    I rooted for him until after the Oscar fight. After that I was done with him and Joke Coach. His fans are repugnant. And the more you look at him over the years the more it seems there were some 'unusual' things going on. The guy has an unending amount of excuses for every loss and avoiding blood testing. It really became pathetic. The nutty stuff he believes and says due to the cult he's in it not tolerable either. He's a total hypocrite.

    Dislike Manny , you dislike boxing.

    Same goes for Floyd, not his biggest fan out of the ring , but it is in it what counts.

    I prefer to apply common sense. OJ wasn't proven guilty in 1995.

    I'm not very educated on the OJ evidence or this case since I didn't exist yet, but I still doubt a boxer's career and a man's "possible" premeditated murder can be compared.

    New member here, been a Pacquiao fan for years. I disagree, Manny has slipped. He never KO a welterweight.

    I'm not a huge fan, but enough to tune into a few of his fights.

    Pacquiao's dwindling number of KO's also corresponded with him moving up in weight and taking on iron chinned fighters... just maybe that supplies as much evidence as PED's... most of us know jack **** about PED's and I don't think we were around Pacquiao on a daily basis or Ariza, but we did observe the guy moving up and fighting more durable guys. DLH was a scarecrow, Hatton had a terrible camp and didn't listen to SR, Cotto fought a bloody war with a guy you can't hope to win against if you plan on blitzing him.

    oh, you're a young thing.

    yeah, i like pacquiao. he was an outsider that made it as an underdog. no silver spoon for him. loved to fight as few do, even in the boxing game (duran like). an asian that became a household name in the west. that's a legend. time moves on, but he's going down in the history books. :deal

    The Oscar fight is what transcended him to megastar. It's normal for any megastar to have far more idiots supporting him than intelligent ones. Once you attract the majority, you're bound to have many clueless idiots cheering. It's like a visit to the mall, your chances of bumping into mental abominations are far higher during weekends than it is on weekdays.

    What May 2nd proved is that on an even level playing field Floyd is more naturally gifted and as powerful as Pac. They BOTH could have been on something. What people forget is even with USADA and VADA tests, the acceptable limits for levels are still MANY TIMES HIGHER than what naturally occurs in the body. The thresholds have to be exaggerated enough to say without a doubt they are cheating.

    I agree though any logical person has to see the night and day difference when Pac is testing and not.
