MAYWEATHER vs PACQUIAO

[karamazov80]

I can see Floyd going after the ear Tyson-style if it looks like he's gonna lose

 

[urascal]

I'll believe this fight is happening when I see Mayweather on the mat looking up at Manny. Until then Mayweather will continue to hide and avoid this fight.

 

[BadMoon]

I personally dislike both of these cats and would love to see a double KO.

 

[IronLungs31]

Wonder if Manny will throw his customary concert if he loses?

Haha I was thinking the same thing, but instead of biting he's gonna headbutt

 

[Centurion]

I just hope this fight happens before both are out of their prime.
It can be argued that they already are.

 

[matt85]

This fight should have been 5 years ago

 

[matt85]

And possibly even had another 2 by now

Manny was no where near the fighter 5 years ago as he is today.
Mayweather is fighting again in may, think its the 5th, and hopes its against Manny. Also rumours of a winner takes all purse which would be awesome. This fight might just happen.

What if Mayweather will watch the fight @ MGM this Saturday? Do you think the fight will happen next year?

Agreed.
He's developed more strength since then.
Also has much better footwork and bobs more.
However, I'm not too sure that he's quicker than he was 5 years ago.

This I can agree with. Manny's last few fights left me with the impression that he has slowed down his attacks a bit.

Well he was carrying an injury in the clottey fight. He looked very fast against cotto and margarito. Maybe puffing a bit against magarito but when you consider the size difference and maybe the added power to his punches against someone much bigger, you could understand why.Also the knock out punch against hatton when hattons punch was half in swing and hatton had already been chinned and was knocked out with his punch still in motion. Awesome speed.
I was surprised and encouraged that the mayweather camp has come out with a fight date with an unnamed oppenent right on top of Manny's fight although im not sure mayweather has said it himself.

I very much doubt Mayweather will be at the mgm grand and he will probably say he is playing chess or cutting the grass but he will be watching.

He has always been gifted with speed but freddy has added more of it with power and more importantly accuracy.
The combination of Mannys talent and freddy's know how make them a pretty deadly combination.

This.

He's a talker...no doubts about that.

And the Mayweather camp stating they will fight some unnamed fighter next year is a pretty lame marketing stunt. I mean, who here got excited from that bit of news.

 

[ebor]

Speed and reflexes are always the first to go on a boxer (unless the chin has been tested with failing results). Mayweather losing some of his speed/legs and reflexes will def. lose to Pac., even if Pac. has similar degradation of his.

This fight, however, poses an interesting question, who has had the tougher career body-wise. I would argue Pac. has had more wear and tear. MW has had longer lay-offs, so can he maintain his mental/physical acumen?

If both go in the fight today I give MW the edge, based on past fights, styles and overall wear and tear. But this fight isn't made so who the frak knows.

Get it made and lets find out...that is if Pac gets by Marquez

 

[darkknight]

I predict Pacman wins with a KO by the 4th!

 

[ebor]

I watched this on live-stream, and Marquez was ROBBED! of the decision win.

HBO would have been out mucho $$ with Marquez winning so the judges were enticed so to speak, to give the fight to Pac.

Mayweather would have scalped PAC tonight.

Oh-well now Mayweather Pac should be a sure thing!

...along with Mayweather being crowned P-4-P!
