Does Pacquiao deserve all the hate???

[Mattyhitman]

No !

In some people eye's though he will never get credit till he either fights Floyd, or submits to Floyds requests and completes the drug testing he wants him to do.

Regardless who he has fought in the last 4yrs it will mean jack because of the drug claims some will label him with.

He's not hated. He's currently the most popular fighter in the sport and well on his way to becoming one of the biggest sporting icons since Ali.

The only critics he has are a few cretinous keyboard warriors on the internet who barely count as human beings.

Well said Bilbo. As boxing fans surely we should appreciate the talents of Manny. I'm not a fan boy or a hater but a fan of boxing and Manny's a credit both in and out the ring.

I've never understood why people suddenly believe what the Mayweather clan have to say. They made up a story about Manny using PED's and then suddenly like sheep some people start believing it. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? Where's the evidence that Manny's been using PED's? If someone can provide me with evidence then I'll be at the front of the queue in calling for Manny to be banned from the sport. It's going to take more than a few idiots "claiming" Manny must be on PED's before I actually believe it....how about starting with some evidence first eh....

I could accuse anyone on these boards of being a rapist or a murderer and your guilty until you can prove to me that you have never done one of the other. It sounds ridiculous but that's basically what the Mayweather's have done!!

Pacquaio is a great fighter, I have no qualms in saying that. He is exciting to watch and brings a lot of excitement to his fights. However, having said that, I do have some issues, but like someone mentioned before that is largely to do with his team. There was no good reason to call Cotto down to a CW, there was no justification for giving Margarito a big fight and there is widespread disdain for choosing to fight Mosley at this point in Mosley's career. We can all point the finger at Roach and Arum, but at the end of the day it is Manny choosing to get in the ring with these people.

We cannot just give unreserved praise to a fighter and it is certainly not hateful to formulate constructive criticism when it is called for.

[Ant Live]

He don't deserve the hate but he will get an ice pack.
He challenge the wrong veteran!!!

[:::PSL:::]

Damn right GB. This is a bait thread.

Like the majority, I'm disappointed too. Maybe Pac deserves the hate. But not all of it.

I'm really piss at him for chosing Shane over Berto. Obviously it's more about money now than legacy. But wtf are we gonna do about it?... bitch for 6 months?

This is JMM's fault too. He outpriced himself AGAIN.

[:::PSL:::]

This is like watching TS Hardcore_cash throwing a duck in a pond full of piranhas.

[BoxingGorilla]

I'm a "yes" vote.

I think Atlas might be a "yes" as well.

[Pavlik]

No because PAC is not in his prime anymore but still manages to beat them.

[The Hitman]

Manny "The Mosquito" Pacquiao because he swarms all over his opponents - looks like Duran and Fights like a cross between Hagler and Leonard! It says something about him, that a guy from the Phillipines can fill a huge stadium in Dallas. He's a class act for sure.

[jeuring]

I just dont know what all the fuss is about
