Floyd Camp hints Pacman Clash on May 5, 2012

[InTheNeutralCorner]

This was posted to ESPN last night as well. The Pacman fight will be competitive for about 5-6 rounds. I see it going to a one sided fight after that. It will be interesting to see if JMM can stay on his feet the whole time though. Something he hasn't been able to do against Manny yet.

Or Mayweather and Katsidis.

Out of Marquez and Pacquiao, it will be Pacquiao whos age will effect him more because he doesnt have the skills that can carry Marquez amongst the sports best at 38. If he suddenly slows down a little, Marquez WILL take advantage. Look at his last few opponents, none of them have the skill to counter speed, so we wouldnt have seen the evidence of him slowing down if he has. He may just get a shock suddenly up against a man who has an answer for everything he does and doesnt just want to touch gloves all night, or put up the ear muff defence or be a walking punch bag.

Does this mean that you'll give Pacquiao credit after he beats Marquez?

Why wouldnt I?

Are you a pinoy because that sounds like the shite they come out with. As if everyones against the Phillipines if someone so much as criticises a boxer! Iv pointed out that Mannys last few opponents were there to be hit and arent known for their boxing skill.

I'm just curious as to how you stand based on your comment above and your answer appears consistent with your comment. Because there are probably those who would give JMM a chance but would not give Manny credit no matter how he wins the fight. For those who thinks that JMM has no chance at all of winning, then it is understandable for them not to give the Pacman any credit.

My opinion is that JMM has a chance in this fight no matter how slim it may be. This is boxing and anything can happen.

With regards to the topic of this thread, I believe that's just a publicity ploy by Floyd. In the unlikely event of a Pacquiao loss, nobody can say that Mayweather avoided him because he already HINTED on the fight prior to the loss. But Floyd already hinted on their fight in his press conference for the Ortiz fight just to deny it some time later (both caught on video). Both of them signing a contract is not even a guarantee that they will fight. I would only believe that when both of them steps in the ring.
