    Why would Pac vs Floyd be fight of the century if...

    1. It's not going to be as exciting as alot of other candidates for fight of the century

    2. Ali vs Frazier 3 / Ali vs Foreman ... Nuff said


    Only reason why this could be fight of the century is because of PPV sales. But can we judge a fight's awesomeness because of PPV sales?

    The "fight of the century" should be called the "fight of the century" if it is the FIGHT of the century and not the BOXING SALE of the century.

    I know you didnt just say that. You think Floyd cant stand in the center of the ring with Pac and just use his skill? Its not just about power. I think Floyd would easily outduel Pac on the inside. I also think people will be shocked how in alot of cases Floyd will look easily stronger than Pac and his power will be more then comperable

      You act like Ali was so different from Floyd with his style. People just loved Ali because he was Ali and a great fighter but its not like he was Tyson. He was just moving and jabbing most of his fights

        Sorry man I'll have to disagree with you there. Floyd has never really handled speed well in the center of the ring. Only time I really saw him handle speed well was when Judah gassed and when Hatton constantly left himself open while coming in (though Floyd had some problems for a while).

        I don't think Floyd can really out duel Pac on the inside. I think Pac has enough skill to beat Floyd on the inside. Pac didn't seem weak against a power puncher like Cotto. I don't think he'll seem weak against Floyd.

        True but Ali had combinations. His fights had more action in them and he'd be throwing while moving backwards and not throwing THEN moving backwards. Stylistically Ali is more entertaining than Floyd. Ali also has more talent IMO.
