I think we are all priveliged to be witnessing 2 of the very best of all time!!

The last time two of the top P4P fighters fought eachother, was in 1993 JCC vs Pernell Whitaker. I've been saying for awhile this is more Manny Pacquiao's natural weight, he was only a teenager fighting at the lower weight classes.

Infact Floyd Mayweather Jr isn't that much naturally bigger than Manny Pacquiao, remember Floyd Mayweather as a teenager was a Featherweight in the Amateur, plus he couldn't make the Jr Middleweight limit when he fought ODLH.

To be honest Manny Pacquiao has looked unreal lately, but im not going to jump on the bandwagon too much. Even though Manny Pacquiao is an ATG lets not forget the improved Manny Pacquiao, had all he could handle vs JMM. And i still think Floyd Mayweather Jr is a bad style match up for him.

i agree with icb on mayweather being a bad style matchup for manny, when cotto boxed on the back foot last night, and countered manny i thought he had alot of success, and with mayweathers style of fighting the best in the business as a backfoot counter puncher, i think he gives manny fits. i love manny, he is the way better offensive fighter than mayweather, but goin on a style basis i think mayweather wins

Great post Big H. I couldn't agree with you more. You can argue for either fighter on a best ever basis. Floyd could be the best defensive fighter ever and Manny could be the best offensive fighter ever.

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather will be the biggest and most significant fight in boxing history IMO.

I completely agree with H's post. Say what you like & try nitpick their records, but both of these guys are far & away the best of the past 25 years imo since the days of Leonards, Duran, Hagler & Hearns. I don't think Jones did enough for me to be on the level that these two are now on, not that he didn't have the talent.

Thinking about it, both are probably just within my Top 15 of all time right now, & whilst the winner would rise, the loser wouldn't drop because they're both just so good. Both have a good number of future hall of famers on their resume's. JMM & ODLH on both, Morales, MAB & Cotto for Pacquiao, with Corrales, Castillo & Genaro Hernandez for PBF & then you take into account possible HoFers like Gatti, Hatton & Sasakul. Say what you want, but those are better than pretty much anyone else currently out there. I think this outdoes even the Whitaker-Chavez fight because as much as I love Sweet Pea, I think these two are greater. This will be the defining fight for this generation & I can't wait.
