I'm a fan of both, and as you can see in my avatar...Prince Naseem Hamed also. I enjoy watching Mayweather (when he is on form) slightly more than Pacquiao...although you know what you are getting with Pacquiao, and the way he has improved through the years has been great to watch.
Whats to like about Floyd? Sure, he has incredible skill. But what good is it if he only engages in fights where the other guy has no chance? As good as Floyd is, he should have challenged for the middleweight title by now. Instead , he fights Marquez, a tough assignment for most, but a no hoper against a bigger, strronger, faster Floyd. then , Floyd goes along with the PED lie (that his crack adddicted father started) just to get out of the potentially best fight to come along in years. Floyd does all this while talking **** and acting like an ignorant douche bag. Again, whats to like?
In the ring I enjoy watching them both, out of it Pac is clearly more likeble and I think it was pretty dam clear Floyd was looking for a way out of a fight agenst him from the start.
Not a fan of Mayweather at all, partly due to his personality and partly because I don't always like his style in the ring. He could have been the Tiger Woods or Roger Federer of boxing with the talent he has but he's always been more comfortable with making easy money. Granted, Tiger and Roger never had to get punched to the face or risk their well-being to reach the top of of their sports, but Mayweather's resume could have been so much better with the talent he possesses. I know that I shouldn't consider what he's like outside the ring, but I always liked Eubank even when he was a complete twat and he never got caught up in any of the **** Floyd has, ie assaulting women and security guards, etc. Mayweather spends too much time being a gangsta and not enough time being an boxer for my liking. What's not to like about Pac? His fights are always exciting and you never see him dance to a points victory. He seems to get a kick out punching other people lol. I'm not sure he's totally the nice guy he's portrayed to be, but it makes him a damn sight easier to root for.
Im a fan of both although recently I've become much more of a fan of Mayweather. Both of them guys are great fighters and I appreciate them both. SSM is also a favourite of mine too, you can't forget Shane was the man once too thats why I hope after this Pac man fight he retires with some dignity left!
I doubt we'll see another person with Mayweathers pure boxing skills for a long time and I doubt we'll see another Pacquiao styled fighter who's able to KO bigger elite fighters either.
I used to like Floyd until he became gigantic fraud ***** Paul Williams, Margarito, Cotto, Pacquiao, Vernon Forrest, Tsyzu etc. are just many of the great imaginary fights Floyd never got involved with.
Yep I'm one of them. I just like floyd's boxing skills more, ive followed his career for longer and also find him more entertaining in and out of the ring and truly believe that there is only one floyd mayweather jr, we will never see another like him. Nonetheless pacquiao is a beast, great guy, terrific boxer and i believe to be 100% clean he is also one of the best boxers in the past 20 years.
Of course I mean, HBO was trying vigorously to make fights happen with all of the abovementioned guys, and there were huge offers on the table for the fights, but Floyd turned them all down to make less money.
appreciate floyd's skill and talent but wish he'd do more with it. he's too safety first for me to enjoy watching him, and obviously he's not a very likeable dude. pac, on the other hand, how cna you not like him, seriously?? you gotta be a serious hater to have something against pac. Floyd gives you too many reasons not to like him.
