Mayweather vs. Manny : Kicking Over the Soapbox!_international_·¬Ø®Íø

Couldnt have said it better myself.

Mayweather gets so much stick from so many quarters, I reckon he'd have to beat Pacman, Klitschko and the winner of the SMW super-6 tournament all in one night to get some of the respect he deserves.

I'd love to see him go in against Pacquiao, it'd be the two best boxers going head-to-head, and whatever weight it's at both men will be fighting for the p4p greatest of their generation in my opinion.

[Hoggmeister]

Yeah it would be a fantastic match up, and to be honest, im confident it will happen.

And that's the only reason why the fight would be worthwhile because we already know who will win. Manny beating Floyd would be the shock of the century.

Id comment on the article, but a few of us have been saying the same thing for a couple of days.. Apparently it is now treason around here to put up those same points to a detractor

Quit being so melodramatic JT, I'll list the man's plus points if you won't. Statistically, he is without compare in the modern boxing game. Five weight world champion, his opponents have had better records than the opponents of other fighters in the p4p list, has hardly been in any bouts that weren't title fights or eliminators in the past 10 years. (JMM, a welterweight debut against Sharmba Mitchell to settle into the weight, and Emmanuel Augustus). In every career there will be one or two potential fights which slip by, or don't get made and Mayweather's no different than anyone else in this respect.

Fact is, there's not really the competition of the standard and star-quality of Pacquiao out there for Mayweather to score the huge money, so that's why this one will get made.

I give manny the same chance i give the rest of them...pretty much none, in a back and forth slugfest it might be a little entertaining but that would never happen and sadly manny would have just as much trouble hitting floyd as juan did, then mix in the lunging and what not, a bunch of hype and 24/7's later floyd outboxes him just as easy.

No no no my friend. Manny Pacquiao brings something to the table that Marquez could not and thats greasy fast speed (easily compared to Mayweathers)! Pacquiao is much harder to hit than Marquez and he doesnt get knocked down like Marquez, so exactly where do you pull this Mayweather easily beating Pacquiao scenario from, your butt? Did I mention Pacquiao's knockout power?

[SmeelMainly]

I'm a Pac fan, but I have to give the edge to PBF. The reason, just like Mar said, is that there's no way PBF will let this become a slugfest. PBF won't trade with him, he won't trade with anybody. I think Pac has great boxing skills, but PBF is probably one of the best of all time in terms of pure boxing skills. If he decides to knuckle up, it's a different story, but we all know that won't happen.

This is true, but that alone isn't enough to beat Mayweather. But to be 100% fair, there is nobody who can match up with Mayweather.

You'll either have him against a bigger guy who he'll be faster than.

Or you'll have him against a smaller/faster guy who he'll be bigger than.

Speed & pop alone are not going to beat Mayweather. His skill is simply too much for anyone at this moment.

But I agree that this is probably the best fight that can be made (only rivaled by Mosley/Mayweather) right now. Pacquiao is at the best that he's going to be and so is Mayweather.

I'm glad that Cotto isn't getting any heat for fighting a smaller guy, so when Mayweather fights Pacquiao he won't get any heat either. (Of course I know thats not true. Haters gonna hate)

[spade]

Lets get this straight


If Pac has no chance of beating PBF, then who should PBF fight?

If Cotto destroy Pac, then he has no business fighting PBF

What if Pac annihilates Cotto like what happen to the Great Hatton?

Will we give him the benefit of the doubt?

out of all the fighters out there, Pacquiao has the best chance to beat Floyd.

Yea, Paul Williams has no chance.....

I may agree that from what the eye see's Pac is faster than Mayweather.. But effective speed? No... Mayweather is hands down the best defensive fighter in the business today.. Because of his speed AND skill of not getting hit.. You look at Pac's speed against DLH and it almost seems like, who the hell could see or stop those punches hitting them.... But go and watch a few mayweather fights and you see, it doesn't matter how fast or what someone is trying to do, Mayweather is unhittable.. And when you do catch him, it's usually on the gloves, or he's moving away from the punch so it's taking a tonne of sting off it...

I agree Pac if fast, but to beat Mayweather I beleive you need to be a big solid brute... Hatton had the perfect recipe, just he needed to be bigger and stronger and better head movement... Speed doesn't beat Mayweather, Boxing doesn't beat Mayweather.. Knockout power doesn't beat Mayweather...

Pac would just be bringing another style of boxing/fighting/attributes that Mayweather will make look redundent..

Back when I wanted to see Mayweather go down every fight, I would analyze his opponent and find SOME reason why they have a better shot at beating him than the last guy. Every time i'd find one new attribute that Floyd hasn't faced before.i
And without fail Mayweather would show that I was a fool for even thinking that attribute would make any difference.
Then the next guy comes along and logically there is reason to think they'll do better...

I maintain Hatton had the Style and aggressiveness to beat Floyd, but just wasn't complete or strong enough in enough other area's to win through the 12 rounds... To beat Floyd you need to get ugly...


I'd love to see Pac beat Floyd in a dazzling display of superiour speed, timing, and power,,,,, but you go back and watch all Mayweathers previous fights and see how stupid of an image that is... And if Pac isn't going to beat him that way, how will he beat him??


I know exactly where Mar is coming from on this one..

[Nameless]

If Luis Jose Castillo did beat Mayweather once (and got robbed), Pacman has some chances... if he throws combos like never before and go with relentless aggression, he has his chances... not saying he'll make it, but he has his chances. My big question tough is: at which weight will they fight? That will be a huge part of the deal.
