Has the Floyd v. Manny fight lost its luster?

[Rantcatrat]

Do you still think it would be competitive? Manny has a good shot? I don't think so. If we didn't know before hand, we know now, a good counter puncher can beat Manny. Floyd's the best out there. I don't really see the point in this fight anymore unless Manny rematches Marquez and somehow dominates him, which won't happen.

It has lost a lot of it's lustre I know expect Floyd to win via shut out; before this i thought Pac May was even.

Yup.

Arum certainly thinks so. He already thinking a 4th match up. Which he's going to have to give JMM more then 5 mil. As oppose to him get 5 and Manny getting 20 mil.

So if they do rematch, who will Floyd fight in May?

The whole reason hes mentioned a 4th fight is he saw what we all already knew. Manny would get beaten from pillar to post by Mayweather and this is an easy money fight to make.

Wait a minute. You act like Marquez is an easy fight for Manny. You should now know that he isn't. Other than because of your hate for Manny, do you think there is a reason for that fight? Won't it surely end in Floyd dominating. I'd rather see another competitive fight with Marquez.

I never thought manny had much of a shot. Now it looks to me like he is fading as a fighter.

My guess remains Floyd handles him without much trouble.

What the fuck are you on about?

Marquez is an easy fight to make, not an easy fight to win. Pacquiao is losing his speed and its getting easier for Marquez every time. I have no real interest in any of Mannys fights. I like watching Marwuez because theres always skill on show. Same with Mayweather.

Pacqiuaos fights are tedious (other than Marquez) watching some weight drained or old faded name just being used to get people to buy pay per views rather than making challenging fits that are actually interesting.

We all know styles makes fights. And even more then that, one punch can end a fight. And with Manny's speed and punching power, the fight will still be interesting.
Saying that, Arum is not going to cash out so early. When Manny say he wants to retire, then the fight will be made against Mayweather. Until then, Pacman against Bradley or JMM will made first.
By the way, Bradley didn't look comfortable fighting a southpaw. Ya ya, I know Joel didn't come to fight, but I see Bradley being easy work for Pacman.
Any thoughts?

No IMO because even if Manny lost last night there is no doubt he is one of the best fighters around. The best should always fight the best. Even if Manny should of lost, he is still a modern day elite fighter and IMO he still deserves and the boxing world deserves to see a pacquaio - Mayweather showdown.

Is the outcome of the fight more predictable because of lasts night fight? Yes Manny showed that his style struggules with counter boxing fighting and with a fighter like Marquez who can keep his composure through 12 rounds got to manny. Would Floyd keep his composure for 12 rounds? No doubt what so ever he would and he would win a point decision against Manny.

Manny out of any fighter now would still IMO be Floyds biggest threat to losing his 0. So I hope the fight still happens, but I have no doubt Floyd would beat manny.
