Chances of fight being a letdown?

What are the chances of Floyd-Manny being a letdown and boring?

[Primo Carnera]

Depends what you're expecting, but I think loads of people will be disappointed because they'll expect more action.
Personally , I'm looking forward to the tactical chess match and I think Floyd will impose his style on the fight eventually like he always does. It's not for everyone, but there you go.

By letdown do you mean a shutout / stinker of a fight?

According to Hopkins, the first few rounds are likely to be the best rounds in terms of action (people getting their money's worth), while Floyd adjusts as is usual in him.

I might add that a knockdown or two in the first half would be great but it's hard to imagine a shutout. Nah, it won't be a letdown.

Let's face it, there's almost NO way the fight will live up to 5-6 years of anticipation.

50% someone is gonna take a dive

Chances are high, because I think it will be far less competitive than what people think.

Mayweather without question.

What are the chances of Floyd-Manny being a letdown and boring?

I'm not even thinking about that kind of BS, I'm confident this is going to be a great fight, that both of these, all or nothing, warriors are going to produce a fight that will be remembered forever, hallelujah!
I'm confident both these elite fighters are poised to earn every penny of their pay checks. My only wish is that both these warriors come out of, what's going to an epic battle, with their pride and health intact. Amen, y'all!
Think positive, if it's possible!

Mayweather without question.

Hard to see Mayweather win and the fight being exciting really. I cant even see Manny really hurting or shaking Floyd, its not like hes the biggest puncher Floyds fought.

I think that boxing fans will enjoy it and no doubt will get to see a good tactical chess match (for what its worth I think that Manny will start off strong and by the end of the 3rd or 4th round Mayweather will have sussed him out and will win on points)

The casual fan is a different matter altogether, they are going to be expecting bombs to be thrown with blood and snot flying around the ring for the entire fight, I actually asked a kid that I work with who he thought was going to win and he said Manny, I asked him what other fights he had seen him or Floyd in and he said he had never watched them before. Don't ask me how you can form an opinion on who is going to win if you have never seen either of them but that's what this fight has done, its peaked the interest of absolutely everyone.

Knee Jerk reaction is 3/2 chance of the fight being boring. I think for it to be boring fight, Floyd would have to dominate and stay on the outside. I don't think Floyd has the legs to do that with a fighter that has the quick feet Manny has. The other thing that Floyd can do to make this a boring fight is a lot of holding.

Agree with all of that.

Most people watching wont know what they are watching and will expect something Rocky-esque.
