Mayweather/Pacquiao: When The Bad Guy Is Good

[texasboi15]

On the surface, what's not to like about Manny Pacquiao? He's perhaps the best fighter in the world. He's a humble, respectful man of faith and congressman doing what he can to better his native country of the Philippines. He sings, acts and has a smile that lights up the room.

But behind the smile and soft spoken mannerism, does a darkside exists?

Many would categorize Floyd Mayweather as the exact opposite of Pacquiao. Floyd also stakes claim to the title of best in the world. He's percieved as an undefeated, arrogant, disrespectful fighter that never passes up the chance to brag on his money.

But what if behind the ego and ****y attitude, an honest and generous heart of gold exists?

Mayweather is a spokesperson, rallying against the use of PEDs in not just boxing but all sports. His campaign to "clean up" boxing should be admired and applauded yet because of his nature, mayweather doesn't recieve the accolade and praise he deserves.

We all know Mayweather's real agenda is to put pressure on Pacquiao but even so, is it not an honorable act to try and right a wrongdoing?

I love Pacquiao. I feel sorry for him because he's now engulfed in all kind of PED accusations. It's a situation where he's forced to play by Floyd's rules or the dark cloud of PED scandal will forever hang over his head.

But good guy or not, what's right is right. Cheating is wrong and unsportsman-like. And although it has never been proven that Pacquiao used PEDs, and i hope it never does, we have to consider the possibility that Manny, arguably the nicest guy in boxing, is the bad guy and mayweather, dare i say, is the good.

In my opinion both are bad guys.The difference is Floyd doesn't hide it & everyone knows he's bad.Pacman is the antichrist of boxing.The majority of fight fans think he's gods gift to boxing.When in reality he cherrypicks even more than Floyd does.

I think i will have to agree with u on this, fans have always hated cheaters we`ve seen our beloved athletes from all kinds of sports become the most hated coz of drug use, once su****ion that Bonds was using peds was out there, they crucified the guy without any proof whatsoever jus like manny yet manny is overly protected and supported, regardless of the agenda, seeking clean, fair play should always be supported, i can only imagine how much praise the congressman would be getting had he been the one advocating "fight against ped use" and gayweather was the one trying to run as far away from it as possible...wouldn`t that be something???

mayweather is dark skinned there is no way hes a good person on the inside... in reality everyone has a dark side some have money and some are broke but we all have one

Exactly, the cherry picking is going on all the time with all of these mainstream fighters. We desperately need a third party to keep this **** in check. a real sanctioning body that is enforced.

Mayweather consistently takes on the perceived most dangerous opponent, but he never gets credit. After Pac fights Marquez three years too late, it will have been two full years since his last legit fight. I have Pac ranked #4 pound-for-pound on my new list.

The title is very promising, but after reading your entire post it does not actually support much less elaborate its point.

Biggest load of crap I've read in a while.

I'm the original pacquiao fan, liked him since 97/98 before he was as big as he is now.
