    Mayweather Is going to get all he can handle.
    It's relevant only from a style perspective. JMM found ways to score effectively against Manny. Floyd is bigger, better balance, stronger, faster, smarter, quicker, longer and better in JMM in almost every way. I think it was Lou Dibella a few years ago who referenced same as being the reason Manny/Bob didn't want fight.

    Granted Floyd looked very slow in the last Maidana fight and IMO lost quite a few of the "middle of the ring" exchanges with Maidana in the 1st fight so at least for me its going to be closer than I had thought all the other times the fight looked close.

    Its not a triangle theory, its a comparison of "similar style opposition.

      Now I won't even bother watching, Did Manny just reveal that he agreed to fix the fight? Not a good look, Floyd must have offered him some side money to pay his 35 million tax bills or something.

        "...yes pacquiao you're next", "i didn't say that, i didn't say that at all", "health comes first", were the famous lines five years past...

        there might be another statement similar to these one of these days...

Keep it 100, if Floyd really wanted this fight to happen, we would be getting ready to watch a rubber match. Floyd talk more ish than anyone but Arum calls him out and that may stop the fight. Man gtfoh with that bs. Arum sees it like millions of ppl sees it! After all these years, it seems like May has been afraid to fight Manny. You know the "midget" "he'll beat with ease". Well beat him with ease and get your 120M. The man who really loves money is going to let Arum words stop him from making 120M. Where I come from, we call cowards out. This is no hate... May is a "rich coward" with a lot of talent but won't fight the BEST man in their era. It's a d@mn shame how some of you fans are blind to the fact that this man doesn't want to fight Manny. We've heard plenty of excuses and roadblocks from May. theres plenty of footage of him making his excuses. Keep it 100 and call like you really see it. Its been a duck since Dec 2009. I'm not going to get into all the blood test dude used to get out of the fight. The fake 2yr retirement to avoid tough fights and the bs fight with JMM. Just call it like it is, May don't want it. He's being forced into this fight because Showtime been losing money and most important, many of his fans and fans period tired of him ducking Manny. Period.
          Arum sees it like millions of people see it but everyone seems to be saying Arum is the problem who used to say otherwise. I guess you can't see like the rest of the blind sheep steadily.......

Just a quick example you said a 75/25 split was fair, even though that's the split miguel cotto got. You have no objectivity what so ever. This is denial 101.
              You are not a Pacquiao fan either because even Manny fell back from bashing Floyd and keeps his hopes of making the fight. You fall in the Arum fan/Floyd hater category. Not everyone who is a Pacquiao fan has to be a complete douche.

                So Floyd you shouldnt make the mistake of making people so anticipate the fight when in reality the fight will likely be an anti climax and let down. People will just be relieved its over with.

                So if you are going to fight Pac, get it over and done with because the wait wont have been worth it and you dont want such a big weight on your shoulders and such a responsibility of letting people down.
                It won't be because the gap in skill is too wide. School will be in session for Pac.

                    the problem is, Marquez wiling to engage/risk but floyd don't. Like now, its been 5 years and floyd still hesitant to fight Pac.
