Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[DeadLikeMe]

Lol turn on ESPN and watch how things about Pac/May are worded on the ticker. Lawsuits fly so freely (and frivolously) in boxing they really covered their ass with that blurb .

Anyone here think that these guys give us a trilogy? If they do then does anyone maybe see Pac taking the first and then Floyd the other two perhaps, a bit like Frazier and Ali's tally against each other?

I dunno, and I am not saying for certain that Pac wins if they fight May 2nd and I am not saying for certain Floyd would win 2 out of 3 vs Pac....Just a thought I had, throwing it out there see what people think a trilogy between these to would tally up like if it ever played out that way. Like who takes the first/who avenges/who takes the rubber match etc...Just theorising.

(Oh and for the people on here a little less clued up, i.e-fans of only May and Pac, I am not comparing them to Ali and Frazier either.)

time article says pac hasn't signed anything... Who ****ing knows!

If they are smart, they will milk this for all it's worth. Only way I see that happening is if PAC wins the first fight, which I believe he will. If Floyd does have a one-sided rematch clause and the fight ends in a close or disputed decision in favor of him, he probably would walk away and retire..again, depending on how much damage he takes.. if he doesn't take much damage then he might give a rematch...

As far as the possible trilogy I can see it going 2 ways:
1. PAC takes 1st fight, MAY takes 2nd, PAC wins rubber match.
2. PAC takes 1st fight, PAC destroys MAY in 2nd, the end.

Now that it looks like the fight is going to be made, any day now I expect to see posters start posting excuse threads such as "Mayweather waited until Pacquaio got old to fight himand Pacquaio has been in too many wars and that is what he lost to Mayweather.

or:

The ring will be too big. Mayweather will run.
Mayweather won't let Paquaio use his preferred brand of gloves.

What is more likely to happen in the fight?

Pacquiao to overwhelm and dominate Floyd with speed and flurries to a late TKO/wide decision or for Floyd to win a decision by his usual method of pot shotting and movement?

niether, Pacquiao is getting 100% stopped, mark it down.

There is no way floyd stops pac. That is just plain ******!

...

... and would he allow Pac to use his Cleto Reyes gloves? What's your opinion on this?

Interesting, thanks for the response man. I agree, if there is to be a trilogy then Pac must win the first, if he doesn't then May will walk away saying 'told you so', which would be pretty hard to argue with if he was to beat him decisively. If Floyd sc****s by/wins with controversy in a first match and then walks away he will be slated, there would have to be a rematch, but like I said I think Pac would have to win the first, anything after that for him would be hard seeing as May has an incredible knack for figuring out guys.
