MY theory on PBF. Agree or Disagree?

[one-Punch]

floyd = boring as ****
manny = entertaining as ****

it's really simple

At least some people have realized this.

Manny is Humble.
Floyd is ****y.
Manny entertains the boxing fans.
Floyd's style will sometimes make you sleep. (ex. Biggest fight of 2007 DLH vs Floyd)

Have to say I completely disagree there fella. I honestly dont think this whole Mayweather vs Pacquaio split of opinion has anything to do with race whatsoever.

Basically, Boxing is the same as any other sport - when you are at the top, you are there to be knocked back down. Mayweather is the best out there, and has been for some time. He is undefeated and has disposed of pretty much every opponent with relative ease (even though he hasnt always excited in this fights).

Because of Mayweather's dominance, people desperately want to see him beaten. As a result, the media and Boxing fans in general are constantly thinking up new opponents who could beat him, Pacquiao and Mosley are the latest 2. We have seen the likes of De La Hoya and Hatton built and lined up to take Mayweather down, both failed. As soon as Mayweather won these fights, the critics were already lining up his next opponent.

I just think that this whole Mayweather-Pacquaio divide is simply because of Floyd's dominance, and the public's desire to see "the king dethroned", they want to see the best fighter out there toppled because he has remained undefeated for so long. I dont think the race card needs to be played here, it has nothing to do with that in my opinion.

When you are at the top, in any walk of life, you are there to be shot at. Thats all this situation is. Well, the fact that Mayweather likes to throw his money in our faces every 5 minutes doesnt help matters either

nicely put, respect to that!

Depends on what style people prefer. I find Mayweather more entertaining to watch and there are others. All a matter of opinion.

lol....and what style do you think most boxing fans prefer, lets say boxing experts?.....lol

Piss off.

Those are Roaches words not mine.

Be mad at him.

If he backs up what he says, then people would like him. Saying that he's the greatest and not proving it doesn't appeal to anyone.

I agree, good post.

[J.Dempsey]

Have you actually MET Mayweather????People that have don't say he's a prick at all..

He's the easiest celebrity to approach...Try walking-up to Oscar..LOL

one of my friends met him n said he's one of the nicest guys he's met, very humble...I cudnt believe it, I guess he is playing everyone, he knows how to make money

[mathed]

I think the reason ppl hate on mayweather n are loving pac right now are as follows:
when boxing was mainly a White man sport then a great came along Of ethnic origin to the sport (joe louis, Ali) they were really good and got alot of attention and all good
now boxing has been dominated by African Americans (Tyson, lewis, rjj, pbf, list goes on etc etc) it's nothing new for a black man to be great at boxing, in comes pacquiao, who is of ethnic origin to the sport n he gets the exposure like louis, Ali etc...
In other words ppl are hating on pbf because it's nothing new for an African American to do great in boxing it is new for a filippino/asian

I can only compare this to hip hop, great black rappers all round, a great white rapper called Eminem comes along and BAM! It opens a whole new audience to rap..

Agree or Disagree?

I disagree personally. My thing is that Floyd has tremendous skills but his attitude and personality are bunk while Pac's is humble and professional. Floyd has challenges from the perceived top guys in his division but makes excuses not to fight them and his money demands are ridiculous. If he were more professional less people would watch him conceivably but more people would like him definitely.

Why do people have to make it about Race.. this is ****** a ****..

Simple.. Floyd doesnt fight TOP fighters at his own weight class..

Manny fights all comers and isnt afraid to actually FIGHT and not run around all day..

Floyd use to be a beast below 140.. now he wont even trade blow for blow..
