I think both fighters need each other equally and for sure Floyd is the bigger draw, brings in more paperview sales and should be in the driver’s seat but let’s think about this rationally folks all bias aside. If a Floyd vs Pac clash of the titans fight doesn’t get made then which other fighter out there meets Floyd’s criteria of star power and financial incentive for him to get in the ring with? None if you realistically think about it. Pac on the other hand has options in the Arum stable. Sure I wouldn’t care for a Pac vs Margorito, or Pac vs Cotto II or Pac vs Foreman but they are realistic possibilities and they sure can’t be worse than Pac vs Clottey. All these fights can be made easily being that they are all Arum’s fighters and will get made if Floyd vs Pac doesn’t happen. Floyd on the other hand wouldn’t have a viable dance partner that meets his criteria of star power and financial incentive. Pac , Arum and Roach can and will walk away and go to the other options, however I don’t see Floyd with anyone viable to replace Pac with that meets his standards. What do you guys think?

Just watched the fight over for the fourth time, each time focusing on something different. This time i focused on the corners instructions at the end of the rounds. At the end of the 7th round Nazim told Shane in reference to Floyd "See i tell ya this kid's gift is his conditioning, it ain't got nothing to do with that other stuff." Do you guys agree that it is this and nothing else that makes Floyd the fighter he is? I personally don't agree with that statement, i think there are plenty of attributes which sets Floyd apart from other fighters and most importantly is his ability to adjust to each individual fighter and his intelligence in the ring. You combine that with his speed, accuracy, counter punching ability, defense, lateral movements, underrated power, underrated strength and you have the components that make up Floyd "The Dragon Mayweather". What do you guys think?

Everyone had their predictions on this fight would go. Most picked Floyd to outbox Shane by circling around the ring using his jab and countering Shane. Others picked Shane to pressure Floyd and eventually knock him out. Shanes trainer Nazim Richardson predicted that Shane would punch Floyd in the mouth and he would grow wings, sprout claws and spit fireballs at Shane at which Shane would step on his tail and go underneath to beat him. BUT nobody predicted that Floyd of all people would stand toe to toe with Shane and walk him down much like Winky Wright did to Shane. Neither Shane nor Nazim expected this "element of surprise" and i think this was threw them off as everyone expected Floyd to pot shot, use his jab, counter, dart in and out, circle Mosley and just simply outbox him. Yes Nazim predicted fireballs but he didn't expect it from close quarters, they expected it from a distance. Much props should go to team Mayweather for this strategy as throughout all the talks of Shane being suspectible to the jab no-one expected Mayweather to walk Shane down. "The element of surprise"- Discuss.

http://www.braggingrightscorner.com/wademayweather042710.html This an excellent article written by Martin Wade i found on Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have to say i agree with everything in it.

Back in January when Andre Berto was scheduled to fight Shane Mosley the man who Freddie Roach months earlier refused twice to put Manny Pacquiao in the ring with and who was coming off his most impressive win of his career against Antonio Margorito, everyone agreed that it would have been a fight of the year candidate. Not to mention the countless amount of people who called Mayweather scared and a ducker because he wasn't fighting Mosley at the time. There was no mention of Mosley being too "old" for Andre Berto who is in fact a much younger fighter than Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fast forward to three months later when many peoples nightmares are coming true, and they realized that Mayweather isn't scared of Shane Mosley and the fight is really about to happen this saturday. So what do they panic and do before the fight? Try to taint Mayweathers victory before he gets one on Saturday by claiming that: "Three months and a training camp later Shane Mosley has caught a severe case of "Olditis". Discuss.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are the two best fighters of this generation with Mayweather being the best boxer and Pac being the best fighter. The threads that keep on popping up by the second on this site bashing each of the two are pointless as they get nowhere and they are all repetitive. No matter how many threads are done about the two boxer/fighters there won't be any agreement or peace on the forum between the die hard Mayweather fans or Pacquiao fans. Do you think a Mayweather/Pac sub forum is needed where everything Mayweather/Pac related should be be placed?
