I haven't been lurking on this forum for very long, and I've been posting for not as long as I've been lurking, and there is something I really don't get. Why the Pac hate? I can understand if people think he's not a top 10 or even top 20 ATG. And I get it that some fans think he's overrated. That said, he's an entertaining fighter who brings a lot to the table to casual fans like me, and he has the skills to even impress the aficianados. The man doesn't disrespect his fans or even non-fans. His accomplishments do nothing to detract from the value of other fighters, and he's done a lot to bring the sport closer to the mainstream. Yes, there's the whole testing controversy and lawsuit against May, but that's between him and May, not May's fans. So enlighten me!
to hate Pac you must hate boxing. he has saved the sport in so many levels.But haters cant see beyond their noses,its a damn bad feeling. Now, *******s..its another story
Love PAC, roach gets on my nerves, hate bob arum, hate *******s even more. Sometimes I find myself wanting PAC to lose so they can just go away. I heard this board used to be good when PAC was a non factor
he was hated by the marquez fans... mexicans. he was hated by the hatton fans... brits. i don't know about the puerto ricans... but, the greatest hate is from the mayweather fans. he is hated by these black high-school boys and mostly uneducated adults. that's why you see plenty of pac hate in here. it can be grouped in generations.
it only changed when Pac overtook Floyd. That's when the haters really got overwhelming and the board turned to ****.
I mean, it is what it is. I cant really comment on that cause I didn't witness. What I do know is, there are some ridiculous *****s and some ridiculous *******s. I find myself hating those *******s more because it seems as if there is more of them and the only thing they know about boxing is manny and Floyd. In fact they talk about Floyd more than any other boxer.
actually most floyd fans are mostly pac fans too when pac was fighting the three mexican warriors and you would see them defending pac against some mexicans posters who were the first pac haters. now that pacquiao is a threat to floyd, the tables have turned and you can see most mexicans (except from a few hardcore haters) now appreciate pac more and many floyd fans became rabid pacquiao haters.
You get it with every fighter. Its down to a few things. 1st children being aloud time on mummy and daddys computer to troll like most on this website. 2nd real love for a certain fighter and faith in there abilities to become the best. Most people get so hung up on what fighter say and do out the ring it blinds there abilities to see a fighter for there tallents. Your always going to have people saying Floyd will beat Pac and the otherway round but were human and are all welcome to an opinion and thats the joy of a forum. Imagine how boring this place would be if we all agreed on stuff.
