It definitely seems like you get all ****tional and angry about Floyd. In poarticular. As if he wouldn't pay your tuition at Dade County Community College. Or something.
The reality is that the uber-passionate Floydlings and the *******s are equally guilty. And the Tiny Pinoys add an additional element of nationalistic pride that clouds their judgment.
I get the feeling that BOTH groups are relatively new to the game. As in religion, nobody is more passionate or more dangeroius than a recent convert.
What IS disappointing is to see more, um, "seasoned" fans who claim objectivity saying things like "Pacquiao beat XXXX better than Floyd". As if 1) there is a "better", and 2) it would be relevant if there were.
Let's elevate the level of discourse.
Mangler, I'm looking in YOUR direction.
Okay I would love to have this STAMPED ON MOST OF THE MOTHER****ERS on this forums faces. Excellent post. And completely 100 percent correct.
Somehow Manny's success has created a new rift between Floyd haters and Floyd lovers.
HUH?
I'm sorry but did Floyd fight on Saturday? NO. Manny did. Can we talk about him for a moment?
A few thoughts:
For Mayweather groupies:
-This fight is the most talked about since Hatton vs. Mayweather BUT it seems more mainstream. For some reason it was talked about during NBA games, on random radio stations, on ESPN and there was an on the street buzz I have not heard for a while. Tons of casual sports fans and WOMEN that I know saw it. You have to credit Manny for this in the US. He has surpassed Mayweathers popularity in terms of mainstream recognition right now or is at least very equal to it. DEAL WITH IT. Give pac his props
For the Mayweather haters:
-Why are you comparing who is more exciting? Is this SOMETHING NEW? Manny has always been more of an action fighter than Floyd. It's unfortunate that both sides are obsessed with him but are you guys really using triangle theories to predict a possible Floyd vs. Pac showdown? I hope not. How soon will a lot of you say Pac was too tiny if Floyd beats him? Don't answer this one, we all know the truth.
The irrationality on both sides is equal parts embarrassing, sad and amusing. Stop it.
Try to think about matchups not whoever you love or hate. Peace and hugs.
Your an avid Whitaker fan, that's why I don't bother...Pernell isn't regarded as a legend in the sport. He's regarded as a great fighter. Anyone's resume can be picked apart.
1. I'm not an avid Whitaker fan.
2. The rest of your post is irrelevant - I repeat:
Last night you said Whitaker didn't have a great resume.
