Before I vent, I want to establish two things: 1) I understand this is a forum and EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion so I understand if people want to come back at me and say that what I'm about to say is BS. 2) I've been a member of this forum for over 4 years now and this has been one of my favorite places to be regardless if it's on the internet or in real life. Recent "debates" has been the reason I've been driven out of this place and don't post as much as I used to. If I do post, it's on topics outside of Pacquiao/Mayweather even though they're both my current two favorite fighters in the game today.

Pacquiao and Mayweather are easily two of the greatest fighters who have ever laced them up in the HISTORY of boxing. The ONLY thing that can be debated between the two are who is arguably better or whose resume is superior. Every time these guys are mentioned on a thread, it turns into a battle of people nuthugging the two or hating what each man has done. At the slightest hint of one person starting to give the other an advantage, the hatefest begins and the thread is killed IMO. When someone takes the other's side, they are immediately tagged with a hater/nuthugger stamp. It is ridiculous! Why can't people just debate or get into a heated battle even if it gets to that?!

If anyone discredits what either man has done that is just RETARDED. I personally see boxing going down the crapper as soon as both men are out of the game and then what? Instead of appreciating two unique fighters who will go down in the history books, we are finding ways to make them ordinary fighters by some of the reasoning that gets formulated.

Floyd Mayweather is a fucking boxing GENIUS! Yea he's a dumbass for what's going on with him outside of the ring but people are destroying him because of his inactivity and that he might be afraid to fight Manny. He is definitely not afraid. You're telling me out of all the guys he fought on his record, that he's now going to be afraid of Manny? He has legal issues, some that could mess up his future FOREVER! Would you think about your job 100% if you had so much crap going on outside of it? And this guy's job isn't exactly one you would want to do without COMPLETE focus on the task at hand. Boxing, in a nutshell, is about beating the other guy up. This man hasn't been rocked more than you can count on your hand and people call him boring. GENIUS is the work.

Manny Pacquiao has done something no other fighter has done. People on here whole-heartedly believe he is juicing. Where's the proof? There is none out there! But people believe anything you say if it backs up someone being discredited for what they've done. I don't even want to get into him cause quite frankly, I'm tired of actually getting upset over a forum. But can you see the following:

Tim Bradley fighting Pascal, Hopkins, Dawson?
Nonito Donaire fighting Cotto, Angulo, Cintron, Alvarez?

I think I'm done typing. Enjoy the rest of your day!
