How can a fan of boxing hate on Pacquiao

[fcastro1]

People don't hate on Pacquiao around here so much as they hate on *******s. Whenever you get a fighter that has a huge minority following, such as Pacquiao, esp. ones that do not follow the sport at all, but because they're Filipino and watch Pacquiao they believe that they're experts and historians, you're going to have realboxing fans that get annoyed. People don't hate the Pac man - they hate the *******. I like Manny Pacquiao but coming on here and reading all the nonsense it makes you want to point out all his faults to his cult. He's entertaining, but he isn't what *******s make him out to be - not even close.

where you from? detroit michigan. The same state where Floyd is from you are a ***** hypocrite. cry me a river. Only a dumbass hates a fighter because of his fans.

How is fighting Hatton at 140 for his lineal championship cherrypicking?
How is fighting a top 5, bonafide welter in Cotto as your first real welterweight fight cherry picking?
How is fighting the guy, Clottey, who arguably beat the last guy you fought cherrypicking?
How is fighting the guy, Margarito, who BEAT the **** out of the last two guys you fought cherrypicking?

Hatton, not cherrypicked. What more can you ask for? Lineal 140 champ, enough said.

Cotto, He could have fought Shane Mosley, the #1 Lineal champion. Instead he picked Cotto. Cotto is still a good win but he picked him instead of Shane.

Clottey, He arugbally won, fact is he lost. In fairness there wasnt much out there available at the time, and its a good fight for a keep busy fight, but its not really a great win beating Clottey, little to no one gave him a chance.

Margarito, there are and were better options for Manny to fight at 154, and Margarito has done nothing at 154 to deserve a shot at Manny, Manny is picking Margarito. He beat Cotto 2 years ago, he has been brutally stopped and didnt look as impressive as recent years against Garcia since then, and he fought Clottey years ago also.

Manny doesn't cherry pick often, and his resume is very impressive. But the fact is to say he NEVER cherry picks is a lie. Straight up.

2.DLH was his 1st welterweight fight!!

Correct

3.If Pacman can fight Clottey at 147,why not Cotto??

I swear I thought Cotto came first before Clottey.

5.Who did I fight??But yes Margarito at a catchweight for a vacant title is cherrypicking!!What's up now??

Margarito and cherry picking do not go together for anybody........specially for a career featherweight.

Wow,I thought this was over,oh well...
1st,never said anything about 140,or under!!
2.DLH was his 1st welterweight fight!!
3.If Pacman can fight Clottey at 147,why not Cotto??
4.Never said anything about the Clottey fight,only fight above 140,not at a catchweight!!
5.Who did I fight??But yes Margarito at a catchweight for a vacant title is cherrypicking!!What's up now??

The DLH fight doesn't count, I don't think anyone could give Pac any credit for that fight even though he was a major underdog coming in to the fight.

Cotto, Clottey and Margarito are legit welters, two of whom are known to be big welters. He fought/fighting them between 145-151, what more do you want from a career featherweight (126).

My guess is that most people are hung-up with the business, politics and drama of boxing.

Sure did,it still was a catchweight!!

Ha,with all the talent at 154 right now,seriously??I don't buy the"well the other fighters don't sell" crap either,because he sold Clottey by himself,true story!!

[Pacquiao'd]

The guy has fought everyone with no regards... Like ts said how can u not like this fckin guy???

What,Pacman deserves all the credit in the world for fighting Oscar,he skipped 2 weight classes for that fight when conventional wisdom was he gets destroyed!!

Cotto was a legit welterweight,but Pacman still asked for a catchweight to fight him,this is a fact,whether U like it or not!!If he faced Clottey at 147,he could have faced Cotto at the same!!

Yes Margarito was a big welterweight,who was caught red handed trying to cheat against Mosley,has no credibility at 154 & shouldn't be in a title catchweight fight!!

Pac is a real great fighter, he doesnt claim to be "shot" or unprimed after a great fighter, he only improves and finds a bigger bout

He's saying if Manny can fight Clottey at 147 why not fight Cotto at 147 as appose to 145. I happen to agree, not because it made a difference, i dont believe it made a difference. But why do it and give people an excuse after the fight? Especially if your going to fight Clottey at full 147 in your next fight. Just didn't and still doesnt make sense to me.

So people are gonna claim manny is on steroids because he jumped from 135 to 147 so quickly

but when he takes his time and allows his body to grow, he's fighting scared?

ffs *****s, give the guy a break. You just won't give him any credit whatsoever.
