    With him being such a POS, what actually makes you root for him? Are you the type of guys that were cheering for Creed to beat Rocky too? Seeking genuine responses. I'm not even a Pac fan (routed for Bradley and Algeiri to beat him) but cannot fathom why anybody would want such an abhorrent character who is a clear favourite to win other than nationalism and/or racism.

    Some Pac fans. And opinionated people such as yourself.

    Manny is a POS in God's eyes for breaking the ten commandments. You're a better judge than God?

    If by opinionated you mean having an opinion, I guess you're correct. Obviously I'm not twigging on to what your alluding to, so please help me and elaborate on your accusation.

    You called him a POS and inferred that anyone rooting for him must be either a nationalist or a racist. Of course you are entitled to your opinion but those opinions seem pretty severe to me. I personally don't care for Mayweather outside of the ring but the abuse he gets from some people make me root for him because I think it is overdone.

    Well somebody who has multiple convictions of beating up women and has been documented as racist. If that was your neighbour and not a superstar would you not consider them a POS?

    I was clear in my post that I actually can't find another reason why people would root for him other than nationism or racism. The point of this thread was for people to tell me otherwise. That's hardly being opinionated, is it? :rofl:patsch

    God murdered every animal on the entire planet except for the few on Noah's boat. I'm pretty sure that qualifies me as having better moral judgement than that vindictive fictional bogeyman.

    Yes, all Floyd fans are clearly racist/nationalistic.

    It couldn't be that they are just fans of his superlative boxing skills and have followed him for most of his career, could it? :roll:

    Try reading the next sentence before you react like an angry fangirl.

    So far we have "I support him because he's the best".

    Is this not similar to supporting Manchester United (albeit not as of late) or Patriots?

    I read your entire post; people are fans of Floyd because he is a brilliant boxer...don't know why you're struggling to comprehend that notion.

    I haven't shown that I am struggling to comprehend that. Had you read the above post you would understand this. What is it with you and reading?
