    Probably a good spot to mention here how good a job Wlad's team have done promoting the Leapai fight over here in Australia too. Whatever ppl may say about the opponent, Wlad has called it how it was, a long shot, by labelling him the real Rocky, but at the same time paying the man a massive compliment and treating his opponent with respect.

    In that wisdom which the news has broadcast everywhere, now a whole country look up to the man like a great champion and want to see the fairytale outcome of the fight. And if it doesn't come, they'll still remember the opportunity he gave with respect.

    Pretty smartly played! That is class!

    Floyd is the opposite, he always disrespects other boxers.

    This week, he said Bradley and Pacquiao fought like "amateurs". But I enjoyed watching that fight more than any Floyd Mayweather fight.

    Yeah I don't think Floyd had to say that about Pac and Bradlee. He might have had a point regarding the observed skills in their fight but I agree I'd much rather watch their fight than any of Floyd's.

    It was a loose way of saying that he doesn't need to fight Pac cause he'd beat him easy and the Arum comment to go along with the popular notion that they are prevented from fighting even though it's obvious Floyd is the one preventing it and ironically is fighting an even weaker opponent than either Pa or Bradlee.

    I hated his whole "I'll let you choose who I face" BS but only Khan and Maidana were options, not Pac, pathetic!

    If they're such bad opponents Pac and Tim, then why not fight them

    Funny how guys now base Wlad's entire career in the ring on just the Povetkin display, as if he cheats his way through all of his fights lol

    That's why the brothers went back to Germany in the first place wasn't it? To AVOID corrupt decisions in their fights. Surely it works both ways but come on, as if US refs are so fair and Euro ones are so not!

    Both are bad representatives of the sport. Floyd's style doesn't appeal to the casual observers and his character is rubbish... Civilized people can not relate to Floyd Mayweather..

    Wlad one the other hand is a perfect gentleman but he doesn't have the charm nor the style to get people excited..

    Manny Pacquiao is the perfect representative of our sport..

    Will Floyd "turn it up" and KO Maidana like Wlad KOed Leapai?

    Or will Floyd just run out the clock for another decision win?
