Manny wins a warm-up fight, and he’s celebrated once again as a national hero? Come on, I’m a big Manny Pacquiao fan, but somehow, winning a warm-up fight isn’t exactly an achievement that merits an audience with the President to me.

I think it’s time to put things in perspective, Manny still isn’t world super-featherweight champion. He fought Larios only to prepare for a rematch with… Erik Morales, whom he beat badly last time out, and who isn’t THE champion either.

In other words, Larios was just homework for an equally meaningless fight.

Dang it, Manny, don’t you think it’s time you went for the real deal? Look at this guy in the picture, the one who wears the REAL championship belt. Not that “INTERNATIONAL” belt you wear that shows you’re king of the second level division. Doesn’t he look good in the picture, posing like a true champion deserving of that belt?

Say, didn’t you beat him already?

Look, Manny, a rematch with Erik Morales isn’t that important. It’s all about a lot of HOT AIR. Yours and his. You should be fighting for a real belt in your next fight. Call the promoters and postpone the Morales match. You should be fighting Marco Antonio Barrera.

Unless, of course, deep in your heart, you know your win against him was just a fluke, and you’re too afraid to fight him again.

Wouldn’t you know it? He says he lost to you because he, “wore the wrong kind of gloves.” When did you last hear that lame excuse?
