You may have lost this battle but I think you are now ready to fight bigger wars. I would just like to say thank you for the memories of a great man. Not just a great boxer but a great man who will forever live in our hearts. You may have been diminished as a fighter but never as a God centered human being. May God always keep you and your loved ones in His loving care.
