Re: Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!
Manny is going to steamroll him. Like with Mosley Floyd will get hurt early, but Manny won't gas immediately like Mosley did. If Maidana was landing at will, then Manny will do a lot more from that fast southpaw stance. Power in both hands too. Bye, bye Floyd. ;D

Floyd adapts and pot shots at will to make it 48-0-26.
Re: Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!
I just hope it's a good fight with no excess spoiling or referee assistance. May the best poser win.
Re: Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!
You couldn't pay me to watch it anymore! They are both washed up bums! Either Floyd will win a boring decision or die in the ring! I hope that happens, but really I don't care because it should have happened already. I think I'll just post on here all night but avoid any threads about that fight, cuz I just don't care at all. I'm going to watch some Earnie Shavers highlights at Bill Paxtoms house instead. Too little to late.

Can I come, where does Bill live. The guys a walking boxing encyclopedia, I'd love to pick his mind.
Re: Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!
I can't believe that you are a boxing fan if you aren't excited for this fight. Although it is a lot later than this should have happened, they are both top fighters in the world. So even if it's not for just the name sake, you should just be excited that two great fighters are fighting each other.
Anyways, Floyd wins easily.

I was with you until the last sentence
Re: Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!
I must admit I am quite excited about it all now. All that half decade preamble nonsense was really annoying, but finally we can debate and build up the fight properly without constantly having to say 'but there is still no fight'. There is a fight, it is on, and it better be bloody good. These two owe the boxing world a spectacle after all the girly antics. I am now a Pactard.

You should know better than that gandalf...I await your excuses on May the 2nd.
I think a lot of fans look at floyd and judge/hate him on his antics outside the ring rather than just compare both their skills in the ring and choose the better fighter.
Manchester United are a great football team but they aren't on that Barcelona level.
Time will tell. I am judging Floyd on his last few fights and he doesn't seem to have it. Manny isn't quite the same either, but his speed and output are still there and Floyd is going to have a tough time negating that all night long. If Maidana can take 5 and Cotto can take 5, then why not Manny who is much better than them? Pac is probably going to land over 200 punches on Floyd and I can't see Mayweather eating them all and staying upright. Plus Manny is so much quicker than anyone Floyd has been in with for years. Floyd can handle southpaws, Floyd can handle power, Floyd can handle speed, Floyd can handle output, but I don't think he can do it against a fighter who has all four of those things. The Maidana fights revealed a lot about Floyd, he is still smart and he can adapt, but he is old and slowing.
