IMO I believe it should of happened in 2010 when Emmanuel came off a great win against Cotto and Floyd's dominant win over Marquez. I'm not as excited about the fight then was 2-3 years ago but If it does happen I'll tune in. In essence I feel it's a shame cause the two greatest fighters of their generation (at 2009-10) never fought kinda like Ali never fighting Frazier or the Fab Four never fighting each other and so on. Your Thoughts?
Respect your opinion but the delay, while it lowers boxing fans exectations because niether is at the height, may make the fight better, as it did with may/cotto.
IMO, if Mayweather beats manny easy now, he was gonna beat him then, just in a different way. May/cotto again, while it was exciting, was a 9-3 fight, which isn't really close, but some of the rounds were.
Always thought floyd boxes circles around Manny. I dont know that floyd can move like that anymore.
But the hype w/ Mayweather vs Pacquiao will far exceed Mayweather Cotto which anything less than what Mayweather vs Cotto was in the ring will be a huge let down considering how long this fight has been on the shelf for. Casual fans I think will be expecting a barn burner but will more that likely be given a some what decent fight. Big at the box office, borderline stinker in the ring is how I see it playing out.
its past its sell by date dunn. people used to watch a mayweather fight and then they would say he would beat pacquiao. then people would watch a pacquiao fight and say he would beat mayweather. now you watch a pacquiao fight and you would think mayweather would beat him. pac isnt as raw as he used to be.
still want to see it, but it would have been a much better fight when it was supposed to happen.

for die hard boxing fans, not so much. for casual fans, I'm sure it will be.

It'll still be a box office attraction, but I think it'll be a much less exciting fight than most would expect. I agree it should've happened years ago, but even then I don't think based on styles it would live up to the hype.
The only thing this fight is good for is making Floyd/Pacman & whoever is promoting them huge paydays. The fight is obviously worthless & it's relatively clear that Floyd toys with Pacman in a 1 sided beating.
2 years too late. A serious black eye in the sport. And so much more. Has there ever been another time in the history of the sport when the top 2 fighters in all of the sport shared the same weight class & never fought??
I don't really care for this fight any more. I have no expectation. If it happens great, if it doesn't oh well.
Can't wait to see Pacquaio back in the ring though. Fantastic fighter.
No longer exciting, i'd rather not wanna see it from happening now, Pac hasnt scored a KO since '09, no suprised if this turned out to be another typical 12-round UD win for Mayweather. it might even be a boring win for floyd.
What way do you mean doesnt look the same ? How much do you think the opponents played in how good Manny looked a few years ago , I mean there is an old saying you are only as good as who you beat , which means youve got to look real hard at the opponents and see if anything has changed with them , might be some coincidences that come to light , maybe ?
his power his punch output when he throws he seems he doesnt want to hurt the opposite fighter anymore there is no venom in his punches to me he just is not the same fighter it pains me to say it he is one of my favourite fighters been a big fan of his since the ledwaba fight.his opponents have been okay the only one that seemed pretty pointless to me was the mosley fight he had really nothing to gain in fighting shane at that point and we all no there is was no point in the 3rd match with marquez there fights will always be like that 2011 was the right time to fight mayweather then retire now he has to fight marquez then bradley rematch and go hunting for floyd all wrong imo
pacquiao just doesnt look the same fighter i dont know what it is weather its all the stuff he has give up like the casinos ****fighting women lol,to me he just does not resemble the pacquiao from a few years ago im a fan of both but i think everybody knows who will win the fight imo

You're a hater if you think every one of Mayweathers fights have been boring.
Dude his name is "Pac-Boy", I think that says all you need to know about him.
What exactly do you mean , more than the others of his prime era , just Manny ?
Why I ask is because Manny fighting 2011 JMM looked just the same as 04 and 08 how do you explain that , by your reasoning JMM should beat him clearly ,,,,,

yes I don't care about it anymore.
manny is slower ,he lost his aggressiveness and looks over the hill
mayweather is slower losing his reflexes, lost his legs and is clearly past prime
Still a fan of the fight, but definitely not as much as before.
It is the best fight in boxing though, and since both men lost a step it's gonna be very interesting.
people would still buy it today, and it is still the biggest fight in the history that can be made. back in 2009-2010, many are rooting for mayweather to beat pac, but the people also give pac a great chance and im sure that wouldve been really competitive that time, especially with their styles, personality and everything. No fight in history, has those kinds of ingredients. comeback, good vs bad kinda thing, offense vs defense.
Honestly I was 51-49 for pac way back at 2009-2010. just because im a filipino and Im backing our guy and i know he has a chance. but right now, floyd would just make him silly.. he couldnt even chase bradley all over the place and find it hard to hit him with the average defense of bradley. how much more floyd. Floyd is also past it, thats why i dont want any of them to lose anymore.
if it happens, then okay, it will still raise more questions though.. and excuses.
I'll watch every fight with Manny or Floyd, of course, but I'm not thrilled about this one. It's too late.
Manny showed signs of fading in the Margarito-fight, and from there on he's just continued to decline. The fight should've been made in 2010, in 2013 it'll be way too late. Floyd would easily decision Manny at this stage, and it would be a much more boring fight then it would've been if he had won a decision back in 2010. They f0cked this one up.
pacquiao is done the fight isnt appealing anymore i cant believe how much pacquiao has diminished as fighter is quite scary floyd will fight him and whoop him
