    You need to learn to read. Where did I say they are picking Pacquiao? I said they want pacquiao to win, they are rooting for him. You have the same literacy skills as Floyd.

    Pac fans (Ali included) are in for a rude awakening May 2. Easy work, I'm telling you...
    I love Ali, but he's going to be disappointed...maybe not as much as some people on this forum, though :lol:

    Not all past greats, and definitely not all whites. Pretty much all my friends are rooting for Mayweather, and they are predominantly eastern europeans/latinos

    But yes of course, all filipinos will root for their idol.

    oh, no doubt. I think in Ali's case Floyd's health first approach is hitting a nerve.

    Ali is far from an uncle Tom deformity.

    Pacman has the type of charisma every great men will like. In this case in the likes of Ali. But I wonder who he will be rooting for in terms of skills? If we will base who we are going to root for in terms of skills, it is really hard to choose because both fighters showcases totally different fighting styles. One is very elusive while the other is aggressive. On a normal boxing match, if the fight goes the distance, the aggressor have better chances of winning. Things are totally different as far as the mega-fight is concerned. If Manny wants to win, being aggressive is not enough. He needs to score a knockout win. We all know the wonders of Vegas judging especially on a fight where Floyd is on the other side of the ring. But I am still hoping that Floyd would engage Manny on a slug fest. After all, he is about to earn more than the combined amount Ali and Frazier took home after their Thrilla in Manila fight in today's dollars. He needs to step out of his comfort zone if he wants to prove his worth. Here's to a source of boxing news for future reference on this.

    Ali rooting for Pacquiao is completely negated by the fact that boxing_master is also rooting for him.
