and it's not gonna happen regardless of if Pacquiao wins tonight, this fight IMO isn't gonna do big PPV numbers, and i'm pretty damn sure Mayweather/Mosley will break a million buys, so due to that the fight wont happen because of money, and the original prob, cause Pacquiao is still gonna pussy out of the drug tests

See I think the fight is inevitable. In fact I'd be completely gob smacked if it hasn't been and gone by the end of 2010. I might be being naive as I want the best for boxing and IMO that would be the best thing that could happen for boxing, but if that is the case and I am just wishfull thinking, then the 2 biggest stars since ODLH have ruined the chance to boost boxing back to where it belongs.

IMO that's exactly what's gonna happen, Pacquiao will retire and Floyd will carry on fighting the Cotto/Foreman winner most likely

I'm afraid its not gonna happen. Pac will totally outclass him. End of discussion.

yea real deep post there buddy :rolleyes:

Even Pac prays for Clottey. He prays mainly for their safety. Oscar, Ricky, and Miguel could not attend the post fight conference. They all went straight to hospital. God didn't really entirely answer his prayer on those fights.

Not so much praying as thinking upsets are great for boxing.Anytime divas are brought down to earth we all benefit.I think Clottey has all the tools to do it but if he steps into the fire and initiates what it takes I'll eat my boots and do this guy >>:o<<

Pac will probably win. Clottey is a brawler like Hatton and Pac totally destroyed him. So deja vu.

Honestly, I've watched only one or two of his fights so I'm not going to hassle with you. But in those fights he definitely was a brawler.
Edit: But I've also heard his very defensive fighter so I don't know... I guess I should watch more of his fights then.

I can't believe I missed that post.

I don't get how anyone could argue the best fighters getting beaten is great for the sport. It simply isn't. As much as some people may dislike them right now the fact is that the sport is going through a resurgence on the back of two men, Manny Pacquiao & Floyd Mayweather. I'm a Clottey fan for some years, but I can recognize that a Pacquiao loss would be awful for the sport. A Mayweather loss would also be bad but not quite as bad because unlike Clottey, Mosley at least offers the promise of being a big fight.

But, nothing could be as big as Mayweather-Pacquiao. It has the potential to be the biggest fight since the Ali-Foreman. Yes, that big. If they fight it brings in so many new fans for the sport as well as immeasurable tv exposure. I can't see how anyone could see that as being anything but beneficial for the sport.

I guarantee you no one is doing more praying at this very moment than Floyd Mayweather, and he's praying that MANNY will win. Being that Clottey didn't enter into the blood test demands at all, if he were to somehow beat Pacquiao without having him being tested at all Floyd would be looking like the biggest dumbazz on the planet, being he likely could have done it and made roughly $45 million more than Clottey.

I'm not a religious man, but Jesus, if you are there...
Please let Manny get knocked the fook out in devastating fashion. :cool:

i guess jesus didnt hear you! :)
