He had such a straight win record that having lost twice after that is disappointing. I can never blame anyone for his loss. The thing that concerns me more is his health and his life after the battle. I think he should be retiring and focusing on his family life. He's also a politician and it's tough being one and at the same time a boxer. That's quite a challenging life Manny is living.

I don't think money should be concerned about money. It's his boxing reputation that ought to concern him and his health too. I just think that he should retire before he gets truly hurt.
Come to think of it, when Manny knocked down his rivals in the ring, people don't care so much about what happened to the rivals afterwards. But when Manny was knocked down, everyone worries! Manny is so loved and admired by many people, not just Filipinos.

I am not worried about Manny Pacquiao's lost to Juan Manuel Marquez. Nonito Donaire and Brian Villoria is still there for us. Donaire's next fight this sunday against Jorge Arce. I hope Donaire will win this in order to cover Pacquiao's lost.

yeah, true, however the thing is, both boxers, does not really represent the philippines, in fact, villoria is oftern referred as the hawaian punch and donaire is struggling to even speak in filipino. unlike pacqiao who is the epitome of the filipino dream, grew in the province of gen san, worked his back off at a very young age, started fighting and achived superstardom. he is the true filipino dream.

yeah, you bet it is really a sad day for the country, its like we were all expecting something, and saw another thing... so that is making everything quite more confusing and when reality sank in... boom we were faced with reality that our bet has lost and we put so many reasons to justify why he lost. =(

he just got nailed by a very strong punch in he's eagerness to finish off Marquez and again forgot that the opponent is a strong and good counter puncher, there is always that possibility when two good fighter fight toe to toe, it would have had happened to Marquez too. What worries me more is the way he went down, could be an indication that he's career is on the decline

Hands down to Mr. Marquez, he has proven himself but my heart is still with Pacquiao. Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Haha joking!
