Pacquiao: Hate or Racism?

[2501]

There is no excuse for him NOT fighting Cotto at 147.

When he fought Oscar at 147.

JMM knew when he mentioned Floyds name that Floyd was a 147 Pounder the last 5 years.

TWO different circumstances.

Haha, NONE son. NONE. There are NO excuses for this double standard ****.

Fact is, Floyd's last 2 opponents have been at a bigger disadvantage than Pacquiao's.

hate but it comes mostly from mayweather fans if you've noticed. the unbiased, fans of the sport seem to recognize, respect and regard him as one of the best. they acknowledge his accomplishments and how good he is. whether they think he is an atg or not, the overall consensus is he is a special fighter.

funniest post ever.

[M.I Truth ?]

Being at the very top of the Sport both Floyd and Manny are now subject to both fair and unfair hate. While there are some who like to make certain things about race, the majoity is really jst regular old hate. To answer the the TS question on why Manny is seen in a negative light: You see Manny's brak out win over Oscar was talked about by hardcore fans more so for Oscar being weight drained than anything else. Mind you that was all Oscar's fault. He asked for the weight and he wanted this fight. When the Cotto was going to happen and the weight requested was even below 145lbs. Cotto's people said the lowest he could make was 145lbs. Shane Molsey tried to still the fight and was told he would also have to fight somewhere south of 145lbs if that were to happen. The problem people have with all this is that the weight thing didn't seem to be to put the fighters on a level playing field. Its seemed as if it was being done to gain an advantage. Anyone who saw Pac against Oscar knows that Pac still had speed and pop at 147lbs before hand. So why force the current champion at the weight to weigh in under the limit? Cotto was atually bullied into putting his belt on the line. He wanted to be stripped at one point. The purpose of a catch weight should be a middle ground where fighters of different weight classes can meet and still preform to the best of their ability. Its should not be a means to gain an advantage. Let me be clear though, I am against any title being on the line in a catch weight fight. Its been wrong in the past and its wrong now.

Guts,

That is the UNIVERSAL reputation for pacquiao fans.

Ask peyk-peyk, talisayen, pachugger, el pacman pacman777, samurai, etc to join a random boxing discussion which is NOT about Pac... see how that goes.

J-Ro knows the sport and i give him credit for that.

Jro knows his stuff. He can talk Robinson-Burley all they way up to upcoming boxing prospects.

The peyk-peyks, talisayen, pachugger, pacman777, makavelli, Toyi, Lady Fan, ThunderWolf and Ako Pa Ha and others give posters like jrosales a bad name.

A lot of people on here are making out to seem as Pac whole career now is going to be catch-weight fights. Just because he had one catch-weight fight. He had the same amount of catch-weight fights as Marquez, Chavez, Trinidad, WHitaker, Mayweather Jr, and Roy Jones.

Even if Pac has one more catch-weight fight he would have the same amount as Oscar, Pavlik, and Malignaggi.

Hopkins has more catch-weight fights than any other active fighter.

There are even more examples. But, why all of a sudden Pac has one catch-weight fight it became a sin? All of a sudden his whole career will be catch-weight fights. People act like he made this whole catch-weight fights up. When in fact it has been going on for years. But, why do people act this way when Pac does it? Is it racism? If you look at what is different from him and the other fighters who has done it is that he is Asian. The only Asian fighter out of the bunch. And, he gets criticized the most for doing it...

Is the conclusion racism? Or can anybody else explain to me on why he gets singled out?

Why does Mayweather get hate or fighting smaller fighters when he fought a WW champion(Hatton) and then Marquez(after a near 2 year layoff)?

People act like hes dfone that his whole career, when even 1 fight before he fought Oscar at 154.

So to answer your question- HATE.

JMM had a big disadvantage. Not hatton though.

Ive said this on burner's last show, people keep saying pac is catchweight king yet he only had one in his whole career.

Tnx for bringing this up jro!

[QUOTE=-Rabbit Punch-;7241492]I hate catchweights. I **** on Bhop all the time for it. I didn't like it when Pac did it. I didn't like it for Mayweather vs Marquez (esp when May came in 2 lbs over). I didn't like it for Diaz and Malignaggi. I think alot of people single him out because his catchweight fight was history making and people are just hating. I thought Cotto looked good at 145. All and all though I hate catchweights and I wish they'd get rid of them all together.[/QUOTE]

No ****, why not just get rid of the weightclasses and have fighters negotiate the weights?

[Xcusemymood]

All I hear is this is a bogus claim. But, nobody has told me what is different than what Pac has done with one catch-weight fight than what other ATG fighters have done. Why does he get criticized the most for it?

Because he is the number 1 fighter right now and gets more press than anyone?

Also a major contribution is because most feel like Oscar was totally weight drained for their fight. Is that Pacs fault? NO, but thats still how people feel, so when he fought Cotto at a catchweight people complained...

Really do people hate Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan to?

On Bruce Lees' case maybe, he was killed as well as hi son, remember?
