    Obviously not but the hate is still pretty ridiculous and widespread. Completely different styles, completely different reasons to like them. It's strange how divisive boxing can be. Seems to bring out the worst in people (this board is undeniable proof of that).

    Meh.

    I like them both too, though I will admit that I am more of a fan of Mayweather than Pac.

    i think your point sums it up. Floyd and pac are such opposite characters u either like one or the other. Its difficult to LIKE bOth fighters. In terms of respect sure i respect both fighters a tremendous amount. Like most probably do. But youl find few people who LIKE both

    My favourite active boxers today are Mayweather and Pacquiao...if this bout eventually happens I'd probably have a heart attack during the build-up! :dead

    I comment on quite a few threads about Mayweather and Pacquiao...it depends what the subject matter is, and which boxers I feel is in a defendable position. Although from my experience, I have seen very few people who will adopt the same unbiased view as myself. (obviously I try to keep it as unbiased as possible) :patsch

    Yes separating respect and like is good analysis. Though I think that a lot of true boxing fans like them both. People forget that they really don't know these people and saying that they like the personality that is projected by them. It can lead to disappointment. Do we really know if Pacquiao is/has used PEDs? Do people know that Mayweather was charged with domestic abuse? (cleared)

    I like the way they fight. I don't know them personally, so I can't say if I like them personally.

    I like them both. I'm 95 percent sure Mayweather beats the crap out Pacquiao. Doesn't mean I'll like Pacquiao any less after they fight.

    I like your av better.

    To be honest I like them both, its just I like Pac a lot more and find myself defending Pac against Floyd fans. Floyd also does tend to irk me when he talks...he can really spout out some BS.

    like them both but more of a Mayweather fan cause I chose him as a favorite back when he beat Corrales which was a few years before I became a big Pac fan

    Am I the only one that doesn't particularly like either and is sick of seeing 50% of the threads devoted to their little love spat?
