    Roy jones jr said it best, too bad Pacman is past his prime we need another goofy action fighter to carry the throne because Floyd killed boxing and than road Pacs coattails when he came out of retirement.

    The truth.

        Some people say boxing is a "dying" sport, but like Jim Lampley says it's just been declining in the US. It seems to me that just about every casual sports fan on the planet knows who Manny Pacquiao is!

        I remember when some people called De La Hoya vs. Mayweather "the fight to save boxing", but I felt that was ridiculous, since I could hardly stay awake watching it...

        But everybody who saw Manny Pacquiao fight Oscar was impressed! It left an impression in their minds, something like "this is someone I want to watch again". And Manny's brutal KO of the four-year Ring champion at light welterweight, Ricky Hatton, must have left people with a similar feeling about Pacquiao as they had about Mike Tyson in the late 80s. People who are not serious boxing fans, in the same sense as we on boxingscene are, they ARE EXCITED about this guy and want to know when Manny's next fight is!
        Your right. Pacquiao throws multiple punches, engages and takes risk. This brings the casual fan in. Having guys throwing one or two punches at a time, not taking risk or not engaging turns people off and it only hurts the sport.

              Wow. Roy really put it in perspective. Respect. PAC has done so much for the boxing community.

                Come on guys, let it go. WHether you agree with how he did it or not, floyd has shown the ability to connect with the casual fan more than any other current fighter. He has also been the standard since Roy Jones got beat.

                Why this angers certain posters so much on NSB makes no sense.

                Is it just because "your guy" hasn't done this?

                  Haha. Stop being delusional. Floyd connects with the fans by making headlines of a negative nature most of the time. His persona of flashing money even had those US military service people cutting off his stream, and then he calls them back. That's not admiration.
                  What's sad is in the future, Floyd will be remembered for his skills but also be questioned about who he didn't fight.(Manny is not the only one), his early retirements, etc. I think Floyd and his fans know this, which is why they constantly try to bring Manny down to "their level". But its impossible considering the general public loves Manny.

                    so now a lost stream is cut off. Geez my man.

                    You have no idea why people like floyd. What you know is floyd is popular, you don't like that, and you have to find a way to explain it without acknowledging something positive. My guess is you have seen the espn poll where fans have floyd as a top 5 ATG. You see the p4p lists that unainmously hav floyd at the top.

                    Bring Manny down to floyd's level. haha. Manny is trying to get to floyd's level.

                    Look at your post. I said nothing derogatory or negative about Manny. Yet you respond with such anger simply because I said floyd connect more with casual fans. Ridiculous.

                    If floyd gets questioned about not fighting manny, manny will get the same questions. Thats what any unbiased, reasonable adult would do.

                    It shouldn't be an issue or a problem that floyd has fans and brings people to the sport.

                      The only way to truly know if Floyd connects with the fans and has Real fans is through defeat. Pacman has something Floyd doesn't, the majority of people who buy floyds fights just want to witness the moment live that he takes an L. Its why the loudest cheer Floyd ever had was when Mosley rocked him. Pacman has several losses and been knocked out but his fans are not just fiipinos majority of the ones buying his ppv are white, mexicans, and blacks, remember Floyd said it he said how do a guy from the philippines come to America and get more love than me? Im American.

                      What do you think of Roy jones Opinion of Pacman?
