Throwing Your Brains Out: In Life and In the Ring
by Troen Gonzales, Boxingbulletin.net
True in typical Pacnuthugging fashion, various movie images get Photoshopped with astounding wit or predictable inanity.
For those of you who haven’t been icebroken with the term “Pacnuthugger”, you clearly haven’t been to the hotbed of Pacmania madness: the Philboxing forum, and its front act, mannypacquiao.ph.
Okay, we all know a nuthugger is someone who hugs… well…… that scrawny bundle containing little white ninjas that make you a man (or a father, if you got careless). It’s actually a metaphor for someone whose loyalty for someone else is so way up in the sky, it may exceed rational or logical constraints, and derails balanced opinion-making. It’s meant for one who ignores facts and bashes just about anyone who tries to denigrate his/her idol. The extreme types are bad-mouthed, bigoted, and sometimes overtly racist, and they usually frequent in forums because they don’t have the balls (pun intended) to personally square off with those who disagree with them.
Obviously, you know who a Pacnuthugger will die for.
But they have their good sides, like humoring us with the below picture for instance. (I’m not really sure if that’s a product of Pacnuthuggerism, but it’s a good one anyway and it got me floored.)
Manny just crossed over from DC Comics to Marvel.
Me? I’m just a really really big fan of Pacman, whom I see still has weaknesses in his boxing repertoire, despite his incredible, mind-blowing improvement. As fond as I am of him, I’m not just gonna throw my brains away.

That’s right. And that’s something like what Hatton did against Manny. Once the Hitman was aggravated, he chose to revert back to an amateurish, 10-year-old strategy that worked against B-class fighters; a club fighting strategy that failed miserably against elite pugilists like Mayweather and Pacquiao.
If only Hatton held his right arm guard much higher, he would have lasted more rounds. Sorry man. Even if you had prior rifts with “Joy” Mayweather Sr., listening to your coach does really pay off.
Kudos from a forum I forgot to remember.. concerning the “Manny-rine” image. Photoshop editing was flawless. lol
