um.....you know frazier not only won the 1st fight but arguably the trilogy.

How the hell is that possible

When frazier was pulled out of his corner before the last round of the 3rd fight?

LOL

Hmm, don't really see it that way. Foreman was looked at as indestructible, no one would be able to stand up to him, and Ali was too old and past it to win. Pac and Mayweather aren't looked at like that at all. Both Pac and Floyd are likely at the end of or a little past their primes, neither is the pure force of nature Foreman was considered to be, it would be a 50-50 fight as far as predictions compared to everyone thinking Ali would get massacred.

Sorry, don't see it. And I think Pac is definitely a harder fight for Floyd than Mosley, Pac is maybe the only fighter in the world Floyd would not hold some decisive physical advantage over, and Floyd depends on that more than people think.

There is no comparison. Pac and Foreman are completely different fighters style wise.

Foreman was slow, plodding and orthodox, Pac is the complete opposite in every way except for maybe the power department.

you look at the boxingscene poll on the main page and over 60 percent of the voters believe that Pacquiao knocks out Floyd, In face I'm certain Manny would bethe favorite amongst the public. However with Mayweather's skills no one would be surprised if he wins.

No one is talking about the style of fighters, Mayweather is no Ali in terms of style, I'm speaking off of public preception and the fights potential outcome...

The 32 year old Ali told people he was going ot knock Foreman out and people thought he was off his rocker.

The 32 year old Mayweather is saying Manny Pacquiao will be "Easy work" and people are saying his is crazy.
