    I agree with a lot of comments on this message board below, about this sort of trash. I'm all for a bit of trolling, but there comes a point where it gets so ridiculous, that it's direspectful to the sport. Almost humiliating to guys who've been debating this since the 1970s.

    Read one of the comments. An old ex pro. He's right. Some cocky college student punk, who wouldn't even fight his room mate, on a computer calling guys who risk their lives cowards

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...g-manny-pacquiao-with-bad-boy-antics#comments

    As I said, I make a few comments myself, but I've just never understood this stuff.

    Imagine how Pacquiao fans would feel if Mayweather fans just created article after article saying

    "Manny won't fight Mayweather, as he doesn't want to do drug tests, as he's on steroids. And that's why he's done so well at the higher weights"

    I know you'll get that comment a few time. And maybe one article every now and then like that. But imagine if you got punks writing articles on that, saying it's fact, day after day after day.

    A guy on there is right. Pacquiao fans should say a big thank you, that the other side don't sink to this sort of level.

    What's stopping, say me, just writing none stop articles, about Manny not taking the fight because he's on steroids?

    I'll tell you why? I like a bit of fun, but I'm not in the business of purely writing stuff to upset people.

    No respect in boxing any more. People are just prepared to disrespect guys who risk their lives to score some cheap points

    Stop acting like Pac doesn't get any criticism. He gets a ton. Tailor made, washed up, weight drained, etc etc etc. It's nothing but internet BS, not in tune with reality.

    Look in the mirror a little.

    Hey

    Answer me straight. How many articles do you see on here, or any site, where it's a Mayweather fan writing an article saying.

    "Manny didn't take the fight as he's a steroids cheat. "

    As fact. And not taking any notice of anythng that's happened

    Wake up man. That happens 20 times a day from Pacquiao fans.

    The lack of respect for the community is ridiculous.

    All I say is, be thankful Mayweather fans have more tolerance and respect

    We could quite easily just sit there, writing none stop articles, about steroids, in which the sole purpose is to **** you off

    Answer me the question.

    How many articles. As in articles, people have taken time to publish do you see like that about Pacquiao

    Compared to how many ones Pacquiao fans write.

    As I said, it's a respect issue.

    way to pat yourself on the back.

    In my eyes, Mayweather fans do not have more tolerance and respect than any other fans. This thread is nothing but a Mayweather fan trying to make it look like Mayweather fans are better than Pacquiao fans. We can all see through your bull****. You wanna give yourself a pat on the back, good for you, but don't expect everyone else to join in.

    Answer my question.

    Do you see Mayweather fans, every day, taking time to write articles, saying the Mayweather fight never happened, as Manny is a steroids cheat.

    As in, every single day. Multiple times.

    You don't.

    There's a different between fan board banter, and just complete lack of respect for boxing fans.

    As in, writing articles trying to upset people

    Dude, you and I both know there's a big difference between a bit of fan board banter, and guys who just devote their lives to flooding sites with articles, designed to upset, and **** people off.

    It's all one way

    There's a big difference between arguing on a board, and setting out to try and make entire communities hostile against a group of fans you don't like.

    Trying to make web sites hostile against a set of fans. By flooding it with articles.

    It's just a bullying mentality

    Man, and if you've ever lived in SE Asia, you'd know they're well known for that - bullying, bitching, talking behind your back.

    I've lived in Singapore and Malaysia. It's a mentality

    People of all sides on the spectrum exist. The anti-mayweather posters/writers far outnumber the rest, however. It's a sad thing that people can have so much hate against particular fighters so much that it effects their overall judgment.

    Boxing fans, especially on internet forums, are almost impossible to have an intelligible conversation with. I read a good thread on these forums once in a blue moon, because the same no life posters with agendas ruin almost everything. I've thusly lost hope and read forums/articles only once in a while.
