Are you saying this fight is somewhat irrelevant? This is the most relevant fight that can be made in boxing. It will prove once and for all who is the supreme welterweight and p4p boxer of our era. If mayweather doesn't fight pacquiao the only advantage he has over pacquiao is his undefeated record and compubox stats which dont mean much considering his type of opponents. Manny beats mayweather in every other aspect. 8 division champ to mayweathers 4. 3x fighter if the year to mayweathers 2x and fighter of the decade to nothing for mayweather. Manny also has the better wins on his resume. His fights were also much more exciting with knickdowns and knockouts pretty common even against elite opposition. Oscar is right, this fight could propel boxing back into the mainstream and make boxing as relevant as it was back in the 90s and before. There is no other fight in boxing that is more relevant. They are still number 1 and 2 p4p according to most sources. Doesn't get any more relevant than that.

Everyone knows 3 of this writhe were win at catchweight and not fighting actual champs of division and never defended 154 title ...it was outrageous the fight even happen with margacheato getting title fight...maidana and canelo will beat any fighter manny fought in last decade...Floyd's even at 36 has fought Better opposition ...and mutual fighters they fought Floyd fought first then 2 yeas later he fought them but considered out there prime when Floyd fought them. Floyd is the bigger draw and respected by his peers as the best ....Floyd could never fight rios and algeri...never not without being criticized...what fighter outside of margacheato (another slow Mexican fighter Floyd kills easy) who has PAC fought that could truely beat Floyd ...bradley midget pillow punching ass or Barrera ...lol

Floyd has no plan of fighting Pacquiao on May. If it miraculously happens, Pac will destroy Floyd. Let me explain. See... 3 of Pac's last 4 fights he fought technical slick boxers. Algieri, Bradley and Marquez. While Floyd's last opponents are Maidana 2, Maidana 1, Guerrero, and Canelo. These are all one dimensional fighters. Slow, forward moving, flat footed fighters. None of these fights will help Floyd to prepare for Manny. Fighting flatfooted fighters to get ready for Pac is equivalent to 4 years of inactivity. Floyd didn't prepare for it coz he has no plan of fighting Pac...ever!

Lmao do you do stand up comedy lmao...you should ...PAC short arm and wild punching ass will be destroyed ...it will be not over rated fight in history ...PAC will get apart...PAC has been matched with no technical fighters..algeri can't Ko my granny lol ...jabbing all day is not technical ...bradley is decent but not the best technical fighter ...Floyd will beat PAC easy I will bet any idiot 2-1

Na nah. I agree with my man. Floyd is going to have to fight a differnt style. Pac speed, footwork, aggressiveness and counter combos is going to have Floyd philly shelled in place just dipping and rolling. I don't see how money can slow Down mannys pace.

If manny can cut the ring tho, if not money has the best bike

This fight's not happening... they've been talking about it for the longest time... how long does it take 4 en****** HBO, Showtime, TR, and Mayweather to come to an agreement for a record breaking PPV/gate revenue boxing match where everyone would come out ahead? This is getting ridiculous and I'm convinced it's not happening. The blueprint for a SHO/HBO joint production is there from Lennox/Tyson. I think one of these boxers has no interest in actually making the fight and it's the one who already has guaranteed riches from SHO for fighting any joe blow.

[TheRichCoward]

So do we, De La Hoya...

He's (Floyd) has ducked this fight long enough. It's like Clemens and the steroids debacle, it's just time for Floyd to come clean, and except the fight...win, lose, or draw.

Pac has never been easily beaten. Your obviously a pac hater. And just for shiets and giggles, who was the last dude Floyd "destroyed"?
