I know I am jumping the gun but looking at your sig pictures of Ali and Frazier I can't help but wonder if that is what we are seeing. Will these two make each greater by the rivalry? Who will play Ali and who Frazier? I have my opinions but again I am jumping the gun. Just so dang excited!

Yeah i hope its gonna be more like Ali-Frazier and not like Tom & Jerry =)
Its gonna be a great fight between OFFENSE and DEFENSE

Pac is a 7/5 underdog according to UK bookmakers, they have Floyd at a best priced 4/6.

Pac fans should get in there now, as I see a lot of money going on him from casual fans after what he's done recently. I think the odds will be around even on fight night.

For me I don't really care as long as they give their best come fight night. The sport of boxing as well as the community & fans will benefit from this event. Let alone the betters.

I see Mayweather dominating the first rounds and then Manny adjusting and starting to wear Mayweather down in round to late stoppage or UD.

Ring side report

Styles make fights and the style match up between Manny and Floyd seems perfect on paper. You have the aggressive and quick Pacquiao, trying to find a way in and you have Floyd, trying to counterpunch the quickest fighter he has ever faced. Considering that Zab Judah beat him to the punch on several occasions bodes well for Pacquiao, but Floyd is a better boxer than Marquez and has a lot more savvy…this is why this bout is so intriguing. Enjoy the fight, but don’t put too much money on it. It looks like a pick’em to me.

There are so many things that can be examined going into this fight and they will be. Because the fans are cut down the middle, both siding with their fighter to win the bout, and both citing reasons, publications will turn over every stone to try to predict an outcome.

What is promising for Pacquiao’s fans is his ability to put punches together in combinations and from different angles. Floyd loves fighting guys like Arturo Gatti and Carlos Baldomir, men that throw one or two punches at a time and they come at a snail’s pace. Pacquiao is a speed demon and it is debatable if Floyd can dodge them all. It is possible that Floyd’s counters won’t be fast enough and that he will be hit while trying to hit return fire.

A weak chin can be put to rest too. Manny Pacquiao took shots from a very strong and powerful Miguel Cotto and didn’t flinch. He won’t drop on one punch from Mayweather, but Mayweather doesn’t just throw one punch either. He will launch in with that left hook, which is a punch that Manny is open for. Unfortunately for the Pacman, that is Floyd’s best punch and if it lands, it could send him into a series of punches by “Money Mayweather.”
