    No need to start a fanboy war I thought his performance against Chico was awesome. But yes I do think Emmanuel's style caters more to the casual fan. It's hard to be popular with such a defensive style. He's a brilliant pugilist though.

        you referring to manny pacquaio as "emmanuel" makes you sound like a pretentious twat. FYI.

          Each to their own I guess.

            I gave up a long time ago. They were both in their prime 3 years ago it's not the same anymore. It's pretty sad.

              I don't care anymore if it doesn't happen, but I still want to see it. Weirdly enough, the fight is probably bigger today than it was two years ago. Both fighters seem to be getting relatively better PPV numbers recently.

                If the fight happens I'll buy it, but it'd be like sleeping with a girl you had a crush on in high school who's gone down hill. You just gotta do for that little kid inside you. It probably wont be as good as you had hoped for, and it's not nearly as pretty as it would have been back in the day, but if you got the opportunity why not.
                Great analogy, bro. lol

                Like a lot of guys here, I believe this fight should've happened a couple of years ago. And frankly, I gave Manny the edge back then. Now I'm leaning towards Floyd.

                    I know what you mean, but I still enjoyed those two fights immensely.

                      Somewhere between the first two choices.

                      Yes I'd be happy that they are finally fighting, but it's overdue and should've happened in 2010, or even 2011.

                      Let's be real though, even though it's lost some of its luster, it will still be a financial windfall, and probably the richest fight ever.
