Pacquiao? Sorry, I don't see him beating Floyd. He'll make Floyd fight, to be sure. But Floyd's skills should prevail. After that... a retirement party for Floyd (he'll plan it himself) celebrating his undefeated status and his joining an elite fraternity. Mark my words. He will NOT venture above 147 and risk his first loss. Why should he? Even the most avid Mayweather fan knows that Floyd isn't exactly the biggest risk-taker in boxing.


So, (sigh)... there goes the last great hope to dethrone Floyd.
No. Don't agree here at all. First off, Mosley was beaten by both Winky Wright twice, Vernon Forrest --R.I.P.-- twice, and Cotto. Mosley is a great fighter. There's no doubt about that. I just don't think he's a phenom by any stretch of the imagination.

That said, I think I agree with the Pacquiao pick. However, he throws punches from angles that I've never seen a puncher throw punches from. And all of those punches have very bad intentions.

I think Mayweather is so adamant about the testing because he knows that's the toughest fight out there for him. And I don't think Floyd is making ridiculous demands, -- well, at least not with the testing -- as I think such testing should be adopted across the board in this sport.

I.M.H.O., I think that fight is going to be the most competitive fight Mayweather has ever had; that is, if the fight ever materializes.

I make no secret about it, I don't like Floyd much. But he may be the best boxer to ever strap on a pair of gloves. He's definitely up there with the best at minimum.

If you think floyd is the best ever you have not been watching boxing for very long...
