    You don't know that. If that were really the case then why doesn't Floyd let HBO take his weight? I refuse to believe Floyd at this stage doesn't even have to work to make weight.

      His dad was quoted saying he didn't even gain any weight the very next day, that's how hard he works in the gym.

        I mean as of right now...when I play this fight out in my head, it looks like Manny would get beat up....Floyd being the opening favorite doesn't suprise me....people say size doesn't matter...but when you're as good and skilled as Floyd is...having a size disadvantage against that kind of beast may be asking too much of lil' Pac...but like I said before, don't count Manny out because the door won't lock on him until the 4th or 5th round....I think if he put hands on Floyd EARLY and some how put him down or hurt him OFTEN...then Manny would become "good money".....but if he aint done no damage by the time Floyd has his him figured out....then its just a matter of how long Roach will keep sending his prized fighter out there....

          Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao isn't gonna happen. I'll believe it when the bell rings and both fighters are in the ring

We have learned from Richard Gardner, a sportsbook manager for betting site Bodog, that Mayweather opened up as a -140 favorite and Pacquiao opened at +110. [Click Here To Read More]

                i agreed, idk think that pac will be a big underdog, if an underdog at all, by the time money is being bet.... thats IF this fight even gets made, which IDT it will

                  I guess Mayweather retires after this fight. What else is left.. Williams, Martinez, Bradley?

                    I am convinced more than ever that Floyd beats Manny.

                      what i said is the obvious.....never said pac is too big for packy, that **** is an excuse...have you ever heard " a great big man beats a great little man,?, even floydie said it lots of times vs jmm, that is the popular bet......hope you dont deny floyd is bigger than packy .....
