PROFESSIONALISM

Juan Manuel Marquez arrived today to help promote his upcoming fight with Manny Pacquiao.  It is so refreshing to see two professional athletes respecting each other on and off camera.  For too long, boxing's pre-fight hype has been filled with trash talking, hype and testosterone-filled antics.  This is a good example.  Like in the boxing ring, we can disagree with others in the senate, boardroom, or classroom but at the end of the day, let's shake hands and walk away as friends.  RESPECT!  This is what's missing nowadays.  If two legendary champions like Pacquiao and Marquez can do it, why not "ordinary" mortals like us?
