    Add Arguello to that list aswell. You could possibly add Floyd Patterson & Joe Louis too. Possibly.

    Floyd fans can be just as bad if not worse. But that doesn't stop Floyd fans from being Floyd fans. Every special boxer will have overadoring fans. The nuthugging fans can't be a valid excuse for not liking a fighter. It is hypocritical.

    You've now said Pac fans aren't likable. Now back to the thread question: What is there to dislike about Manny Pacquiao? (the man himself, not his fans)

    Yeap, it's a total cop out. They'd have to hate themselves for their love of Mayweather, or any other boxers fans, but they don't. They just hate Pacquiao fans...

    Marco Antonio Barrera and his fans affection for Morales was incredible.

    See even you found vices with Jordan. There's no point trying to please everyone.

    I dont like alot of the PBF fans on here either because they defend the stupid decisions their fighter makes sometimes. Thats why i am rather a fan of just boxing.

    There is nothing to dislike about him. The man always comes to fight and entertain the fans just like Morales did.

    I think alot of it has to do with Pacs team. They make bad choices for him and make him look bad. Just look at how Pac said he agreed to all testing then the next week on 24/7 Koncz is saying we will only agree to 7 days.
    Roach also talks alot of ****. Arum also lies on his behalf.

    Honestly i would say his fans and team do all the bad press for him.

    That's nit picking, and I don't see it as a vice really. The man can gamble all he wants, he's earned it.

    You don't see guys out there saying Jordan is overrated, or a joke, etc do you?

    I'm sure there are people out there who think he is egotistical; or a sell-out; or a baseball failure.

    Doesn't matter who it is, there will be people hating on them.

    There is nothing to hate about Pac as a person or as a fighter. However, the way he has been allowed to win so called "world titles" by inventing his own divisions is beyond scandalous.

    Guys like Arguello, Duran, Hearns, Delahoya, Mayweather, and many others won multiple world titles by fighting AT THE WEIGHT. Pac did it by using star power to promise big money at ridiculous catch weights. He has managed to turn his career into a charade, and turn himself into a caricature of a fighter.

    When Pac drug tests THEN does this? He will get respect. Until then? This is just more evidence of the man being a cheat.
