Screwed themselves out of lots of ppv money by not sorting this before the super bowl and all star weekend to hype it up for the casuals. Still going to be the biggest fight ever, can't wait.

It sucks that I'm going to be working a lot of hours the weekend of the fight. I'll probably have to be up at 4am the following Sunday morning. But I don't give a **** I'm going to tip a few and watch that damn fight.

Manny world class attributes are his short quick punch, his timing and his accuracy. Accuracy, I find, is the MOST underrated skill in boxing (The reason Joe Louis made 25 defenses) Manny also packs enough power to hurt a man but its his ability to place it on the button that makes this an incredible fight. Manny, even if he loses badly, WILL get to Floyd at least once, so we shall finally see if mayweather is the great champion he claims to be. Manny has given many electrifying performances in the ring and has proven himself as a great prizefighter. He has been in many all out wars, and can also box handily. He has been lineal champion at many divisions.
Mayweather is an incredible tactician whose world class skills are defense, movement, and counterpunching. He has a fair amount of accuracy himself. Like Wlad Klitschko, he is the long time and great champion who is just getting to his best before date. Most fans I know are starting to want to see him lose. The way to beat a defense first fighter is to have enough accuracy to hit him, and enough power that he stays hurt when you finally do. Manny Paquaio is the only man in the last however long that could possibly fit this bill. Floyd doesn't have real power so obviously his path to victory is weathering whatever storm there is and outpointing Manny. He should be able to outpoint manny easily, but doubt if he could put him away. if he wins or loses he will still be considered an all time great.
What a fight. Obviously the whole world cant wait to see it. Finally a fight worthy of a world championship. This is the greatest sport on earth. How is it possible it has lost market share to a more realistic version of the WWF?? Its about GD time that they started making some decent fights instead of running themselves all out of business.
