This would be a legendary Fight!!!

I'm sure who I would pick in this one but if had to choose I give Pacquiao a slight edge because of his more versatile and has more heart.

nice long thread, good points on either side. the only ****** thing i keep seeing in this is benny's repeated posts of ready made excuses for mayweather in case he loses. for gods sake, the fight hasnt been made yet and he's got all these ****in excuses already, stfu wilya?

[KabukiJoe]

Indeed. And what people don't seem to consider is Corrales' mental state at that point in time. It wasn't good.

...Diego got beat pretty bad by the same guy that JMM just destroyed...there's a lot of similar opponents in the mix here...

Did you just say that Pacquiao is a more versatile fighter than Mayweather?

Pac does bring some advantages into the fight. Versatility is NOT among them.

Joe,

Casamayor is just a bit past prime. Wouldn't you say?

i like this fight- im not gonna lie. i REALLY want to see it

i love manny, if he beat floyd it would be amazing. the speed is there, he is very skilled, he's with a trainer who has dealt with the mayweather puzzle before (and failed, but experience never hurts).

i think this could be a great fight- if mayweather wanted to fight manny in a phone booth he could do it (proved it with hatton) and it could be very entertaining.

but i think mayweather's defense is going to be too much, and he's got the power to stop manny

And you should look into "health."

You know bodybuilders are at their weakest by showtime because they are cutting weight by decreasing carbs and calories.

Freddie even said Oscar shrunk his stomach which played a big part.

You should really hear what Freddie said about Oscar making weight weeks prior. You would be proved wrong.

Just the way it goes.

...it's funny how people only quote Freddie when it suits their purpose...

Here is what you have to ask yourself about Pacquiao in that fight:

1) will FMJ be the fastest fighter he has faced?

2) will FMJ be the most accurate puncher he has faced?

3) will FMJ be the best defender he has faced?

4) will FMJ be the smartest fighter he has faced?

5) will FMJ hit him harder than he has been hit before?

Joe,

Casamayor is just a bit past prime. Wouldn't you say?

...it wasn't that long ago...I was surprised, I thought Diego would win pretty easy...JMM wrecked Casamayor but couldn't beat Manny...it's all about style and how fighters adjust to styles...anyway, I think Manny is a lot better then most people think he...I do...
