I think this is the part that most people forget when judging them both, especially Floyd.

It's a shame because yes, I was (and really still am) a fan of both fighters and their styles. Seeing a Floyd Mayweather match got me back into boxing but I also liked watching Pacquiaos fights too.

I think I just ended up finding myself having to defend Floyd more often from the ridiculous comments made by the waves of Pactards on a regular basis.

Most who know nothing of boxing but just want to be patriotic. Fine, but I found myself having to remind them constantly of Pacquios flaws and Floyds positives to balance up the equation.

So I find myself being more negative towards Pacquiao than I would like because of how OTT the Pactards are.

One would have you believe that Floyd is a war criminal whilst Pacquiao is a saint.

This annoys me too. They both have good and bad like most human beings - Floyd "might" have been involved in domestic violence where as Pac "might" have cheated on his wife a few times. Both psycholgically damaging things to put someone through.

Both fighters have excellent resumes but both have cherry picked a fair amount too especially in the latter part of their careers. (I actually think Floyds has got stronger since he returned)

Floyd does charity work on a regular basis, pays for peoples funerals etc

They're both great fighters and can't see how anybody could not respect them both at least inside that squared circle.
