    Default Is there ANYBODY here that likes both Pac AND Floyd?

    Seems so predictable to me. If you like Pac... you hate and dis Floyd. If you're a Floyd fan... you got no use for Pac. Is there anyone out there that is willing to objectively give each fighter their due? Really... it gets old to hear the same hashed over arguments from the fanatics on both sides. Can't they both be good and worthy? I admire both as fighters. A fight between them would've been something to see.... had it happened eons ago when it was supposed to. But years of waiting and hearing all of their bullshit has eroded most of the interest I ever had in the fight, and now it looks like it'll never happen.

    And while I admire both as fighters, I also feel the need to criticize different things in each. For instance, Floyd hasn't been busy enough. If he fought as much as he talks... and carries on with ridiculous shit like fighting "Big Show" and Dancing with the Stars... he'd be better liked and have more fans. And he HAS had his share of cherry-picking, like when he fought Juan Manuel Marquez at a weight that was at least two divisions over what JMM should have any business fighting. But I'll give him credit for taking on Miguel Cotto, in a fight where obviously he'll be favored, but should still be a tough fight.

    With Pac, I have to criticize the fact that he could've honestly done more to make himself available to Floyd back when the controversy over the blood testing came up. Hey dude... just get yourself stuck with a needle and be done with it. Otherwise, it just looks suspicious. But I do give him credit for keeping busy and taking on many of the big names. DLH, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito... quite an impressive list.

    But anyway... I shouldn't throw stones when I live in a glass house. After all... I've got NOTHING good to say about the likes of Margarito.

    I have a ton of respect for both guys. Outside of the ring Pacquiao seems like the nicer, more genuine person, but no one is a saint.

    Two saddo'ers I know are pretty objective.
    But I bet the thread ends up being shorter rather than longer.

    Love or hate, you cant deny the skill and excitement they have both bought to the sport in different ways.

    There also destroying the sport by avoiding each other. What other sport out there has two top players or teams that dont play/fight each other. I cant think of any bar boxing.

    Yeah I like them both. Love to hate Floyd's out of the ring antics, but feel very happy to have witnessed most of both of their careers.

    I can not understand how anyone can respect Floyd, never mind like the man.

    Disregarding him going to jail thrice, 1,2,3 times for beating women.
    His posing and smack talk outside of the ring.

    Just judging him as a boxer.

    He has dodged a lot of fights, his unbeaten record means nothing to me.

    Floyd was offered 50million usd, to fight Pac, he declined, his "record" means nothing to me.

    Yes he can box, but as a boxer is a joke, his unbeaten record is a joke and as a person I have zero respect for the thug.


    The only thing he is good at is running his mouth and running away from competitive fights.

    How can you not like Pac, very genuine person and one of the best boxers P4P for a number of years.
    Although his best years are behind him.

    Oddly enough I am beginning to respect Floyd more and liking Pac Man less.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    They are destroying what could be a big part of this era and a huge part of one of their own legacies but the sport is way bigger than both of them.

    It could be both of their problems one day dieing without knowing.

    Nothing less than I expect from Floyd Fair-Weather

    Got to protect that unbeaten record

    As I stated he got offer 50million usd with a guarantee of 50% of profits.

    Floyd ducking fights is nothing new.

    I have no hate I am simply stating the facts.

    I like both guys in the ring but I couldn't care less about what they do in their personal life's.

    Both are amazing fighters and boxing will be a duller place without them... but as people outside of the ring I can not stand floyd he comes across as a classless scumbag and would love to seem him get sparked in a round by Cotto

    oh and great Rain Sun analogy @Andre

    I'm a fan of both fighters. When people ask me who my favorite fighters are in real life, they think I'm crazy when I name both.
