You think so? They were quiet after Morales I.

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.
Although, if Mayweather has to dominate the smiling Filipino to get the respect he's fought for since day one, then that's how it's gotta be :-\
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.
I want Pac to win...
But I my pick/who I think will win is PBF via UD...
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.
But injury is part of the hazard of boxing. Is the favored boxer (who some regard as the best in the world) worried that he might sustain more injuries than he usually gets from an underdog? Shouldn't the underdog be the one who should be expressing such concern?
And if I recall it right, Michael Phelps was caught with a recreational and not an enhancing drug. He wasn't using it to get ahead in sports competition. But it's wrong, nonetheless.
