Thread: What a great time to be alive

So Pac did it again! The man is a phenomenon. I've never seen anything like him, his speed is just incredible and he has carried his power up in weight with him better than anybody since... Tommy Hearns?? Cotto looked like he'd been shot after that knockdown in the fourth. And I must take my hat off to the great Peurto Rican, he was downright lively for the first four or five rounds, and despite resembling an Italian tank for the last four - he is one of the gutsiest guys going around - well fought Miguel.


So, we are lucky to have not one, but two of the greatest fighters in history going around at this very time. The buzz saw aggression and power of Pacquiao, the defensive wizardry, speed and counterpunching of Floyd.

AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ALL ECONOMIC INDICATORS POINT TO A FIGHT BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM BEING MADE.

You try and pick a winner and you go round and round in circles. They are streets ahead of the pack, and they are on a collision course towards each other. The winner? Boxing fans. These two will bring out the best in each other, it's going to be one for the ages. I think it will dead set be the best fight I'll ever see, I think the styles mesh that well. We'll need the super slow mo for the highlights in this one, this fight will look like a blur!!


Good time to be alive gentlemen, good time to be alive

Pac vs Floyd is...


The finest defensive fighter of his generation against the best offensive fighter of his generation.

so true

I'm a big Pac fan and have been marveling at him for years now. I hate Mayweather and buy his PPVs to see him get KTFO which never happens... Sadly, I have to say Floyd outboxes Manny.

I would say that floyd is not only the best defensive fighter of his generation, but all time. You may be correct in Floyd outboxing Manny but not so fast. Floyd is going to have to stop boxing and fight at some point. Even if Manny is just hitting his shoulders or his side, it's still going to hurt and we all know first hand that Manny's punches don't stop coming, not even when he's hit by Cotto's bombs. And as good as Floyd is, his punches won't hurt nearly as much as Cottos did. Im interested to see how Floyd reacts when 1 or 2 of Manny's bombs land.

I hope his reaction is getting flattened but I don't see it happening.

I truly believe that Pac would lose his last 3 fights but he has me really believing that he can beat Floyd. He is a special fighter.

Note: We should hide this post. Pac fans will swarm it in the next 2 seconds.
