Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

5.) He should bring back his focus and dedication to boxing. This should be the core of his return.

Like you said, this is the core. So this should be #1.

Everything else will fall in to place once he has set his mind into committing to boxing as his top priority.

Kayo nman, pabigla-bigla. Team Pacquiao is not broken. If it is not broken, don't fix it. Same team when Pacquiao became number 1 in the pound for pound rankings so why change? Every boxer suffers a lost. That is the reality of it. Hindi parati panalo. Si Joe Louis (tama ba spelling ko?) was knocked out by Schmeling. Ali was knocked down by Frazier. This is boxing. Ganun talaga. What I am so sure of is Pacquiao is not damaged goods. Pacquiao can rise again. Why did I say and believe that? He has proven himself so many times. He got knocked out cold in the Philippines when he was becoming popular by Rustico Torrecampo. After that loss he became a champion by knocking out Sasakul. Then he got knocked out again because of weight problems. Pacquiao picked up the pieces again and became the face of boxing in America. Pacquiao is a different breed of boxer. He has very strong determination. His will to win is impeccable. Saka matapang na tao si Pacquiao. I really believe there is nothing to fix. Wala tayong magagawa, nasalubong niya ang right ni Marquez. Ganun talaga. Ang dapat lang sana next time to be sure there is no peds involved, random bloodtesting from the start of training up to the fight. I am not saying nag peds si marquez. But to get rid of suspicions, dapat may bloodtesting as random as it can be.

Does Manny Pacquiao has the nerve to say "NO" on politics, pastors, friends, show business, etc?

If he can't say NO... then goodbye glory days... he has to many masters to serve.

Even a common person with to many side-lines for a living... later or sooner he will get exhausted.

There is no stopping Manny from making a ring return just like the way he handles his political, marriage, and spiritual life. Like any other fan who prefers him to retire it is also imminent to ponder on what would be my disposition of his return.

For me, as a fan of his hard work, determination, and physical attributes - which unfortunately declines gradually - I would still be hoping that he would make a triumphant return. As a Filipino it's necessary to rekindle those positive attributes that we are known for. But for his return I would strongly recommend the following:

1.) Get an assistant coach that could help freddie layout a good training camp and fight plan for the next bout. I'm quite sure that he would not change freddie as hi main coach for mutual and psychological reason.

2.) Take buboy out of his corner on fight night. No offense to his long-time buddy but I think he's not of a help to Manny on the training level. The truth is, he has become Manny's distraction in the corner for he most of the time gives instruction in panic tone before roach does. Sometimes buboy would show his distressing emotion when Manny is in trouble in the fight. It would also be an insult and distraction to freddie having buboy in the corner taking charge of the instruction most of the time.

3.) Follow Ariza's method diligently. Most of the time on Ariza's interview he would stress how Manny neglects his method of conditioning. It takes a toll on him as the result of his 4th bout with Marquez. I think Manny should trust Scientific method of conditioning for it significantly provides huge advantage in the fight.

4.) Fight like a vintage fighter. He needs to be more technical by means of being aware of the punches coming to him through controlled aggression and dissent defense. He should learn how to move away from power punches. In his KO loss to Marquez he moves towards the right side of Marquez where the power punch caught him.

5.) He should bring back his focus and dedication to boxing. This should be the core of his return.

6.) Reduce his media exposure. This I believe is the main reason why he develops bad habit in training and takes away his discipline. Celebrity complex is a major diversion of a boxer's focus and dedication of the sport. Celebrity complex gives an egocentric-like effect which affects one's logical reasoning.

Hoping Manny the best of this year and the years to come... Good luck on his effort of redemption.

A change in his belief is one of the reason why Manny Pacquiao loss.

his usual ritual was not perform during the fight and his concentration was affective.


Pacquiao will never be the same if he fight PED Marquess. Style make fight.

Pacquiao must chose an opponent suited to his style for his comeback fight.
