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 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.
