Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Emon723]

I'm changing my pick each day on who's gonna come out on top, my belief now is Mayweather, who normally lose the early rounds, will dictate the tempo in the first four rounds, there would be some concerns for the Pac fans, in the middle rounds, Manny will have some success on Floyd like no other boxer has done before, the last 3 rounds will decide the outcome.

70% of my mind thinks Mayweather will pull this one, I do want to see him suffer his first defeat through, but I just had this feeling that at midnight of May 2nd, he will raise his record to 48-0.

You are like the only non biased pac fan on here. I can see a scenario were pac wins even though i'm pulling for Floyd. Manny would have to use a lot of feints, a lot of head movement, and rip Mayweather every time Floyd goes to the ropes. Problem is I don't see Manny having the energy to do that every minute of every round while Floyd conserves his energy and begins timing him.

I will have my Pac man shirt on rooting for him to win this fight, but the more I think about this fight the more I think Floyd wins pretty easily.

I just think Floyd is going to constantly be on the move, and everytime Pac runs forward with a 1-2 he will be met with a counter right. He is not awkward like Maidana. He can't cut The ring off like Cotto, and he's not long like Oscar.

The only way I can see Pac winning is by smiling at Floyd punches and cutting off the ring better than he has ever been.

why the hell bayless steps in between?

Maybe because it was right when the bell rang?

1. Memo makes undetectable drugs that the drug testers can't detect. Those it make the drugs legal in some way?

Floyd sr doesn't strike me as a guy that would accept responsibitly when things go wrong..

Yeah cause head movement was gonna be the key vs manny... Hatton had to suffocate manny and wrestle him to have any chance.. Head movement is nice, but that's not hattons game or athletic level.. All hatton did was concentrate in stuff he wasn't use to doing and froze up and got beat down, instead of doing the things that brought him success.. Namely getting into ugly rough fights with a lot of inside fighting...

Hatton tried to suffocate him that's what got him destroyed. How are you supposed to wrestle a guy who's just going to take a step back and tee off on you like Pacquaio does? That's why he's successful against aggressive fighters.

He clearly came out exactly like he always does.

Yeah,,, look for the crazy ending to sell the rematch, and eventual trilogy in Macau

I have serious doubts, but I hope it'll be a great fight (less doubtful) with fair scoring if it goes the distance (more doubtful). You know what would also generate a lot of interest in a rematch? Floyd's first recognized 'L'. The sport doesn't need another controversy, it needs a mega-fight that is awesome. The only outcome that quashes further interest is a legit, well scored, and probably boring, Manny 'L'.

I know my boxing. It simply cannot be denied.
To me, it's common sense

Dude get off it... It can be denied and you shouldn't base wether or not you know your **** or don't on this one fight. One of these guys getting beat handidly (10-2,9-3) is a realistic scenario, Mayweather dominating Manny is obviously the more realistic of the two but whatever.
So if that were to happen you don't know your boxing? It's foolish to even say that.

People thought the same when a selct few were saying rigo would school Donaire and the majority were saying they were fanboys and "even if Donaire somehow lost Rigo would have to walk through hell" ... We know how that turned out

Half a billion dollars in revenue is just ****ing insane.
