    A guy who watches Telefutura bouts on a Friday night is a real boxing fan.

      It's not if you don't LIKE Mayweather, it's if you don't ACKNOWLEDGE his skills.

      Every longtime boxing expert says Mayweather is a very good-to-great fighter. Every one.

      Meanwhile, every Filipino says that Mayweather is a garbage fighter.

      What does that tell you?

          Agree!!

          as long as you enjoy watching boxing ur a boxing fan.

          if you only watch when one or two particular fighters fight than you are more a fan of those particular fighters than you are a fan of boxing but most boxing fans probably started out that way anyways

            Every Filipino says that Mayweather is a garbage fighter? Lol? Way to generalize for every single Filipino. Learn to tell the difference between not liking someone for their attitude to not liking someone for their skills in boxing.

            You for example. You've shown to be a knowledgable guy on boxing, so I wouldn't really question you on your boxing knowledge. However, the approach you make when discussing boxing on these forums--making an account insulting Filipinos (e.g. raping Jose Rizal? come on now...), dissing Pacquiao and Filipinos in many of your posts, and being a ridiculous racist fanboy in general--leaves me lacking in respect for you, regardless of your good boxing knowledge. It's one thing to dislike a boxer and his fans, but it's a completely different story when you attack an entire country just because of boxing..?

            P.S. You don't need to be a "longtime boxing expert" to see that Mayweather got excellent boxing skills. It's called common sense.

            Also, it'd be unfair for other Dominicans (you're Dominican, right? according to other people here) if I judged other Dominicans by the attitude you display--being a racist troll.

              That "100% God" simply means Pac relies 100% on God for power and not on steroids, and not "manny IS 100% God" which you most likely might be thinking.
              So your either psychic or his Alt if you know that for sure.
              Most normal people would have said the proper way would be, 100% God-made.
              It also does not help the *******s when they are known for calling this man a god regularly.

                anyone that cares more about what a boxer makes than seeing good fights isn't a true boxing fan.

                  when you walk into a sports bar that has over 20 TVs and you immediately catch the small TV in the corner showing an old ass fight...and from 100ft away, you can tell Greg Haugen is one of the fighters

                    To be honest, it's so subjective of a term it really has very little credibility. I don't care if you are a walking encyclopedia on the sport or have simply "kind of heard" of Manny Pacquiao and are interested in watching his next fight, I respect all fans of this great sport, no matter what their level of interest is.

                    And let's face it, we need them all.

                      When they announce the judges and immediately you know if you are going to agree with the way they see the fight or not~
