HAHA good one.

BTW, I've calmed down now.

And I agree with you guys.

Manny can use a bat if he wants.

I think I mighta swore at a couple of people on this thread. This is sort of an apology, but probably closer to an explanation.

I wrote it on another thread. I was replying to somebody who answered a question about catch-weights.....

Hate is a strong word.

Up until about 7-8 days ago, I was a struggling, confused, Manny admirer, who tolerated his ***wit fan-boy's. Well, I am no longer ANY of those things. Four things happened during the last week-or-so, that have changed everything for me.

That 60 minutes show was a real eye-opener. During that show it became absolutely obvious to me that Manny was a hype-job with a manufactured resume'. He is a terrific fighter, don't get me wrong, but Manny has been given pass, after pass, after pass, after pass..... by everyone, including me. I made excuses for Manny, when I should have - and did - know better. And now, because of his 8th divisional title, Manny is being passed off as the GOAT? Oh please, what a fkn joke.

That's when I realised the impact that a show like 60 minutes can have on non-boxing fans. The vacant JMW title that Manny won by beating a slow, plodding, mediocre, shop-worn, welterweight BUM, with no KO power, who could not even currently compete with the top welter's..... was being used as proof that Manny was the GOAT. That title is a poor joke.

Then came Martinez.....

Bob Arum stated that Manny Pacquiao could beat Sergio Martinez.....

Then Arum stated that Manny could not beat Sergio Martinez.....

And then came Marquez, at 147.....
So, Manny will not fight the old-age pensioner Marquez unless the bout is held at 147. The already stretched Marquez has to go up two divisions to fight Pacquiao, and yet Manny will not even defend his JMW title vs Martinez at 154. WTF?

Then I started to think about it and realised that there has been controversy involving every single Pacquiao fight, without exception, since before Marquez II. Catch-weights, shop-worn opponents, exhibition match's passed off as title fights, lucky decisons, OST issues, bizarre occurences both in and out of the ring, in house match-ups, and the list goes on.

And then, you look at who else is involved, Arum, Roach, Ariza.

The fourth event, and straw that broke the camels back, was when I strongly objected to the fact that Manny would not fight Marquez at 140. We all know that Manny is a JWW, and that he could easily make 140. We also know that JMM is irrelevant above 135, and would be clearly out-matched even at JWW.

So, I try to explain this, and reason with a number of Pacquiao fan's. I get told "the pee drinker deserves a beating, Manny makes the rules he is the P4P king, JMM has no chance at 147 and Manny will KTFO that cry-baby".

I try to reason with them some more, explaining that this should be a fairer contest, and that Marquez is getting set up here. They say "stfu up *****, tell your idol he is on holiday, Marquez will take the beating instead of Floyd". WTF? I had never even mentioned Mayweather, not once.

Just one nutcase poster? Hardly. Most Pacquiao fans insist "*** that crybaby, he can come to 147 and take his beating". And every valid point you make = " hard luck, Manny is the draw ".

The general opinion of most Pacquiao fan's is that Manny makes the rules because he can, and who cares that a fairer contest would be better for boxing, as well as for Manny's legacy. All that matters is that Manny wins. It does not matter who he beats, or how he beats them, just as long as he wins.

I'm not perfect, I have the odd little issue in life, as well as a couple of bad habits, but my biggest issue is..... unreasonable people.

I am a huge believer in the golden rule, and I admire George Bernard Shaw's Unreasonable Man.....
" The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man ". Well, not in my fkn world it doesn't.

I said earlier that hate is a strong word, but it is an understatement when it comes to how I feel about unreasonable people. I object to sharing the planet with them. *** them, they have no worth, to anyone.

I am hard on unreasonable people. If I caught someone in my house, I may not stop hitting him just coz the stick broke.

It is fair to say that I got a little bit riled about the Marquez issue

I want to be less "confrontational" shall we say, and even though I strongly disrespect a number of posters, I do not want to be abusive. I want to fit in, like the reasonable man in GBS's quote.

But there are two problems. It is very hard to ignore unreasonable cvnts. And what if Pac/JMM is made at 147? If it does get made, then a lot of people are gonna get real sick of me, I can tell you that for free..... and no ***er better walk out in front of my car wearing a Manny t-shirt.

So, now that I have calmed down a bit, what do I do about my 6 "Manny is a coward" reasons? Do I take them back? And if so, how? Those 6 reasons have been closely scrutinised, and most definitely have not been rebutted.

My new tag..... will remain until I decide what to do.

Team Pacquiao.....
Still piss-scared of Marquez, since 2004
