Does Pacquiao deserve all the hate???

How I love to read the clash of words between Bilbo and Miles. My top two posters in this forum.

Hate to say this Miles, Bilbo is winning in his logic but you're actually doing well except that your rebuttals are tainted with Pac hate. So you're losing but not in a bad way. As an unbiased poster and at the same time a pacfan, I'm also frustrated with Pac vs Shane but Bilbo is showing a clearer picture why this fight must be done instead of Pac vs Marquez or Pac vs Berto.

How would fighting Berto be any worse than fighting Clottey? Going on that kind of logic it would have made better business sense to be fighting Mosley two years ago. And yet, we only get Mosley after he has produced a career worst loss and a mediocre draw against some guy from The Contender. Hmm, interesting timing. And it is not as though Marquez was outboxed in his two fights with Manny either. And Berto for better or worse is undefeated, young and at leat winning. Logic suggests that Berto and Marquez are extremely viable fights. Sure, people can disagree with me, but the arguments are relatively straightforward and I don't think they have been particularly hateful towards Manny.

At the end of the day I just want to see the best fighting the best. I don't get any pleasure from seeing fighters still in their prime fighting people who just don't know when to give it up. If Mosley gets busted up is anybody really going to be satisfied? I was sick of the Margarito fight after 8 rounds. Nobody wants to see a nice guy like Mosley get hacked up. It's a little bit like Calzaghe against Jones Jr, but that was made bearable by the fact that Calzaghe has no power. Mosley has done little to justify this fight and it is obivously all about the money. It is only right for boxing fans to be critical of Manny for following up a fight with a cheat with a fight against a slumped 40 year old.

Of course I will be rooting for the underdog as I always do, but I worry about this fight. Mosley will need to make an impact and to make it early, otherwise he is in for hell. How is he going to keep up with a guy who throws a 1000 punches a fight and carries enough power to break faces? He broke both Margarito AND Oscar's orbital bones. That is just not normal. How often does that happen?
