your opinion on here means jack shit, and your "knowledge" on anything boxing related is non-existent

I am just reading this thread and just had to comment.

I am just an ordinary fan and will admit that i don't have boxing "knowledge" compared to most of you guys here. I hope this is not the general attitude in this forum -- to be snotty against the occassional fans especially if we have our own opinions on fights that goes against yours.

I am pulling for Pacquiao and I would say that in the last 10 fights of Pac, i was more right than the other so-called knowledgeable fans.

The Filipinos are very lucky to have a stand out champ like Manny and I am happy for them they all deserve a good break in that country for sure.

The trouble some other fight fans have with his fans is that they come on here and have big heads and down play other fighters and flout Mannys achievements in order to make themselves feel even better.

Manny himself doesnt do that at all, he is very humble.

And when they do it in here and on other sites they flood the main boards with the same content in different threads which looks stupid to the locals and to outside onlookers. Saying it once is enough.

Agree Andre, it gets quite annoying because it always seems that Pac is a likeable guy and most admire his skills but when you get the onslaught of Pac Huggers who don't come here at any other time it gets your back up.

If I can offer some advice to any newer members that I have learned here since becoming a member it's this , read the threads. See if there is an existing thread on a subject and add to it, don't start another one the same.

Show respect to the other forum members and to all the fighters out there other than your favourite, the general membership here is regulars and very knowledgeable fight fans who have diverse tastes in their fighters and don't pop up every 6 months or so when their guy is fighting.

As a still new member who is on here regularly I get P'd off when I have to trawl through a bunch of pretty boring posts based on not much fact or details and a lot of gloating.

As for the fight, may the best man on the day win, the real fans on here will applaud a worthy winner the hugger will simply gloat or not be here should there man lose.

Rant over.
