That's a very good way of putting it. Despite what Pac fans might think, I don't hate Pacquiao, in fact I quite like the little guy. I jumped out of my chair when he KO'ed Hatton in such spectacular fashion. No matter what I say, Manny has had an incredible career and everyone knows it.Quote:

I pick Pacquiao to win. Not because i believe he is a better fighter but because he is someone that the sport can be proud of. After many decades have past we could still see interview of him, his fights, his training and not get annoyed of what he displayed if front of the camera.
Pactards are a different entity by itself. Don't equate the 2 as one and the same.
Pacquiao. Go Team Pactards!!! They are a phenom themselves. LOL
The Great Pacquiao
His humble in the sports and a true gentleman in boxing.
I just can't fathom why some people here would hate on Pacquiao and root for Mayweather because of the pactards. Like what jerome01 said you have to separate Pacquiao from his Pactard fans, that's just unreasonable in my opinion. You have to appreciate what Pac has done for the sport and just relish it while he is still around. Having an egotistic character in Mayweather doesn't do boxing any good to be honest. Boxers who never appreciate their fans and are only there for the money shouldn't even be idolized I believe. So guys think about it. No disrespect to the PBF fans, I'm sorry but I really hate PBF for a whole lot of reasons...Boxing will die if we have him as numero uno...
Mayweather, because i don't like how pacquiao is before the fights and his opponents and the ego and tactics and trash of aarum, i prefer ali's way to promote the fights, or tyson or haye, except because of any cowardness haye or tyson presented, the gentlemanness should be for after the fights. I root for mayweather but i for now think that pacquiao would win and he is good person with many people. But i don't consider boxing a gentlemen sport, maybe a strange entertaining art.
Hmm I'm actually quite surprised to see Pac winning this poll with just a few vote. With the recent event (well, since 2009), I wonder if it will be this close if we restarted it.
Do you still have the same opinion?Quote:

The fight itself is astronomical for our sport. If either guy wins its huge. Just think if Pac wins we have witnessed a modern day Henry Armstrong (Give or take a few things) If PBF wins no one can ever question his heart or call him pussy. That and he can fight Sergio alone makes me cry for joy...
Floyd because I just like him more as a boxer. He's just flat out better and more exciting to me..
want pac to win...but know floyd will pick him apart.
Definitely Pacquiao.
I haven't read through the entire thread but from this page alone I have seen some posters who WANTS Pac to win but THINKS/KNOWS that Floyd will win. I don't think there is anyone who WANTS Floyd to win but THINKS that Manny will win, but I could be wrong.
Pacquiao is rightly the underdog in this fight so it seems strange to me that the one favored to win will be requesting strict drug test from the underdog. It's like Michael Phelps requesting a drug test from the second best swimmer before they compete.
its not really like that at all... phelps isn't likely to sustain a serious injury or face death if his opponent is using steroids. also, phelps had a little drug scandal of his own. remember?Quote:

this has to be a joke right?Quote:

yes, injuries are a part of the sport but a fighter accepts those injuries on the basis that no one's cheating and that each fighter is using his natural strength and talent. obviously the risk of injury rises when someone is jacked on steroids.
I've changed my mind, I don't care who wins now, but Pac's feasting on carcasses and old men is leaving a bitter taste. Perhaps I am now leaning more towards Mayweather.
Ortiz and Marquez, haha I shook up the world, I'm a bad man.
Does this mean that Mayweather thinks that Pacquiao has a strength greater than anyone he has ever faced? He hasn't asked any previous opponents for such drug test.Quote:

And I don't think any drugs can enhance the talent. It's either you have it or you don't.

Just hope its definitive with ZERO dispute...a clean 10 count brutal KO so we dont have to look for 2+ more yrs of it again leading to rematch.
I used to want Pacquiao to win, but now I don't care. I just wanted them to fight, but they have fuk'd it up so many times that I'm completely apathetic.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler votes for Manny. Can you count his vote?

Lol. You're a mod. I would abuse my power if I were you. ;DQuote:

I changed my mind also. Floyd is by far the better boxer and would do Boxing the biggest favour by winning and convincing Manny to play politics with other actual politicians.
Floyd's Defense and Skill and cockiness vs Manny's Power and will and genuine humility.
Pac ofcourse:)
I'm over it.....
If Pac wins then HE is GOD and boxing forums will be even worse..... But I will give him the respect he is due. Just wish he wouldn't have acted so shady in regards to the tests at first.
If Floyd wins then excuses galore!! Oh Manny was old lol (Floyd is older)
Pac wins then its a Win/Win
If Floyd wins then it doesn't matter..... its a no win situation for Floyd
Hagler's opinion on Pbf asking for the tests seems reasonable.Quote:

I would want Manny to win.
But if you ask me who I think will win, its a tough one to decide. I wont be surprised if their 1st fight will end up in a draw. I guess if Manny beats floyd by a slim one, there will be another fight and another..
I just wish this fight happens.
if it still doesn't happen after the ortiz and marquez fights, i don't think its ever gonna happen.
im really not bothered
can we have a not bothered option please
