The socks and all that crap were all excuses. Even as a pacfan, I can admit to that. Going to the ring prepared and ready is part of the boxer's(and their team's) job.

Regarding the Floyd Haters will not give him his due thing, I believe it will all come down to how he wins the fight(if he does win the fight). If he wins via a boring desicion, we can expect lots of negative feedback. I he wins by a shutout or a KO, I think most fans will give him props for it. Granted, there will still be haters that will be making excuses, but it won't be as many compared if he wins by a boring UD running around the ring pot-shotting all night. IMO.

Now that it's just about signed, and if Pacquiao loses, who here will take away from Mayweather's win? What will your excuse be?
why? i didnt say Pacquiao wouldnt win.

But i just know better than to believe Floyd Haters will give the guy his just due, even if he beats Pacquiao.

Lets not forget the "socks" fiasco surrounding the first JMM fight or the "gloves" fiasco surrounding the first Morales fight.
