Comments Thread For: For Fighter of The Decade, The BWAA Got it Right

I see the what the have in common pacboy. They are all the same worthless fan base of Floydiepoo.

Once again you’ve come into a debate late and let your feelings about Floyd blind you from the truth.

Pac Boy was going on about Ebonics and blacks living in the ****** when he got banned. We all saw the banned under his name. Some of us were reading the thread when the ban hit.

Of course he is Asian and a manny fan so you automatically believe him.

This is the same crap you pulled with Madison boxing in the other thread.

For someone who allegedly hates racism you defend some of the worst race baiting scum on the forum.

Floyd deserves it, end of story

So now the win isn’t legitimate. Is manny beating cotto and margs legitimate?

Catchweight fights aren't legit, don't matter who it is.

Not trying to intervene in some of your guys arguement, but having been a member here for a short time and I already noticed some of you bringing down one of the very few successful asian athletes in sports in general. It's F'd up with some of the baseless accusations of PED statements I see made towards him... even when he never failed a test.

The thing is Pac fans dont go on about how great the cotto win and lesser extent margarito win was, nearly as much as how much floyd fans go on about the Canelo win.
But the difference is Cotto and Margarito were much more experienced at the highest level. Nelo was very much unproven at the highest level and untested, he was quite an unknown quantity. That idea was pointed out enough at the time so isnt a new idea, you will find threads littered with it.
Floyd was going to retire very soon after, so there wasnt much need for a CW apart from selfish reasons. Pure self indulgence on floyds part. WHilst pac was going to fight another 10+ years. Floyds fans can never used context thats always been the problem, and only context when it benefits floyd.

If Floyd and JMM can be discredited and denigrated by Manny fans just because they beat him, You should be able to understand why other fans are doing the same thing. It isn't because Manny is Asian, ita because many of his diehard fans are petty, hero worshipping, *******s that can't give fighters that beat Manny any credit.

Of course you guys go on and on. You bring it up all the time then try to justify the CW.

Canelo wasn't untested, you guys just say that because you will find any way you can not to give Floyd credit.

Manny is still fighting because he needs money. Floyd fights when he wants because his paydays were almost triple Manny's. Stop making Manny's fighting a measure of his virtue, it's a measure of his inability to fund him and his wife's political campaigns. He also needs money for his kids, especially the one he had with the hooker.

Understandable. But it's supported with their reasons with so many circumstancial events relating to PEDs around Floyd. Marquez only has the fact that Heredia was in his team.

And I'm not somewhat talking from any fan perspective. The reality is one American athlete and his family bringing down one of the few successful asian athlete in the sport with no evidence. At the time around 2009, I couldn't believe the Mayweather's thought they own the sport of boxing by making all these demands towards a foreign boxer. Sadly enough today, the result of that is you got these generation of boxers doing the same thing in delaying fights like Crawford/Spence.

We can all point to circumstantial evidence.

I wouldn't say they were "bringing him down". That is a bit extreme. It has nothing to do with owning the sport. ODH made demands of Floyd, Leonard made demands of Hagler. The larger draw has always made demands in big fights, no different than Manny demanding cotto come in at 145. I don't see why all of sudden its an issue when Floyd does it.

I don't know how old you are but you should really check history. Floyd didn't invent any of this stuff and he will not be the last "cash cow" that uses their drawing power to control the fight and the event.

Well the fact Floyd brought in his own expensive Drug testing agency over NSAC and imposing it on Manny isnt like the demands what other fighters in the past has done. Floyd never imposed that kind of demand with previous fighters before that until his first fight with an Asian boxer. So I cant blame the asian fans of Pacquiao exploiting Floyd's hypocrisy on OSDT when he broke so many rules.
