I look through some of the threads on here and get frusrated with the side taking. Any true boxing fan will appreciate both fighters for what they bring to the sport. Personally, i prefer watching Floyd but i can appeciate how skilled Pacman is.
Please tell me some of you fellow boxing fans share my opinion!...
imo **** floyd and manny if there not gonna get it on i love boxing i dont hate any paticular fighter i have my favourites like anybody else i like floyd and manny but i also like many other boxers past and present from people coming up to the champions we have now i just love the sport thats why i compete in it i think its the truest sport on the planet it will show you as to who you truly are and i think both these fighters know deep down in side of one another that each fighter poses a threat that they have never encountered before for people to be hating on them the way some do is crazy of course you can be a floyd and manny fan you watch them coz they box and when they are done you will continue to watch boxing not unless your gonna go to all of pacquiaos politcal rallies or staring at tv all day watching 50cents music videos with floyd dancing in the background sipping on mount dew boxing is what we are fans of
I'm a big Mayweather fan and I've got no shame saying that. Some people don't think you can be a fan of a fighter to still be a boxing fan? WTF!?!?! This sport is built on great rivalries, it is natural to pick a side.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate Manny but I think all Floyd fans are slightly bitter about the fact that he got all of these accolades that should have been Floyd's and Floyd was called a ducker.
It is only now that Manny has looked like crap and lost that people are realizing Floyd was/is and always will be the better of the two.
Still kicking ass at 35 years of age!
Im a fan of both for life. both are just different. and both are also responsible for the fight not happening. but im leaning about 10% overall that floyd is really the one to be blamed and ducked more.
both are extraordinary and are the best of my era..
cant be a floyd fan coz i hate cowards
Yeah. It changed the whole dynamic of being a fan of the sport in general. How can any person who elected to be a boxer avoid a fight the whole world wants to see? Even Mandela attempted to mediate, but to no avail.
I think I've been called a flo-mo in like 4 or 5 different posts today, yet I expose both sides of the nut-huggery.
Haha mushandeen your the biggest hater on this site.
cant be a floyd fan coz i hate cowards
See thats what makes you pathetic, calling someone a coward who has earned millions out of prize fighting, another cyber warrior congratulations you're whats wrong with the world.

You can. Some posters actually confine themselves to a totally different NSB, and in this alternate universe, any disagreement you may have with them automatically labels you a d*ck rider of the "bad guy." You experience a set of stages as you consciously observe and converse (sometimes unintentionally) with these individuals: The WTF Is Wrong With This Guy Stage; The Are We Still Talking About This Stage; and finally, The I'm Sorry I Just Can't Do This Anymore Stage.
Disclaimer: Different emotions factor in for different personalities
I been a fan of mayweather 4 along time but pacman I like seening him fight but not a fan of him tho but there both good 4 boxing hand down....as much people hate may and pacman they still watch them fight
I just don't like racist people. Your comment about Asians was rude and tactless.
All the racist sh1t that p^ctards say on here. Child please. All the monkeys and what not. Please what I said was bigotry light at best.
Compare the two cottos. The cotto vs manny and the cotto vs floyd. You can visually see cotto in better shape.
And marquez beat manny in the third fight. Manny knew himself! Did you not see the shock on his face! Bob Arum knew! You could see the relief on his face.
Get the hell out of here with that sh:t, the Marquez fight could have gone either way. And please stop it with the Cotto nonsense, you're embarrassing yourself.

When was Cotto Dehydrated? And IMO...JMM took the fight with Floyd for Money and Money only. JMM looked bad that fight and it was nothing Floyd did! ....It was a lack lustering fight that was booed to lack of hype. Nothing exciting at all, from either. Now when JMM and Manny fight.....you got action! ANd JMM comes up short every time. Cant recall JMM ever beating PAc....Can you? The SSM fight on both sides i didnt give either credit for. SSM should have retired long ago! LOL Cotto dehydrated....thats funny! There goes #3!
Compare the two cottos. The cotto vs manny and the cotto vs floyd. You can visually see cotto in better shape.
And marquez beat manny in the third fight. Manny knew himself! Did you not see the shock on his face! Bob Arum knew! You could see the relief on his face.
obvious point.....Floyd is a b class fighter. A marketable tool. Nothing big about him! He retires to duck prime fighters. He avoids rematches with DLH who nearly beat him in a close fight. He fights JMM knowing hes moving up TWO divisions and Cheats him on the scales to GAIN an obvious advantage. He sucker punches Ortiz for the win...Fluke win! He waits until Shane and Cotto is on the downward slope ....Welllllll there is your obvious.
I agree, he nealy got beat by DLH. And he sucker punched victor, but he would have won the fight anyway. As for marquez moving up two weight classes, didnt he move up to fight pacman and BEAT him. He hardly landed a punch on floyd, and that was all due to Floyd being overweight? Manny fought shane around the same age as Floyd did. And as i said before, Cotto was that dehydrated that gandhi's foot had a more water content.
Floyd brought me into boxing. I used to brag about Floyd to my friends back when the only boxer they thought existed was Oscar. They laughed. Fast forward a few and Floyd was the number one P4P. And then I saw Pacquiao. Midge blew me away. I love them both. I buy every one of their fights. $70 PPV HD? Money May? Lets do it. Pac-man? Lets do it. Every time.
It blows me away that both of their incompetent fan bases can't appreciate the other. Sure, favor one. That's what being a fan is all about. But to completely discredit the other as if he's a bum tomato can or something?!?!
Disappear you pathetic clowns. The boxing public would be so much better without you flaming fairies.
Bob Arum emailed that message to every boxing writer of note. And it was reported by every website I can think of including this one. But hey if you dont know you dont know. Dan Rafeal of ESPN even reported it. Personally I dont think either fighters scared. You dont get to be p4p being scared. I can make an arguement for both sides.
I see you chose to spell check your post this time around.
fock grammar that that chinny piece of sh1t in your avy
Once again it took me several minutes to disect your post. Just becuase a guy gets knocked out, doesnt mean i will desert them as a fan. Garcia caught him with a big shot, however Khan has provided lots of entertaining fights. I admire the guys courage even if he has a glass chin.
