ALL GLORY IS FLEETING
"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came *****eteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
- Gen. George C. Patton
It's been an incredible run for Pacquiao.
But this is it, the Pacman has "bitten off more than he can chew", MannyPac is "writing checks his body can't cash".
The signs are there...
From the bizarre:
1) Margarito is the next Torrecampo
2) This is Manny's 13th fight since last losing to El Terrible. On November 13, Pacquaio will fall.
to the factual...
3) Pac at this point is a natural lightwelter. Not even welter. At welter. A middleweight Margarito will walk through Pacquiao's punches. Think about it, Antonio walked through Cotto's punches and those same punches destroyed Pac's ear. If you watched the Mosley fight, Sugar had to throw at multiple haymakers to bring Antonio down...and that was a Margarito who was just psychologically "out-of-it". He'll be focused now. Margarito is no weight-drained Dela Hoya. Manny is facing a full- blown middleweight pressure-fighter who is hungry and has something to prove.
4) We're starting to see a different Pacquiao. Manny is starting to believe his own hype at the point of mocking Mayweather's achievements.
Hubris the conqueror of many a great fighter and the sword to the meek and humble.
5) Both Arum and Roach admit that this is Pacquiao's worst camp. It's all catching up to Pacquiao.
6) Truth is this fight was made, not because it was the best fight out there, but the one that could generate the most money outside Pacquiao-Mayweather. Karma's a bad@$$ biatch and this karma is prime to backfire on Top Rank. Down goes it's cashcow. Goodbye to the best possible superfight! All downhill from here on out.
After all, "all glory is fleeting"...
...the signs are all there.
