this is classic:

"They are both legendary fighters in this game, but neither one can beat Bernard Hopkins." Rasheed Wallace, Forward, Detroit Pistons

i thoguh the same thing

[El Jesus]

Bow Wow's a ******. He officially just made himself look like the biggest ****** in the world. Like we can't tell that he's only rooting for floyd because floyds a black fighter.

or maybe he just thinks hes going to win?

Im proud of Alex Smith

"I think it's going to be a really good, closely-contested fight, but I'm going with Mayweather in a decision." Alex Smith, Quarterback, San Francisco 49ers

'Sheed is still a North-Philly hoodrat, didn't even answer the question

[kayjay]

Damn more fighters are picking Oscar than Floyd!

[King Koyle]

Some of those predictions are pretty funny.I agree with Taylor's though,his makes the most sense to me.

He consistently attempts to put mayweather down in an attempt downplay a potentail threat to his legacy imo.


Well, we can definitly dissagree on thais one because Sugar Ray Leonard is on another level than PBF. Boxers have to be judged on their competition and SRL had 10 X the better opposition than PBF will in his career. No way PBF can ever end up with the legacy that SRL did. It's not fair sometimes but thats the way it is.

i'd really rather have mayweather win, but i could live with dlh winning provided he contuines to fight on. i really cant wait to see who wins, this is a huge fight, the hype is impressive and it seems like its gonna be a good fight. i'd go out of my way to say mayweather could get a early stoppage, or dlh wins a descion. just to be crazy with my perdiction, i think the outcome will be shocking

[Parody]

Many Experts, Boxers and Celebrities are picking DLH

Most of them are picking him to win...man i cant wait more for this fight, 72 hours more

[Parody]

The only reason im not counting oscar out is because hes the underdog...but floyd should easily win this fight and that is my honest predicition, I think oscar will win no more than 3-4 rounds.
