Why does it always seem that Pacquiao and Mayweather fans never like the same fighter

    Question for floyd fans what do you guys like more: the style and skills of a boxer or the swag the guy has?

    The only one that I like on that list is Ward. I'm really not a fan of the others. I knew Ward had the potential to be a great fighter in the first round of the Kessler fight.
    My favorite fighters
    1.Floyd
    2. Ward
    3. Nonito
    4. Hopkins
    5. JMM/ JML

    I think it's more the slick style that they don't enjoy, not race. The same people you mentioned were all fans of RJJ, Tyson, Hearns, Hagler, Leonard (assuming they are old enough).

    I'm Filipino and I like Paul Williams and James Kirkland, but do enjoy some slick boxers as well, as long as I have enough caffiene inside me. :yep

    style and skill

    I haven't ever been a fan of a brawler.

    I like boxers, swarmers, and BOXER-punchers.

    Nonitoe will become rich within a few years if he can survive and make it big. He can recruit Floyd and emmanuel fans.

    I get that for guys like mayorga or margarito who are absically tough fighters rather than boxers but you have to like a guy like tyson allthough he was actually skilled and not some mindless brawler imo.
    Or the way hagler fought vs hearns, epic fighst happen because of it.
    But you prefer a style like hopkins or ward for example over a prime roy jones for example?

    I think I'm one of the few Floyd fans that like Bernard over Roy.

    floyd fans know its skills that pay the bills.


    not power
    not speed
    no peds
    none of that one dimesional ****.

    we like boxers, that cant fight on the inside and out.
    not those straight up and down fighters with no special effects.
    i like that slick **** with pin point placed shots. alot of head movment i mean not that bobble head ****. i like smart boxers that can bang the most.

    Mayweather fans generally do not like Cotto.


    But there is a pattern. Most of it is a subconscious agenda to maximize one fighter's accomplishments while discrediting the other's.

    floyd fan here who can't stand ward or cotto but i am a fan of margo....i like quick dynamic fighters like gamboa/russell/broner best though

    *******s have 3 types of fighters they like and only know about these guys cause of their association with pac, roach or the phillipines:

    1. former pac opponents who they overhype to make pac look better
    2. roach trained fighters
    3. other filipino fighters
