lmao....has there ever been a bunch of idiots like this....when did they start watching.....not like pac beat the #1 to get there...whats crazy is philipine are nice smart but *******s are just the opposite...prolly cuz they act like that on the internet cuz they dont get chance in real life...

Most *******s aren't Pinoys. They are Floyd haters and fear Floyd for making boxing history and being greater than anyone else. They would like another face on Floyd, not necessarily Pacquiao's but apart from the wide nose and darker skin tone, Pacquiao fits the bill. Steroids or not.

When 20 of 33 boxing writers voted for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and not Manny Pacquiao as No. 1 in the May Yahoo! Sports boxing rankings, it created quite a firestorm among Pacquiao supporters.

Cries of racism abounded. Many questioned the validity of the panel, though their logic is somewhat lost given that Pacquiao held the top spot even after Mayweather returned in 2009 from a brief retirement.

The same panel that Pacquiao supporters wanted to deride as racist, pro-American and incompetent voted Pacquiao, not Mayweather, No. 1 from October 2009 through April 2010.

Pacquiao fans complained in large numbers about the change at the top. Very few, though, actually made a point. Most – more than 95 percent, I’d estimate – resorted to ranting, name-calling and race-baiting.

Conveniently, nearly every one of those left off their last names, their e-mail addresses and/or their hometowns.

Lito Ferrer was one of the few who included his last name. However, Lito didn’t exactly cover himself with class in his response.

His entire response was; “How does it feel to be Mayweather Jr.’s [expletive]?”

He was classier than “nhissing,” however. This is the exact text of nhissing’s response, with expletives removed:

“why do you call yourself an “ELITE” you [expletive] moron, you are like your boss floyd mayweather jr. which you are in his payroll to wipe his [expletive], who call themselves great, you have one thing in common you are self proclaimers when nobody believes you are such … “

“Pzer” wasn’t profane but did pull out the race card: “Sir, Are your racist? We really think your against ASIAN! We don’t believe on that rankings. Before you despatch the number 1 you have to beat him first!”

On and on it went, with more cursing than in a Dana White news conference.

Mayweather and Pacquiao have lapped the field and are so much better than everyone else in contention now, it’s not even close. Either man would have been a worthy No. 1.

For the record, I’m neither anti-Asian nor anti-Pacquiao. Nor do I believe Mayweather can walk on water.

I do happen to believe that, right now, he’s ever so slightly better than Pacquiao. This will be debated endlessly, but let’s hope that the promoters do the right thing and get the fight made so Pacquiao and Mayweather and not a voting panel decides who’s best.

With that, let’s dive into this week’s boxing mailbag, where I answer your questions and comments.

Credibility gap

I have loved boxing since the Mike Tyson era and I would have to say that I am probably the least biased individual around. Basically, I call it the way I see it. I think you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to boxing, but I guess not everyone is perfect. We’re all human. Your rankings putting Mayweather over Pacquiao subtracts a lot when it come to your credibility. How can you rank him higher based on a fight involving a 38-year old-boxer. He soundly dominated Mosley, but Pacquiao also dominated his last opponent, Joshua Clottey. It’s bad enough for the sport of boxing that it is inhabited by egomaniac boxers, but now I find it more and more true that online sites are now picking sides when it comes to who they think is the man, either Pac or Floyd. When this happens you writers look as bad as the boxers themselves. To me, the unbiased ranking should be Pacman first and Floyd second. The only way it should change is when they fight. If you keep on ranking Floyd first, he will lose all incentive to fight Pacquiao, because he will have considered the ranking as a defeat of the Pacman already and thus would not fight him.

OK, Mr. Objective, I appreciate your opinion. Ranking boxers is a very inexact science, but I think Mayweather is getting credit for beating a much more highly regarded challenger the last time out. Mosley was ranked No. 3 by Yahoo! Sports and in that vicinity by most everyone else prior to the fight with Mayweather. I had few, if any, fans writing that Mosley was old prior to the fight. It was only after the fight, when Mayweather made Mosley look bad, that people started bringing up his age. I agree with you, though, that they need to fight.

Yahoo and any other website can post whatever they please! What really matters is who the people consider the best P4P or ATG...so it makes no difference.
