Looks like the Marquez performance has given Floyd extra pep in his step! Good to see a proper call out with a set date for this fight
It's time
Floyd been telling brian kenny years ago that marquez beat pac before.
Better boxer always wins.
A side meth, weed, ecstasy, cocaine..nothing will save pac come the 5th of may.
Yet again i must say i respect manny and think he is a great fighter but at some point in 2012 it will come to an end.
Like marquez but worse.
Hopefully the fight does happen now after what Ariza has said and now Mayweather saying he's ready to sign must put pressure on Arum to let the fight happen. It seem logical to make the mayweather fight and not marquez. If pac loses to mayweather the marquez fight is still available but if he fights marquez and loses then the mayweather payday is gone.
It really seems like Arum wants no part of Mayweather. He's just trying to monopolize Pacquiao's opponents and keep all the money in house.
Theres nowhere to hide.
Get the drug issue sorted and lets do it.
After manny gets beat i would love to see a khan vs pac fight.
I really hope this fight comes off. Can't wait for this whole debacle to be put to bed. If they are the number one and two in the division its like Usain Bolt refusing to race against Tyson gay at the olympics. Almost Lace-Em Up time.......
I won't get excited until the contacts are officially signed
Knew floyd would be keen after Pacs last fight.... still think Pac sparks him cold :)
I said that before the Pacquiao-Marquez 3 fight, that if it's close it will bring us closer to the much awaited Pacquiao-Mayweather megafight.
I wish I have the confidence of you two but it went out the window after Pac's last fight. I will still be routing for him and prefers him in that position .... that of a huge underdog, for a victory will be much sweeter.
C'mon man. Don't buy into that "floyd is bigger, faster, smarter version of Marquez" bullshit.
Style still make fights. Floyd never have the heart and courage of Marquez. Marquez is way way more impressive fighting leftys than Floyd does. And let's not forget, Floyd still has those brittle hands, and he will hesitate to engage with Pac. And once that happen, Manny will capitalize with his relentless attacks.
Who knows? It might be one of those myths that may be included in here .............

I don't believe he was waiting for a third loss, I've been believing for the past 2 years that mayweather was waiting for 5th of may/cinco de Mayo because he knows that would be the biggest day in any year to make a fight just like vs de la Hoya. Cinco de mayo on a Saturday =$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for the best or the most wanted boxing matches
Either way mayweather had called him out before the Marquez fight and I'm pretty sure he didn't think Marquez stood a chance. But even then who knows maybe paquiao held back Vs Marquez to make mayweather confident..... Just saying, I mean fighters do think lol
mayweather will make pac look foolish.
Im for Pac this time... :) Floyd is bigger man, means hittable, Pac too lax at Welters, he has to be relentless/aggressive not tactical then he will lose for sure. :lickish:
watching local news, pac said he wants the fight against pbf.
Will Floyd try and pot shot PAC all night? Will he be man enought to engage? Will he lay on the ropes and try to shoulder roll all night. What if PAC decides to go to the body all night to bring that head down? Floyd Has the tools to win. PAC has the tools to win also. We know PAC has a chin and can take multiple shots. We also know that Floyd doesn't get hit clean often but when he does he stumbles and holds on for dear life or he smiles like it don't hurt. What happens if PAC is able to hit Floyd all night?
Mayweather doesnt have problems with southpaws he dont have problems full stop in the ring hes owns who ever he fights
