Mayweather v Pacquiao: boxing's richest cakewalk

[Greig]

Let’s hope Pacquiao can turn the clock back and make it at least a little interesting, or Mayweather will enjoy the richest cakewalk in boxing history. bit.ly/1AqCspU

There's more chance of Sergio Martinez winning a heavyweight title than there is manny winning this fight.

It will be fun for four rounds but then it will be very boring for the majority after floyd potshots.

There is a slim chance that corrupt former lawyer bob arum could bribe the judges again but with a rematch in the works he might not need to.

Khan will be have to keep winning and looking good to force mayweather from retiring and keep pressure from the public.

Khan would give mayweather the most problems at this stage but manny will make it competitive in the early stages but flashbacks from that horrendous ko from marquez will keep him from throwing to many combinations that lead to nothing.

Good luck manny and Freddie roach but the only way you could probably win is via corrupt judges, peds or floyd suddenly getting old in the ring..with floyds work ethic and ability to step his game up with better opponents it will only go one way.

Yes imp, sad but true. Manny's best chance was when he was going through everybody about seven years ago.

Floyd knew this, which is why we've had to wait six years for the fight.

So is it really happening?

Apparently it's done - just waiting on Floyd to announce.

[Fenster]

Pac isn't in his electric pomp but has he really slipped that far that he's got no chance against Floyd?

Since the KO loss he's thrashed Brandon Rios 12-0 - a guy that's never been stopped/is hard as nails. Beat Bradley, an elite level fighter, with ease and blasted Algieri to the deck a thousand times on his way to another whitewash.

It's hardly bad form.

Floyd has just had two physically demanding fights. He finished the 2nd one looking and sounding knackered. Arguably Pac will be the best fighter Floyd has ever faced.

I think 6 years ago floyd was a better fighter as well so it doesn't make any difference.

I understand what your saying but the manny 6 years ago still had marquez problems.

Give manny a past it ricky hatton type fighter everytime he will always produce knockouts and crowd friendly displays but give him a marquez or morales or smart boxer he will always struggle.

We cant deny manny was a better fighter 6 years ago but I think the same can be said for every fighter..even Hopkins!

It's also hardly good form let's be honest rios and Algieri are pretty low level fighters, pacman is an elite fighter he should of handled them the way he did.

[Beanflicker]

It might be. Personally, I never saw Pacquiao beating Mayweather, especially now that he has seemingly lost his punching power (which is very suspicious).

Pac's a tough match up for anyone because of his technique, speed and power, but we saw him outboxed by Morales, we saw him outboxed by JMM, so I never saw how Mayweather would be any different.

Well I think it proves good form. He easily beat two fighters that he was expected to beat. 12-0. 12-0. If he struggled in anyway then you could say it wasn't very impressive. Seems like Pac gets downgraded when he doesn't score the KO, which is a bit odd when comparing him with Floyd.

(personally I wouldn't regard them as "low level" fighters, only "elite" fighters will wipe the floor with that level of opposition)

[Master]

Floyd will fight his best fight and be flawless against Pac Man like he did with Saul Alvarez.

Damn straight. Now that this thing is apparently signed and a 3 fight deal this default notion that somehow Manny has slid to far while ignoring how Floyd has looked against a one dimensional sloth is hilarious and steeped in denial.

He gets downgraded because KOing guys is what he did well. Pac was billed as an ultra aggressive, 2 handed knockout machine. When a guy is no longer able to do what brought him to greatness, people are naturally going to assume he's slipping.

What else are people left to think when the supposed most dangerous man in boxing hasn't stopped a guy in 6 years? When a guy who iced the likes of Miguel Cotto, Hatton, De La Hoya, Barrera, ect is going the distance with Rios and Algeiri?

Spot on master class.

Floyd will do and fight exactly like JMM did.
