I know we've already done a poll on who we think will win (PBF won that 60-40), but I was just wondering who you actually want to win March 13th? Both fighters have haters in abundance so thought it was worth a poll...

I like both (as fighters) but want Pac to win.
Reason being.. I see Pac as the underdog, think a win will make him a genuine legend and he's by far the more exciting to watch.
Go Pac!!!
Mayweather.
Mayweather. I don't mind Manny but his fans annoy me. If he wins we'll be hearing for the next couple of decades about how good he was, a Floyd win shuts them up to an extent.
Mayweather... I nearly picked Pac as I envisage less excuses driving everyone up the wall if Mayweather loses, but no.
Forget the fans.
For once, i wanna see the guy with a punchers chance win :)
As long as it isn't turned into a boring defensive display by Floyd where his output is real low and not really damaging where he wins a close split decision like against Oscar I don't mind.
Just want a fight where both are allowed to get on with it by the ref with a definitive winner after loads of action, lot to ask I know.
Floyd for me. I want him to be recognised for what he is...the best. Some people still don't give him the credit which is just ridiculous.
Pacquiao stricktly based on the fact Floyd is an arrogant ass who has zero respect for anyone
I dont mind seeing either guy win, as long as the fans of both camps accept whatever happens and don't bitch about it after.
I will be pulling for Pac Man. I just like his style better. Pac is a real fighter who wants to fight everyone and anyone (whoever is best)whereas Mayweather is too careful and just seems to be in it for the money and attention IMO.

I want to see them lose convincingly but not against each other. In this case, I would like Mayweather to win for the same reason. If PacFans get totally excited because he beat David Diaz or an old ODLH weight-drained zombie, imagine if he beat a Floyd Mayweather. Oh man! I hope not :vd: .
I prefer Pacman to Mayweather which I despise big time. HOwever, PAc trolls are as annoying as a bunch of mosquitos on a honey covered butt, a real pain in the ass. So for me it is not that much who I want to win but who I want to lose. MAyweather, obviously.
floyd..but wouldnt mind manny winning, because i want to see floyd's flunkies esp ellerbe talk that all that crap when floyd is forced to fight his way back to the top..then maybe we'll see
PBF v MOsley
PBF v williams
PBF v berto
PBF v Cotto
Pac man :cool:
Mayweather is a phenomenon, and would have been an exceptional fighter in any era. I hope he beats Pacquiao, and well. It would help to cement his legacy. and would pave the way for another title at 154.
God I want Manny to win, because I hate that piece of $hit Mayweather.
Only thing though, I'll probably have to stay off the boards for a week if that happens, because certain Pacfans that are beyond annoying now, will be unbearable if Manny wins. :-\
LOL sort of a catch 22 isn't it ;DQuote:

as for me being a Pac fan :embarassed: i would love to see him win... if he dosn't it wouldn't effect my opinoin on how good he has been for the sport and what he has achived ;)
impresses me everytime he fights still don't know how he took some of them shots Cotto was throwing at him in the first 4 rounds... amazing stuff 8)
Mayweather is my choice :)
Pacquiao all the way. I just don't buy Mayweather's persona as a complete act and can't stand his lack of respect.
I love both fighters, but Manny's fans annoy me too much and need taking down a peg or two.

Of course Manny is the more likeable and personable character and the more exciting fighter hands down, part of me wants to get behind him for that.... But at the end of the day I'd rather have a character like Floyd at the top, think it's just more befitting a fighter. Guys like Hopkins, Toney, Floyd, are really the kind of guy's I can always root for, maybe it's in part because I just can't imagine having that kind of regard for one's self, I have a weird sort of affinity to cheer them on in spite of pretty well any other factors.
I can't understand anyone wanting Mayweather to win. He's an A hole, soooooo why do people want an A hole to win?
Manny Pac is the man I want to win. He's exciting and brings it to the table.
Pacquiao is genuinely a good guy, a hero for the underdogs of the whole world. It's nice to see traits like GREAT and HUMBLE in the same sentence.
Pac.
I hated Pac when he beat MAB, Hatton, Cotto, Morales, ODLH as I have grown up watching these guys for years and become fans of them because of what they brought to our sport. Pac has beat some true greats, guys I hold above Floyd any day I have always seen Floyd as overrated.
i don't care who wins, just hope it's a clear cut win, with no help from either the ref or the judges
My vote goes to Mayweather. He has never gotten any respect and while I'm not sure that'll change with a win, at least he'll be the p4p king again (rightfully so).
IMO, probably the most underrated champion around.
i want pac to win. i think it's much better for boxing for having the much likable guy winning.
heart says Pac but my head says Mayweather. I vowed never to underestimate Pac after he beat Cotto, but Mayweather is just a totally different kettle of fish. If Manny did beat Mayweather, omg what an achievement and I hope he can do it. But will he? thats another question.
I don't really care who wins, I just want a good fight.
Manny Pacquiao :)
Yeah there are many annoying pactards nowadays but they've around for at least 6 yrs in the boxing forum community.
I think this is what happened :
Pac after Ledwabba was already a 2 division champion ( Linear, WBC 112 and IBF 122). To the Hardcore fans Manny Pacquiao is a promising Good Champion that could be GREAT but that is not the case for Pactards :D to them he is already a GREAT Fighter.
Most Hardcore fans have seen Pac againts Ledwabba, Sanchez, Julio and Lucero before Barrera. With those 4 Fights a hardcore fan would rate Pac as a Good Ordinary belted champion. but the pactards have seen more devastating performances than those 4 fights. Sasakul, Chocviat, Barotillo, Jamili, Hussein, Rakkiatgym and Mckellin were all great fights for Pacquiao thus the pactards rate Pacquiao very high.
so when the Barrera fight comes along where Barrera was heavily favored. pactards would go the forums and posts some annoying and ridiculous comments as "Pacquiao will win', "Pacquiao will knock barrera out" and at that time. It really sounds annoying and ridiculous :)
Its been like that since. Hardcore boxing fans keeps getting annoyed at the pactards because the pactards "Worship" pacquiao and ridiculously overrate him. The only friend that the pactards have are the record books.
That i think is the story of the pactards :D

I can't really vote either way as I am a fan of both fighters.
Usually I think Manny will lose and don't really care if he does, but then once he starts actually fighting in the ring and you see that mini tornando in action, beaming smile as he goes back to his corner and ultra humble in victory I can't help but love the guy.
If he did pull it off against Floyd I'd be beaming from ear to ear for him, but if Floyd wins I'll enjoy the continuing legacy of the man who seemingly can't be beat.
Money Mayweather
I'd like to see Pac win... They are two of my favorite fighters to watch at the moment.
In the spirit of a brilliant boxing match though, I really want to see Pac win.. If Floyd wins, it'll be another impressive fight and a demonstration of his superior skill over pretty much anyone who will step in the ring with him.. But i've seen that and know what it looks like...
What I havn't seen though is someone get in with Floyd and beat him with their own superior skill... To see that would be quite a spectacle, and would have to be one of the most special performances in history...
Either way I think this will be a great fight. Although I see Floyd dominating a bit too much in the area's he is so impressive at, I think Pac is tougher than Hatton, and if he's got his head on, probably more tough to catch by surprise which is where Mayweather can be dangerous when he's not just winning on points... I think pac is in much sharper shape than Hatton was against Mayweather. So I think we are in store for a spectacular fight if Pac is prepared to hang it all on the line and not leave a single doubt after the fight that if he'd done this or that, he might have had more of a chance.. I want him to leave Plan's A to Z in there and every ounce of his soul to try to beat Mayweather...
That is what a mega super fight is all about, and I think this is the combination to give it to us...
I remember during the RBR for Oscar Pac you were almost falling off your chair with excitement by round 3 when Pac started to really nail big, bad Oscar, and it was apparent that this little guy's gonna beat him up!!Quote:
