    Just curious....as most of his fans approach the sport as if it were the WWE....They also have no knowledge about the history or the true essence of the sport.

    Your feedback and thoughts?

    True boxing fans dont get affected by what other boxing fans think.

    I'll always have respect for a guy who moved up in weight to face a prime Barrera and a prime Marquez back to back with no tuneup.

    True boxing fans love every single action.

    Only haters hate.

    Pac, just like any great dominant athlete in any sport, will bring in hoards of casual fans. Tiger Woods did it with golf. The Williams sisters did it with tennis. Oscar De La Hoya did it for boxing for 15+ years. Just because casual fans support a great boxer doesn't mean hardcore fans should hate the boxer. That isn't what boxing is all about. Exceptional athletes are great for any sport.

    Pacquiao won't fight Mayweather...He'll continue to milk the clock so to speak till he's run out of Floyd's leftovers
