Honest assessment what don't you like about Pacquiao?

[essasin]

I have never experienced poverty at his level so I can not understand his loyalty and extreme kindness to those surrounding him. But I can comment on his career decisions. There is just not enough time or man power to devote your life to being a boxer and politician. Those are two life long careers that take 110% of your focus 365 days a year. I could argue that the political arena is far more taxing and dangerous than the boxing ring. What kind of boxer would Manny be if he focused on honing his skills even further in between fights instead of fighting another battle in politics.

Well here the thing..


Manny the boxer is one of the greatest boxers I've ever seen and

Manny the politicians is one of the greatest political minds that I've seen.


Pretty much, he a perfect human being...literally a Godsend.

I don't like the religious bs he lost a fan soon as he said he'd found god, anyone that believes in gods is a first rate fruitcake in my book.

His hardcore fans are unbearable too they are glory hunters.

[Augustane]

Why not add the poll option to say that we don't find anything wrong with him?

Pacquiao is cool with me. I just don't understand how he doesn't realize that he's being financially ****d by Bob Arum and his flunkies...even after being in so much trouble with the IRS. He seems to be extremely gullible and oblivious to what's going on around him....unable to think for himself.

There nothing not to like about Pacquaio....nice guy, exciting style, really got into watching him around 01-02 when he kayoed Ledwaba and Julio at 122...when i first saw him fight, is natural aggressiveness, activity, stamina, and power i knew i was witnessing something special coming together....Has been one of my top 5 favorite fighters the past 20 years...1) Roy Jones 2) Mayweather 3) James Toney 4) Pacquiao 5) Mark Too Sharp Johnson


Its just his fans on message boards and how HBO was so biased with their commentary and his all-time placement that got a little annoying. He would get credit for shots he didnt even land, and Lampley "****, ****, ****!!" when he was missing and hitting all air.


Making it out like he was doing the impossible and overblowing some of his accomplishments. There were plenty of fighters in the past that started at low weights and defeated hall of famers and champions and the higher weights. some became champions some didnt but he is in elite company.Jimmy McClarnin started at flyweight and ended at weltweight.....He beat 13 world champions and like 9-10 hall of famers fighting between 112-147

Georges Carpentier started as a flyweight and fought all the way up to heavyweight beating world class guys winning the lt. heavy title

Sam Langforde beat world champions and hall of famers between lightweight-heavyweight

Duran started as a featherweight and won titles at 135,147,154,160

the list goes on, he is a legend for sure, but the media made him to be something he was not in my eyes.

Take his whole boxing career into perspective.

Personally I can't find anything wrong with him as a boxer. He never makes mistakes in the ring, he has the best chin in boxing as far as I'm concern.

Outside of the ring, his humanitarian efforts should make anyone proud so I can't understand why anyone would dislike him

Please explain if you do?

Maybe Queen Leia is a Mods alt or a homey of a mod, how come he keeps posting duplicate copycat threads usually 30 mins or an hour after someone makes one criticizing Floyd and he will just insert Pacquiao's name instead and never gets banned? he's been doing this for a while now lol

[DeadLikeMe]

It isn't a dislike for Pacquiao or even for his fans being supportive of him. What has always annoyed me is their incessant need to declare anything remotely associated with him as the absolute best while disparaging anything else. Freddie Roach had to be the best, Cleto Reyes gloves had to be the best, southpaw had to be the best style. It goes on for so long it is sickening.

When Pac went to Showtime for the Mosley fight then Showtime was the best and HBO sucks and will be irrelevant in a few years. Pac goes back to HBO and Floyd goes to Showtime so now HBO is the best and Showtime sucks and is broke. Pac sold over a million PPVs in four consecutive years and you'd of thought it was DiMaggio's hitting streak. Now all of a sudden PPVs don't matter and anyone who pays attention to it hates boxing.

Pacfans declare him the GOAT. People disagree and say Sugar Ray Robinson is the best. The Pacfans don't just consider it an honor that Pac is mentioned in the same sentence as SRR. What do they do? They go post on SRR youtube videos about how Robinson is a monkey who would get whooped by Pac.

They contradict themselves often in the same day, they feign ignorance and just make things up, they've been very racist in the past, and they show little interest in anything outside of Pac/May stuff. The pactards are either the most elaborate troll job in the history of the internet or just one of the most de****able groups one will ever encounter.

[J The UnBiased]

That he never fought Humberto Soto (especially after he knocked out Pac's brother right in front of him)

I didn't like the the catchweights for the Cotto and Margarito fights

The fact that he fought the weakest champ at 135

I never liked his haircuts either

I think that's my issue with him as well. Especially in his early years when had that fuckin bitch ass chilly bowl, I wanted to slap the shit out of em on fight night.
