Why so many Pac haters? It seems that every thread there's always a hater?

[texasgamer]

Just curious. I know there are a lot of Pacnuthuggers, but is he that bad of a boxer for people to hate him?

So people shouldn't criticize him? So people that see a blatant robbery shouldn't complain about it?

Should we all kneel and worship him like those loafers do in his house? Not a chance. If I see injustice I will talk about it and what I saw think weekend was really awful. It wasn't Manny's fault directly, but when you have peculiar people talking about foot stomping and offering bizarre assessments of how the fight was not a robbery then that is bound to provoke a reaction too.

If Manny had admitted he lost there wouldn't be much to be railing against and the same if his fans would just accept it too without going off into fantasy land.

I did not say we should not criticize him. I thought he did shitty on his fight against JMM, and he should carefully think about his skills if he were to fight PBF. But to hate him because there so many fans out there who worship him blindly, then that is not really fair. He has a lot of flaws and that makes him human, if anyone should hate anyone it should be Bob Arum or the Judges.

I agree, but the way I see it, fans' opinion is a two way street. You may see it differently, and may argue for all eternity, but some will always think the other way around. Actually, we are divided here, as I myself is in fact divided. I see marquez winning, pac lost his fire in the ring. Judges saw pac as the winner, I can live with that, but still in my mind, pac lost this time around. What ever the reason is simply worthless now since the fight has been concluded. The only way to deal with this is to have both guys to fight again and I dont think another decision will settle this rivalry once and for all. We all needed a KO the next time.

For discussion's sake, since issues of foot stomping (whatever it is), bribery, robbery, cheating is brought up, fans like you and me will have opinions to share. And I like when I do that.

For the case of haters, thats a roughly strong word to describe other fans. I may classify them into two--Critics and Haters. Its very hard to tell who's the hater and who's a critic. Many haters can be critics, and you can always feel the hate whenever they criticize. Many critics can become haters, when all avenues of argument fails, they will always resort to hateful alternatives.

Im a fan of JMM but i got nothing against Manny Pacquiao, its just i think my fighter has been unfairly treated in scoring just because Manny Pacquiao is the bigger fighter.

It's just a sign he's so popular and so brilliant. All the best fighters get it.

Me too

[Gandalf]

Justin Bieber? Justin bloody Bieber? Talented? I disagree and I hate him too.

The only thing him and Pacquiao have in common are the daft haircuts and actually the quality of the singing is equally dire too.

Horrid teenage hormonal muck.

[Gandalf]

I respect Manny for all he has done in the ring and grudgingly so at times because of the way the opponents have all too frequently been my favourites, but have always given credit in the immediate aftermath of a fight. When he destroyed Hatton I was the first on here saying 'well done' and likewise with the Cotto and Margarito wins. I criticized aspects prior to the fights such as Margarito being a crook and Cotto being at a CW and I was critical here too as I believe the Marquez fight should have been at 140, but after the fight have always said fair play to the victor.

I would just like the die hard Pac fans to admit that he lost and for them to have the saem balls. It doesn't mean selling your soul to admit that you are wrong sometimes and some of these people are too stubborn and are coming up with daft excuses. That is what irritates me. Not only the awful nature of the judging, but the pigheadedness of fanboys.

They have mocked Marquez for years and tarnished his name and even when Marquez does it again they have to evade and hide from the obvious way in which Manny was shown up. It is cowardice pure and simple.

I would have respected Manny so much more if he gave Marquez his dues and said 'fair enough he got me'. He couldn't do it and neither can some of these diehards. It's a shame.

Even Floyd. Fact.

[Fenster]

Even Floyd. Any popular/good fighter has an army of silly haters. That's just the way it goes.

The bigger and more succesful you are the more muppets you have on your case. Simple as.

Fenster is right. No one hated on Bute or Martinez up until a few fights ago. Now there are tons of haters. You know who that paradigm doesn't work for though? Carl Froch. I don't think Carl Froch has many haters. Is that correct?

Must be why no one hates on Kell Brook

From what i've been able to tell, most of the serious hate for Pacquiao comes from Marquez/Mexican and Mayweather Jr. fans. Some of them take the hatred to childish extremes, like throwing glasses and bottles in the ring aimed at Pacquiao last Saturday. WTF does any of this have to do with boxing? That's just low-life, trashy, criminal behavior, and that mentality, has no place in a civil society.
