Take his whole boxing career into perspective.
Personally I can't find anything wrong with him as a boxer. He never makes mistakes in the ring, he has the best chin in boxing as far as I'm concern.
Outside of the ring, his humanitarian efforts should make anyone proud so I can't understand why anyone would dislike him
Please explain if you do?
How are you able to make a thread and expect people to take you seriously with that red bar? gtfoh
Eat 5h!t n!99@..
I've been here since 2004, I've earned the right to post here and I don't give a fcuk about no damn red bar. That and points don't move my needle, boxing and the pure sweet science does.
Trying to act like you're high and mighty, you ain't about that life

His defense and intelligence. How can a boxer on his level stumble into a punch and get KTFO in the last seconds of round he just dominated. I don't see how Marquez could have survived the next round if the fight went on. That's something a part time boxer getting a last minute fight on ESPN would do...
Well seeing as Manny is a fighter that really does what he is told and who to fight so on and so forth I really don't have that much of a problem with him. Just some of his idiot fans makes you want to hate the guy. I think he is just too gullible when it comes to the people around him. I think Freddy is a true friend of his but we can pretty much come to the conclusion that a lot of people around him are stealing from him and it seems like he is letting it slide. Also, he should broken away from Arum a long time ago. He would have had so much more money with the name he has. We could be seeing him right now fight guys at GB if he had done this.
I am a fan, but I can't stand that he's only a part-time boxer. Also, he should have done like Floyd and Oscar and left Top Rank once he became a superstar.
No question....He has such a good and pure heart and to think someone like Arum is taking complete advantage of his naivety.

Pacquiao is cool with me. I just don't understand how he doesn't realize that he's being financially raped by Bob Arum and his flunkies...even after being in so much trouble with the IRS. He seems to be extremely gullible and oblivious to what's going on around him....unable to think for himself.
It isn't a dislike for Pacquiao or even for his fans being supportive of him. What has always annoyed me is their incessant need to declare anything remotely associated with him as the absolute best while disparaging anything else. Freddie Roach had to be the best, Cleto Reyes gloves had to be the best, southpaw had to be the best style. It goes on for so long it is sickening.
When Pac went to Showtime for the Mosley fight then Showtime was the best and HBO sucks and will be irrelevant in a few years. Pac goes back to HBO and Floyd goes to Showtime so now HBO is the best and Showtime sucks and is broke. Pac sold over a million PPVs in four consecutive years and you'd of thought it was DiMaggio's hitting streak. Now all of a sudden PPVs don't matter and anyone who pays attention to it hates boxing.
Pacfans declare him the GOAT. People disagree and say Sugar Ray Robinson is the best. The Pacfans don't just consider it an honor that Pac is mentioned in the same sentence as SRR. What do they do? They go post on SRR youtube videos about how Robinson is a monkey who would get whooped by Pac.
They contradict themselves often in the same day, they feign ignorance and just make things up, they've been very racist in the past, and they show little interest in anything outside of Pac/May stuff. The pactards are either the most elaborate troll job in the history of the internet or just one of the most despicable groups one will ever encounter.

Maybe Queen Leia is a Mods alt or a homey of a mod, how come he keeps posting duplicate copycat threads usually 30 mins or an hour after someone makes one criticizing Floyd and he will just insert Pacquiao's name instead and never gets banned? he's been doing this for a while now lol
There nothing not to like about Pacquaio....nice guy, exciting style, really got into watching him around 01-02 when he kayoed Ledwaba and Julio at 122...when i first saw him fight, is natural aggressiveness, activity, stamina, and power i knew i was witnessing something special coming together....Has been one of my top 5 favorite fighters the past 20 years...1) Roy Jones 2) Mayweather 3) James Toney 4) Pacquiao 5) Mark Too Sharp Johnson
Its just his fans on message boards and how HBO was so biased with their commentary and his all-time placement that got a little annoying. He would get credit for shots he didnt even land, and Lampley "Bang, Bang, Bang!!" when he was missing and hitting all air.
Making it out like he was doing the impossible and overblowing some of his accomplishments. There were plenty of fighters in the past that started at low weights and defeated hall of famers and champions and the higher weights. some became champions some didnt but he is in elite company.Jimmy McClarnin started at flyweight and ended at weltweight.....He beat 13 world champions and like 9-10 hall of famers fighting between 112-147
Georges Carpentier started as a flyweight and fought all the way up to heavyweight beating world class guys winning the lt. heavy title
Sam Langforde beat world champions and hall of famers between lightweight-heavyweight
Duran started as a featherweight and won titles at 135,147,154,160
the list goes on, he is a legend for sure, but the media made him to be something he was not in my eyes.

I don't like the religious bs he lost a fan soon as he said he'd found god, anyone that believes in gods is a first rate fruitcake in my book.
His hardcore fans are unbearable too they are glory hunters.
I have never experienced poverty at his level so I can not understand his loyalty and extreme kindness to those surrounding him. But I can comment on his career decisions. There is just not enough time or man power to devote your life to being a boxer and politician. Those are two life long careers that take 110% of your focus 365 days a year. I could argue that the political arena is far more taxing and dangerous than the boxing ring. What kind of boxer would Manny be if he focused on honing his skills even further in between fights instead of fighting another battle in politics.
Well here the thing..
Manny the boxer is one of the greatest boxers I've ever seen and
Manny the politicians is one of the greatest political minds that I've seen.
Pretty much, he a perfect human being...literally a Godsend.

His fans..... Not all of them but you know the ones im talking about... And i dont like how hes allowed arum to put a battery in his back! I hate how he gets a pass for ruining the first mayweather bout. how he gets credit for a title in a weight class (his supposed 8th) he fought in once at a catchweight against marg who came off a suspension and fought a guy u cant even find on google.... that was utter nonsense!
love him as a fighter otherwise hes one of the greats!
