Only hardcore fans are mad

A fight is better than no fight I guess, Mayweather fight looks dead.

Unfortunately its getting to the point of would you rather watch Manny beast fighters that are coming off a loss or watch Floyd once every 2 years box a safe fight. Thank god for the Super 6, Bradley/ALexander/Khan/Maidana, Pwill vs Martinez, The Bantamweight Tourney, Marquez, and other Boxers that come to fight the best.

Ali didn't face elite fighters each and every time and neither did guys like Robinson, Louis, Pep and others. Hell some of there opponents has records such as 5-32, 0-5 etc so Manny facing Shane (a top 5 WW) isn't the worse thing in the world.okay then--by that token, what do you think of floyd's resume?

These so called "real boxing fans/hard core fans" b1tch about everything and rarely support the sport of boxing. Sad part is they do these things and think there opinion actually matters Casual fans FTW!!! lol, quoted for truth

LOL good nailin' mate! On these boards, every boxer needs to face whoever they think would be the toughest. And every other boxer who has a loss is already shot. :nonono: The other boxers he mentioned didnt fail to fight anyone worthy for a year and a half(the duration after he fights mosley) while at the top of their game.

a huge majority of people buying boxing PPV's are casual fans.....

No Barrera? Morales? Marquez? :nonono: I left those out because there's no doubt in that time regarding Pac's agenda. He fought the best, period.

lol, you just jinxed Mosley. Now Pacman will win. :/

Honestly guys, nothing will ever change until the governing bodies and promoters learn to take care of their fighters outside of the ring. I'm good friends with several professional fighters and even they will tell you that often times, they have to put themselves first over the fans if it means maximizing their financial gain. These guys have families to feed and fighters don't get pension or retirement plans nor do they even get medical insurance. That all comes out of their pockets and they only get paid when they fight. What happens when an NBA player gets injured? He gets his full salary and a courtside view. When a boxer gets injured, he gets nothing. Obviously guys like Pacman and Mayweather have made more than ridiculous amounts of money and it would be great if they would focus more on quality opponents rather than the most profitable fight, but the only way to change this behavior is if the governing bodies, promoters, and managers make their fighters feel assured that they will be reasonably protected if they take on the biggest challenges.

for the making of Pacquiao vs Mosley. A couple of my friends who are casual boxing fans love the idea of this fight. They told me that it's great a fight because Mosley is very fast, bigger, powerful puncher, and has a lot of experience. I told them that people are not happy because Mosley didn't look good in his last fight and they were like "everyone has bad nights and it was a bad stylistic match up." They think that Pacquiao will show why he's greater than Mayweather because of the fashion he will beat Mosley. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too happy for this fight because I would rather see Pac vs Marquez/Berto. By the way, I wish to know if Arum had the finals say in the making of this fight and not Pacquiao. :ugh: Casual fans actually said,"bad stylistic match up"....hmmmm interesting.

that's not me sh1tting on B-Hop just pointing out he does and has did the same things you criticize Manny about. I have no issues with the path B-Hop has taken. He is an ATG and one of the best of this era. My point has always been this: All these guys are the same. Even legends like Robinson, Leonard and others have all done the same thing, so why single out Manny? Nothing is wrong with critizing him, but to go on campaigns and use fighters who are no better just sets yourself up as far as looking bad/hypocritical. Sure,but Ur still wrong,there is no way U can justify B-Hop fighting Roy with Roy was shot,then decide not to mention that he fought a lineal titlist 18 years younger his next outing!!U talk about supporting boxing but $hit on Martinez & B-Hop to defend Manny!!That's looking hypocritical!!2 fights in a row Manny is fighting fighters coming off mediocre performances!!On ppv,fight fans have every frigging right to call that bill$hit!!This past year after Manny chose Margarito I've stopped supporting him,U & others gave me red k,cause I kept it real,now U've had to discredit other fighters to back him up,that's bull$hit,plain & simple!!

Nah,never said B-Hop didn't take tune-ups,don't type words I never used!!But in B-Hop's fight after Roy Jones,he fought the lineal champion at 175 who was 18 years younger,this is a fact!! Now,after Pacman fought a cheater,who was destroyed by Mosley,(who team Pac didn't want to fight at 142)& was suspended for a year & beat a bum at a catchweight for a vacant title,he cherrypicks again!!In the form of Mosley,2 years removed from a win & 2 horrible performances!! This is hypocrisy,after all U were now trying to $hit on the fighter of the year & a 45 year old legend who just fought the lineal champion 18 years younger to defend Manny!!The only 2 fighters I continue to criticize are the 2 that are bad for boxing cherrypickers,wake up,don't get mad & do this:footinmou!! that's not me sh1tting on B-Hop just pointing out he does and has did the same things you criticize Manny about. I have no issues with the path B-Hop has taken. He is an ATG and one of the best of this era. My point has always been this: All these guys are the same.

Martinez taking the hard way....what was his best win prior to Pavlik? Alex Bunema and Russell Jordan....GTFOH. And while I respect and admire b-hop dude has been in his fair share of b.s. fights such as hakkar and ornelas just to name a few. BTW if we started a poll and asked who was more shot,the Roy that faced B-Hop vs this version of Shane....you know damn well everyone would say Roy. Funny thing is both B-hop and Manny were the top fighters in their divisions taking on these guys, yet you front like B-hop is the ultimate warrior taking on everyone and not taking easy fights himself.

Everybody be happy. It's ok for Manny to keep charging you for these mediocre bouts. There'll be a fourth consecutive one after this. That'll be ok too.

so that makes cherrypicking ok? Is it a great fight....probably not, but no one in the history of the sport goes out and faces elite fighters each and everytime.

What hypocrisy do U find from me??The guy u suck off was favored in every fight from 135 on up except for DLH!!Which means he was supposed to win.U should leave Hopkins & Martinez out of anything U use to try & make a point because they have taken the hard road to in B-Hops case greatness & in Martinez's case arguably pfp 1-3!!All Pacman did was fight top rank fighters with 2 at catchweights & now an old a$$ Mosleybut u continue to ride his nutts,the nerve.................. Martinez taking the hard way....what was his best win prior to Pavlik? Alex Bunema and Russell Jordan....GTFOH.

Ok, that's nice. :lol1: Response of the month. :lol1:
