Wow mayweather just cut ties with gbp to duck manny . Wow.

Even you don't believe that dumb ****.

I truly believe it.

[smoothsmg]

well IMHO this fight could happen still and really why should I or anyone stop wanting to see this fight made?

I think Pac has more possible fights to fight in a limited time span, Floyd time is also limited but he has also fewer fights that can be considered as a challenge instead of a cherry pick, I just want the best possible fights that both fighters can make to close their careers...

outside a pacquiao fight, winner of cotto-martinez and probably a maidana rematch are good option for floyd...

No fighter in the history of the sport will ever receive the ridicule that Floyd receives for fighting top 1,2, and 3 fighters in the division, as well as champions. I mean people put Floyd down for fighting the lineal champion who had not lost in almost 10 years. At first he was ducking the guy, then when Floyd beats him, the lineal champion ****** and was a cherry pick.

Off topic, but what Floyd fights could I watch to see his inside game? I know Hatton is one.

I would like to see how this fight plays out now. Since his VADA testing stance, Manny has looked a lot more human these days.

Not so easy to walk through people without your EPO, insulin, and growth hormone, eh Manny?

Manny has been forced to become much more of a boxer of late, and he isn't going to win a boxing match against Floyd, that's for damn sure.

Mayweather by decision

Mayweather wouldn't *** around in a fight with pacqiuo. Boxing exhibition. Much like the Marquez fight but a little more even. Pacqiuo enters the ring drug free.
1st to 3rd round: Mayweather uses his legs and does not trade. pacqiuo more aggressive and takes 2-3 rounds as mayweather is too tight and very defensive with the crowd booing at times.
4th to 6th round: mayweather lets his hands go a little more. Mayweather jabs the body at times. Pacqiuo lands some clean shots intermittently. Mayweather misses with check hook as he tries to time pacqiou rushes. Mayweather takes 2-3 rounds. Fight all even on judges score card.
7th to 9th round: mayweather finding it easier to hit Paqiou with power shots. Laser right hand leads. Mayweather and pacquio back each other up at times. Mayweather willing to stay in the pocket at times. Pacqiou wins less and less exchanges. Pacqiuo game and active but a little give shows up. Pacqiuo needs a big moment to regain the momentum. Mayweather takes 2-3 rounds.
10th to 12th round: maywether is boxing beautifully. Paqiou is running out of steam. Mayweather uses superior length and boxing fundamentals to out point pacqiuo with safety. Mixing power at times with boxing at times . Pacqiuo, sensing the need for a knock out, puts everything he has into the 12th round and wins it most judges score cards. Mayweather takes 10th and 11th and loses 12th.
One bad score card goes to Pacqiou 117-115. Two plausible score cards go to mayweather 118-114 and 117-115. Mayweather haters claim he lost. The best ever debates begin.

Fighters that could have beat floyd at 147

Possible winners over floyd in his era
1) Paul Williams (freak chin and length and stamina at 147, may be able to walk through mayweather)
2) Vernon forest (when he's healthy)
3) paquio (when he's on steroids)
4) margarito (with the stones in his gloves)

Fraud mayfeather just won't fight him!!!

If they fought in their primes, Mayweather would start walking Pac down with a high guard by the 3rd round... and smooth sailing from there, coast to a 117-111 UD.

If they fought today, Floyd stops him in 10.
