Sometimes the most soft spoken fighters inflict the most damage, (like Tyson.) Never judge a book by it's cover. There's also a definite element of racism from Floyd fans when they discuss Pacquiao. It's undeniable.
I don't think they hate Manny. I'm a big Manny fan, but his fans bother me. Most of them have no clue about any other fighters, they only watch Manny ( which is fine) but then they try to talk like they follow the sport. I can't stand Floyd, but I can still admit that he is a great boxer. I put my dislike to the side and appreciate what Floyd does in the ring. The obnoxious PAC fans and Floyd haters can't even admit that Floyd is a great boxer . I admit, I hated on him for a while, but when he took the Canelo fight ( a fight that most fans, including myself, felt he was scared to take), when he took it and made him look like an amateur, I had to respect him. On the flip side, his haters immediately changed their tone and said that Canelo was somehow a cherry pick. When he was gonna fight khan, the haters claimed cherry pick, when] he didn't fight khan, haters claimed duck. When he wasn't gonna rematch msidana, haters claimed duck . When he did rematch him it changed to cherry pick. I do think he ducked a prime Sergio though. All the while, manny is fighting rios and Algeiri. And before those two, he was pretty much fighting the same guys Floyd was fighting. Being a manny fan myself, that is what annoys me about manny fans.
