Manny Pacquiao looked like a fool after his unimpressive victory over Joshua Clottey. Before I berate Manny Pacquiao, I extend my congratulations to Manny Pacquiao on an expected win over Joshua Clottey on March 13, 2010 at the 8th wonder of the world, Cowboys Stadium. As a Filipino American, his importance to the Philippines makes every victory a special occasion for Filipinos. However, a victory of Joshua Clottey doesn't compare to an opponent that should of been, Floyd Mayweather.
As Manny raised his arms in celebration, the crowd looking for Tylenol after screaming "Manny" all evening, it was a glorious sight until the post-fight ringside interview with Manny. Manny Pacquiao & his celebrated trainer, Freddy Roach took several shots at Floyd Mayweather & his boxing camp. I couldn't have thought of a more classless act after a victory.
I strongly believe that Manny Pacquiao is the reason Floyd Mayweather wasn't opposite of him Saturday evening. It was Manny Pacquiao's reluctance to agree with a drug policy that wasn't even asking for too much that the greatest fight in the last half-century didn't happen (not that it won't ever happen). I'm still angry at Manny, one of our Filipino heroes, but it's your fault that Mayweather wasn't your opponent last night.
