    Not to mention in a hundred years when the historian looks at Floyds record, he will simply see a win over another great fighter, and wont care about how.
    ofcourse not........we care how one boxers won..........look at the mad love for gatti............yes a win is a win.........but an impressive win against an ATG.....doesnt just solidify his status.....it defines his greatness........................

        Oh **** off about the weight. It's abundantly apparent Pacquiao has taken his power AND speed up with him in weight, if anything Pacquiao has looked more impressive, and almost unbeatable at WW.

        I think you're forgetting that Floyd himself, still, isn't a "big" Welterweight. Is he a 'real' Welterweight? Yes. Is he a 'big' Welterweight? No. Manny and Floyd have both weighed between 145-150 on fight night for the past 3-4 years.

            lol, for real. I don't care for either of these guys but it's a crock that the excuses are coming out. Sick of all these bs excuses after every big fight. A fights a fight and people need to suck it up.

These guys are so even, so to think one or the other should win easily is insulting to both fighters. It should be an even fight because they are equally skilled. If one does blow out the other I think its fair to say that that guy is clearly the better of the fighters, and the greatest of the era. t be a dominThis fight decides a lot imo but it should be an even matchup and shouldn'ant win for either man.



              A WIN is a win....no one is dis*****g that............but if PBF potshots his way to a boring decision........in a fight this magnitude .............................it shouldnt be called great win either........potshotting and putting a boxing clinic are different though...

              if someone just manage to beat him...... in any way... that would be impressive.

              no ofense strugler but i think u r jusy hating on floyd.... pot shot or not it will be using the sweet science........ and if he handles pac's attack.... thats impressive
              not if its pot shotting......im not asking him to play pacs game....i want PBF to rise to the occassion.......no offense taken

                  A win, no matter how it happens in this fight, between two evenly matched guys is a great win no matter what. I don't care if he pot shotted 7 rounds and ran the last 5 to a victory, it would still be a great victory. Not sure why you are so hung up with it having to be a dominant win. It's not supposed to be a dominant victory for either fighter because they are the best of an era.

                    i think what it comes down to is u just dont like potshotting. if floyd is able to potshot a great fighter like pac all night and shut him down i would call that impressive. and it also depends on ur definition of impressive

                      PBF is a small WW himself. I thought I could read through the lines with this post. Have you see PBF compared to Mosley or Margarito? The guy is ***ing small. PBF and Manny are about the same size. PBF may be a little thicker but there isn't really any size advantage.
