    honestly , i think it'd be a close fight, but I'd still go with Mayweather. He's too big and skilled. but I wouldnt be money on this one . I've bet large amounts of cash on all of Mayweathers recent fights (on PBF) but this one is too close to call.

    It's a tough one. I can see it going both ways, but both fighters have this uncanny knack of surprising you. I think too many are dismissing Manny on the back of the Mosley fight though. He will be a lot better than what Mosley was. Mosley always had a few question marks about him with the layoff and age.

    Well for sure these will be the excuses when 1 of them loses.

    For Manny's supporters: Too small and jumping up too much in weight
    For Floyd's supporters: Too old and ring rust

    I'm sure these will be the excuses.

    Even if Pac is not ready the fight has to happen right away.

    If Floyd dominates Manny then so be it but this should not take another year or so.


    If Manny looks good againts tailor made opponents, How about Floyd?

    A 36 yr old career featherweight and a 40 yr old 1 and a half year off from his last fight veteran. That is less impressive than Cotto and Clottey IMO.


    I agree Floyd must be favored here but PAC is more dangerous when he is the underdog.

    Mosley was 38, not 40 and he hasn't had a fight in 15 1/2 months not 18 months. There I just refuted it, now what do I get?

    No one has ever had to make excuses for Floyd yet.

    if he gets beat, he gets beat. No excuses needed.

    it's the others who always need excuses against Floyd.

    But if Mayweather and Pac get in the ring together within the next year, neither of them should look for any excuses. One of them will lose, because the other will win. Pure and simple.

    Of course, if Manny loses to Floyd, Miles will surely be looking for some kind of excuse. But most of the boxing world will simply recognize that Floyd's a better boxer.

    i don't know who will win that fight; I haven't seen Manny in the ring nearly as much as i've seen Floyd, so I don't have a feel for him. I hope he brings Floyd his greatest challenge yet, because if he does, we'll see an incredible fight. we don't know how good Floyd can be. The better his opponent, the closer we come to finding that out.

    If Manny brings out the very best in Floyd and still beats him ... well, then, that will be amazing and should qualify for one of the fights of the decade, if not the fight.

    That's the kind of fight I want to see Floyd lose - where he was pressed to fight his best - which will be dazzling - and still unable to produce a victory.

    Ring rust? Floyd? Is that why he did such a mediocre job against Mosely?

    I don't think there will be room for any excuses in this one. Both fighters are in their early 30's and looking strong in all of their recent fights. I will most likely just accept that the better man won.

    If you are looking at the Mayweather/Mosley fight and think I am only making excuses, I expressed the same concerns before the fight as I did after. Mosley was old and extremely inactive. Those are the facts. Mayweather fans might not want to hear that as they bask in their glory, but I will always tell it how I see it.

    Manny/Floyd is a pick 'em for me, but I prefer the style of Manny so will be cheering him on (if he takes the blood tests). But seeing as I am not a known supporter of either fighter I will be able to sit back somewhat and just enjoy the fight for what it is.

    Thats true, ppl have been on Floyd on the front and on the back after the Mosley fight.
