Double standards.

If your referring to the pbf threads then i think thats a bit unfair considering the fight only just happened and fans are allowed to be happy and excited because their fighter won. The difference is pacfans did it all the time whether it was just after a fight or even if pac hadnt even signed on to fight anybody they would just talk constantly about how good he is.

To be fair, it wasn't all Pacfans. Just a handful of idiots that made the entire group look bad. It's something that's bound to happen with any extremely popular fighter or sports team.

Good points each way.I do think some of it was pent up...your fav fighter coming back after long layoff and back in the spotlight.But def should not deterioate into bs insulting generalizations and hater this and hater that.

I have boo-koo problems with Floyds theatrics and some of the godthink he's praised with but in fairness he has more threads,topics put up that aim at him as a boxer as well as personally where as most of the negativity surrounding Manny is pointed at the gnad huggers who troll it up oblivious to the rest of the sport and little interest in dicussing things.Not so much the fighter save for one or two exceptions.Though the catchweight stuff is creeping up.Lets hope we dont begin to see threads about "Floyd just got out of the shower" and 'what are his favorite shoes'....

I haven't been here that long but wasn't those ridiculous threads started mainly by Saddoboxer? It seems that the Pac fans like Julius Rain, Bruce Lee, C-Lo are more moderate and has good knowledge on the fight game and aren't the ones to start up threads like that. In fact after Saddoboxer was banned I hardly ever see any ridiculous threads and this section bombarded with Pacquiao threads.

Expletive-boxer had many forms...like a petty doppleganger.And his exit was a breath of fresh air.Their are indeed very level headed Boxing fans who are huge on Manny,C-lo and company being amongst them.hmm Hey you know whats funny,when you hit spell check, S**doboxers name comes up as "Sandbox" Tell the cat

Please note that this isn't aimed at any one specific person! I've enjoyed being a (very small) part of this forum for awhile now, and one of the things I have always loved about it is the tolerance and respect shown by the people that have been here forever and a day. I know people get excited when their favorite fighter is in action - I do! - but I hate seeing people resort to calling each other stupid or idiotic just because there's a difference of opinion.

Can't we all just get along?

Get off your pedestal


But really, I haven't seen any rampant disrespect floating around. I'm guessing Saddo's is one of, if not the most, respectful boxing forums around.

If you are going to make such a bold claim then you have to at least name names so a flame war will start

Exactly. It's been a while since we had one of those epic threads on the off-topic board. C'mon Collins, name some goddamn names! We demand blood.
