Good Nigel Collins Article on Boxing & What Losers Pac and Floyd groupies are

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/10858859/polarization-boxing Mayweather's need to ridicule his rivals notwithstanding, it has been his and Pacquiao's fans who have been doing most of the dirty work, slugging it out, mainly on social media, in a name-calling marathon that seems to have lasted longer than the Peloponnesian War. Boxing fans have always been a passionate lot, and perhaps the virulent animosity and raw hatred that have been exposed by social media have always been a part of the sport. But I'm not so sure. When Frazier and Ali represented opposing factions, both sides readily admitted that their man was going against a formidable foe. That is not so today. To Mayweather fans, Pacquiao is a washed-up nobody whose success is based entirely on the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and if Floyd ever actually fought Manny it would be a one-sided walkover. Conversely, Pacquiao supporters accuse Mayweather of being a serial ducker whose record is built upon carefully selected opponents, a fraud that would be exposed if he ever dared to fight their hero. The notion that both are great fighters is apparently a foreign concept, lost in the fog of zealotry that has enveloped so many of their followers.
