Once again the boxing world know when the fight is signed pit ur money on TBe

Pac hasn't been the same, but he's 35. No shot fighter beats Tim bradley (really twice), who is a pretty good fighter. The bet is the over, no ko happening here.
Also I remember mayweather was -160 back in early 2010. Those were the odds when the fight broke down doe to steroid testing

WHEN it's signed. Still, I'll believe it when I see it

I wouldnt say shot but after 2010 was when that fire in pac started fading out as a pac fan I've always slightly favored floyd. Floyd was always waiting for him to slow down before he would actually fight him

The Margarito fight took a lot out of pacquiao. Pac vs floyd pre-margarito would have been a toss up. Probably floyd being the slight favorite.

Idiots say Margarito was a safe fight for Pacquiao because Marg lost to Mosley and only beat Cotto cause of the wraps. That's a load of bull. He took a lot of full middleweight punches from Margarito and pacquiao has never been the same since.

But hey, it has to happen at some point. With Pacquiao's style, he's bound to be shot way before fighters like Floyd.

Still, shot Pacquiao beats just about every welter out there and is a live dog againts floyd.

lol no the bigger guy is the one with the most muscle and larger body mass. That would be the 5'10 guy. You guys are focusing so much on height and weight that you dont realize Big includes more then that. Its a very tunnel like view of it.

You got it wrong, size is measured by weight in boxing. What you are trying to tell them is the 5' 10" guy is denser(mass over volume). But weight is we measure in boxing. Heavier fighters are always the bigger one. If we would base it on density(mass over volume) you can assume that bradley could be bigger than Klitchko.

Pac would get schooled to a shutout, possibly a late stoppage. Manny's chin would be rocked all night, he couldn't escape that straight right if he ran out of the ring.

Lol when was the last time Floyd rocked anybody? I think Floyd will win but a shut out? Highly doubt that buddy. Pac ain't no walk in the end park for anybody.

Fighters age differently depending on how much they get hit through out their career.

It's easy to forget that pac went to war against morales and marquez, amongst others in the lower divisions just because of his welterweight run after the oscar fight. Those things come back to a fighter at some point and it looked like it happened right after the Margarito fight.

Pacquiao got better skill wise and that is what he is depending on now to win (i.e. Algieri, Bradley), unlike before when he was depending on his chin and power to win (i.e. barrera, lebdwaba). At one point, he had both (cotto, oscar, hatton) but he's not the same fighter that beat those guys imo.

When has Maidana ever been knocked out cold? Pacman chin is worse than Maidana, Pac has heart but he has been knocked out cold and dropped by a jab, if a KO happens in Mayweather vs. Pacquiao its Floyd koing Pac, no way Floyd gets hurt by Pac, Pac punches are not that hard according to Brandon Rios, also Algieri said it wasnt the power he was just awkward.

Floyd has an underrated chin he has never been hurt bad or dropped and if he did get rocked he recovered well.

I don't think pac can kO Floyd but he could definitely knock him off balance Ala flash knockdown. ..you gotta realize Floyd hasn't fought anybody as fast as pac. And pac has enough power to hurt him.

Floyd wins by arm bar submission..

Theirs a reason why Floyd being his own boss not taking this fight and waiting 5plus years.. Floyd knows Pacs dangerous and fast enough to touch him up and Floyd isnt the same fighter he was in 09

Agree with this. I see Floyd pot shoting all night long like the canelo fight, and as soon as pac closes the distance, he grapples pac and locks his arms...

More pressure to make this fight happen. GOOD!
