Smh.
1. May can't KO Tim. Not enough power and strong chin.
2. Tims got better head movement than any of May opponent in the last five years.
You're sort of delusional if you think May can ko Tim let alone knock him down mate. Matter of fact I reckon the Bradley now is better than all of Mayeather opponents in the last five years.
are you serious?
do you think timmy would keep guerrero off of him?
maidana?
timmy barely beat JMM it was a close fight and timmy looked like **** in that fight. timmy straight up ran,Comment

I've yet to hear any logical Manny fan actually say what Manny can do that will truly trouble Floyd the whole fight other than: Manny's southpaw, odd angles, hand and foot speed, this magical right hand Manny possesses now, volume of punches/work rate, lightning combos, shoulder roll won't work, etc... lol
I also wonder why some keep thinking that Manny can KO Floyd when Floyd has never been officially knocked down. Yet the same ones think Floyd can't KO Manny even though Manny has been KO'd multiple times and Marquez put him to sleep not that long ago.Comment

Floyd has always stayed in shape LOL!
Why is Manny afraid of using VADA when fighting legit opponents? Manny was fine using VADA for only 2 fights against C class bums Al*****i and Bum Bum Rios making their welterweight debuts... and Al*****i was fought at a catchweight so that Manny could get the advantage even though Al*****i wanted the fight at the full welterweight limit for his WW debut.
Manny didn't want testing for Marquez 4 after Marquez said he'd only do better testing if Manny also did it. When Manny fought Bradley2 he used that garbage Nevada "advanced" testing while Bradley did VADA and the Nevada testing. And what makes it really su****iously odd is that Manny had just done VADA for Rios and did VADA right after Bradley2... very odd!!!!! But Manny does VADA all the time doe! Manny never refused full random OSDT doe!Comment

I just can't see Floyd stopping manny. He's gonna be safety first especially against a fighter like manny. He doesn't have to be exciting to preserve his brand. His brand is built by winning.
This whole conversation was initiated by the fact that a lot of the talk coming out out the Mayweather Camp is that he is going to be aggressive and come forward in the fight, which dramatically changes the dynamic
I don't think anyone is saying he is going to box the full 12, or at least I am not, but at times I believe he should/will go on the back foot. Cotto found some of his best punches on Floyd off the back foot, Floyd like all fighters is vulnerable when he is coming forward and thinking about landing. Manny is one of the few fighters who has the attributes to take advantage of it. Of course for big parts of the fight he will come forward and put pressure on Floyd. I think a lot will be dictated by the first couple of rounds and who can control the distance, Manny I think offsets some of the things that Floyd does well because of his tremendous foot speed.
Good points made

I wouldve respected Mayweather more if he wouldve just ducked Pacquiao altogether. There is a lot more honor in being a coward, as opposed to flat out cheating and being labeled a Fake & Fraud for the rest of your days.
He just hired the two dirtiest guys in the sport for strength and conditioning? After all those accusations..Are you f-king kidding me?Comment
