Would you guys give props to Pacquiao and say he was the better man? I'm noticing a lot of Floyd's fans are making a lot of mention of Pac's "steroid" or Performance enhancements labeling him a cheater. Does this affect the outcome of the fight already?
What if it were a one-sided affair for Pacquiao?
...and for the record, I'm not picking a winner for this fight.

That makes no sense at all and is an example of what I was talking about. If Pacquiao is greater how is Mayweather the bigger resume boost?
agreed.
it's either one or the other.
either pac's greater, and he's a bigger boost to a resume, OR
floyd's greater, and he's a bigger boost.
i do think, what dude meant by his comments, was that taking floyd's "0" would be a bigger boost....
Floyd is expected to beat everybody, people can slag off Floyd but beating Floyd is the biggest resume boost/Win in Boxing
Pacquiao isn't held to the same standards ( Even though he's greater ), its harder for Floyd to get credit

it'd be a horrible few days....i might even take that following monday off work... :D
but i wouldn't make excuses. i'd say the better man won, and congratulate pac and those who root for him....even the ones who talk big shit.
Prediction - Mayweather vs Pacquiao ends up like PBF vs JMM - UD PBF
The only chance Pacquiao has is a punchers chance IMO. I am not a fanboy of PBF but his skills are there and I am a fan of boxers. I just don't remember ever seeing his chin tested.
As far as how I would take it if PBF lost. IMO Pacquiao is better for boxing than Mayweather so I wouldn't mind. Pacquiao wants to fight everyone and always puts on a good show. Good luck to both fighters. I just wished I could have seen Pacquiao fight someone different in the last 5 years to give a better prediction (Cotto, MAB, Morales, JMM, JD, etc... all fight coming forward, PBF doesn't)

Had to put that out there.....Cotto doesn't fight anything like Marquez.....Morales doesn't fight anything like Hatton.....DLH...well.....etc....you can't make a comment like that and lump his past 5 yrs of fights saying they ALL CAME FORWARD.....
Agreed, No matter what people tell you about how Pac's legacy been "sealed" if he beats Mayweather he could be proclaimed the greatest of all time by everyone concern and thats a testment to how good Mayweather is, But if Mayweather beat Pac then it isnt such a bigger deal unless he destroy Pac which i cant see happening really.

Pacquiao will get the credit he deserves if he wins this fight for the most part. Yes there will be some haters but they will get overwhelmed by his supporters. If Mayweather wins it will be a different story for him. He will get little credit. I guarantee you that and you can sign my name to it.

u think floyd will keep fighting after a blemished record? he will be labeled "shot" IF pac beats him. back to retirement.
I don't think he will retire TBH. I think he will keep on fighting and might fight every top fighter out there. Just to prove it was a fluke.

the ones who thinks that floyd is unbeatable will surely take this very hard... and this is composed of at least 80% of the flomos
Nothing's impossible bro, that's the problem with people who are too much of a fan of one particular fighter (which I stopped being years ago). People will claim they know so much about Boxing, but totally exclude their fav fighter(s) off GP because they don't look outside the box. For all we know, Floyd could beat the piss out of Pacquiao, but that again is a possibility contrary to what many may think right now. I asked how his fans would embrace a loss, and you bring up "Pacquiao barely got by JMM". So what? That was almost 2 years ago. You're telling me the Pacquiao Floyd's fighting is just a heavier version of the one who fought JMM? That sounds like Boxing knowledge and admiration for one fighter getting a bit tangled.
Anyone who posts an angry reply to this thread will react even angrier if Floyd loses.
It's just a hypothetical. Play along.

Shit happens, boxers lose.
I'm not gonna shed any tears over it. I'll be happy for Pacquiao and hopefully happy to have just witnessed a great fight. I'll still support Mayweather's future boxing endeavors too.
Good shit son....
The question is so ridicoulous is cant even be taken serious.
He doesnt even have a clear win over JMM yet...Yet hes just going to beat the shit out of Floyd?
If Floyd loses..he loses...what do you want me to say.

this...:boxing:
If Mayweather loses, I will be disappointed, but I will get over it. I will give Pac the credit he deserves for being a great fighter. I won't call him the GOAT or even place him in the top 10. However, I wouldn't place Mayweather in the top 10 among the GOAT either. I don't think it will be a blowout, regardless of who wins.
