5 Reasons a Possible Mayweather vs Pacquiao Fight Will Never Live Up to the Hype

just like what happened to oscar-floyd...hype turned into disappointment after the fight. lots of running and chasing and both men will end the fight with unmarked face.

I don't think it will live up to the hype because I don't think the fight will be that competitive. whats your prediction ?

lol theyre both not in their prime now? what did they age to 45 overnight? i mean they may not be 100% prime but theyre going to be PRETTY DAM CLOSE TO IT!

keep them coming guys.

I don't think it will live up to the hype because I don't think the fight will be that competitive.

Floyd will put on a boxing clinic. Everybody in Pacland knows it. Fight would've been signed, sealed, and delivered if it weren't for the myriad excuses put out by Team Pacquiao. Almost 3 years and the Pacman still hasn't decided whether to take the test or not. Almost 3 years? What the hell are you talking about? Again, people on this site have terrible grasps of how much time has passed since something happened. Wow, 3 years? What an idiot.

i think if they had already fought this is how it woulda gone down 1999 floyd wins by KO 2000 floyd wins by ko 2001 floyd wins by ko 2002 floyd wins by TKO in the later rounds 2003 floyd wins by TKO 2004 floyd wins by UD 2005 floyd wins by UD 2006 manny wins by SD 2007 manny wins by TKO 2008 manny wins by ko 2009 manny wins by ko 2010 manny wins by ko 2011 manny wins by tko 2012 ??? So while one fighter has been eating punches most of his career, and the other fighter rarely gets touched, the fighter thats been eating punches is going to last longer? I mean, scientifically, it doesn't make sense.

Great Article. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/791045-5-reasons-a-possible-mayweather-vs-pacquiao-fight-will-never-live-up-to-the-hype This fight will not live up to the hype, and contrary to popular belief that delaying the fight will build up interest, it is the opposite and im losing interest in it. It should have happened ages ago, when people wanted it. I want KHan and Floyd now and if floyd can beat khan, i then want Sergio and Floyd.

Because most ppl want to see mayweather get kod or lose but its not happening lets be real. Mayweathers defense frustrates his opponents aswell as casual fans

Hehe I read the article and saw a related article "The 15 Most Brutal Knockouts in Boxing History" and had to check it out. Saw a few insane KOs that I haven't seen before: Cintron - Matthysse @0:47... OUCH! Gatti (RIP) - Gamache @4:10... Dude's eyes were rolling in the back of his head after the first punch, to add insult to injury he took 2 more shots + head bouncing off the canvas AFTER he was already KO'd. Goddamn.

Floyd is a technical fighter only people who know boxing and or have boxed can truly appreciate his style. .... people keep on analyzing whats wrong with boxing, well here is whats wrong with boxing nowadays, boxing is a blood sports a combat sports from thousands of years ago the sports of boxing is basically to knock over or draw blood from your opponent. knock his head off his shoulder or render him too damaged to continue fighting. nowadays too much techniques ruined the excitement in the sports, added to that the refusal of some fighters to fight all comers. this is also explains the emergence of MMA as the main bloodsports nowadays, people are patronizing them with the hope of seeing not those grasping and grappling but blood dripping from wounds inflicted by opposing fighters. gaddang it its prizefighting try knocking off the head of your opponent to stop him fighting back and not just earn for points because box for points is for the amateurs, hit and not be hit but at least try stopping your opponent not pitty pat, pitty pat points. technical fighting for points are for exhibitions only. ever wonder why people are so awed to fighters described as a "throwback"? because they fight like fighters in the early years meaning they "fight".

As usual, all Floyd fights are boring as hell. Luckily his opponents bring the fights to him. If all the boxers fight like Floyd then the boxing is long time dead. Imagine one waiting to each other to throws punches then run. Floyd was scared otherwise why he asked for OST? because he wants to clean the sport? I don't think so.

I thought about it and no. Ur post is so ignorant. Ignorant in what way. Floyd has lots of fans for a reason. Like i said everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And the average boxing fan does not truly understand how technically brilliant Floyd is, doesn't mean u have to like him.

floyd is the bigger man, just as quick as pac, bigger reach, pac is there to get hit, all this = floyd putting on a CLINIC

People dont want to see the fight because they think it will be exciting, its because Pac in thier eyes has the best chance to be competative with Mayweather and be the 1st one to beat him since his marketing of his fights is based on him being undefeated and great defence... People will forget that though and complain when Mayweather dominates a boxing clinic and say he was scared to throw down like a street fight...

Floyd will put on a boxing clinic. Everybody in Pacland knows it. Fight would've been signed, sealed, and delivered if it weren't for the myriad excuses put out by Team Pacquiao. Almost 3 years and the Pacman still hasn't decided whether to take the test or not.

One reason the fight will live up to its hype----Mayweather gets KTFO!

Floyd is a technical fighter only people who know boxing and or have boxed can truly appreciate his style. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Floyd is not scared of Pac though. I never heard of someone turning down a blood test for 40 million plus, Pac is not worried about principle. He is hiding something, think about it. I thought about it and no. Ur post is so ignorant.

None of these mega fights ever live up to the hype anymore. I have no doubt that it would be a disappointing fight to watch with a predictable decision. If it never happened, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Besides boxing is better without mayweather. Everything about him is unpleasant, including his style. Floyd is a technical fighter only people who know boxing and or have boxed can truly appreciate his style. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Floyd is not scared of Pac though. I never heard of someone turning down a blood test for 40 million plus, Pac is not worried about principle. He is hiding something, think about it.

i do believ it really will not live up to the hype... 1. i think floyd will run most of the time (Amazing Ring IQ footwork) 2. floyd is a minimal puncher ( amazing accuracy ) 3. floyd is too cautios (amazing defense) 4. pac will get frustrated from floyd's unwillingness to trade ; pac's output will be reduced due to that (you're right....) 5. floyd only knows one way to win vs pac , and thats by decision. (yes, Floyd is going to outbox manny ass) yes I agree 100% floyd is is going to outbox manny ass....
