Here's a youtube boxing analyst and a die hard Floyd fan who's never liked Manny Pacquiao. But he has no problem giving Pac his due respect even if he says it may anger fellow Floyd fans. Is it really that hard for a ***** to acknowledge a special fighter like Manny Pacquiao just because they love Floyd that much? Is the hatred that thick?

Mayweather fans give Manny the respect he deserves for beating a guy like Margarito. As in, he beat a good fighter. Does he deserve as much respect as Mosely did? Probably not. As he did it first. Pacland's problem is you want respect he doesn't deserve. You want people to claim beating Clottey and Margarito makes you the greatest fighter in the history of boxing....... It don't
How much respect did you give Floyd for beating Mosely? As in a way tougher fight I remember it was more: "Floyd only fights 38 year olds. He was shot. Floyd ducked Mosely at his peak"
I gave tons of respect for Floyd beating Shane, not just by winning, but how he fought. Even when getting rocked the 2nd time and his knees buckling in Round 2, Floyd was walking Shane down just a few seconds later. He fought Shane straight up and didn't run away like many thought he would. My enthusiasm for that win though diminished a few months later when the world witnessed that all Floyd beat was a Sergio Mora level fighter. Pac is a blown up lightweight that just bludgeoned a true junior middleweight who was in the best shape of his life, unlike the version that Shane fought who had to cut 30 pounds to make 147 and was just caught trying to load his gloves.
I think both Manny and Floyd have fought similar opposition the last few years Marquez, Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito vs. Judah, Baldomir, Oscar, Hatton, Marquez, Mosely? Only difference is, Pacquiao fans want you to say Mayweather fights bums, and takes easy fights, whereas Manny fights none stop legends There's little difference in those two lists. Next to none. Either they both fight top guys, or they both pick and choose a bit
There you go with the excuses I'm talking about. A little compliment then a ton of excuses to try and talk it down. "Then the world saw that all Floyd beat was a Sergio Mora level fighter" Just defies logic man. Really does. Don't know how you can expect anyone to be fair with pacquiao, when you're just as bad with Mayweather
The actual truth is Shane destroyed a peak Margarito. And then mayweather beat Shane quite easily. Everything else is just the excuse making, and trying to talk down wins that you're complaining about. What did Morales ever do after beating Pacquiao? The guy lost to David Diaz straight after Manny beat him? Did manny beat a "david diaz" level fighter?
As for your claims about Margarito, 50% of it's false. Margarito has fought once at 154 in maybe the last 6 years? And lost, by a large distance? What's more he'd been out of the ring for nearly 2 years, was coming off a huge beating, and was so ring rusty, that he had to kill himself to even make 150. What's this BS about having to cut 30 pounds to make 147? Manny only fought him 3 pounds up from that?! So he had to cut 27 pounds to make 150?
I'll do the same with Pac. Let's see how Antonio Margarito performs in his next fight. If he loses, draws, or wins unconvincingly against a nobody, I'll admit Pac's win was overated. Until then, I'll treat Pac's win like I treated Floyd's win against Shane before the Mora fight.
Margarito partied it up after beating Cotto and let himself go from his usual gym rat ways. Watch 24/7 of Pacquiao/Margarito. It says all the details. Margarito is usually one of of the fittest boxers out there, training for a fight or not. Capetillo just admitted last week he tried to load his gloves because he knew Margarito was weight drained and not ready at all for Mosley.
This content is protected "I made a mistake. I wasn't trying to hide anything. I just screwed up, and I did it in front of Mosley's trainer and the commissioners. I was just under a lot of pressure because I knew we shouldn't have taken the fight," said Capetillo, adding that dramatic weight loss drained Margarito, and led to his loading the gloves. - Javier Capetillo
