    They are so unlike Manny's training, where you get the impression he can throw hard punches non stop for 12 rounds.

    His conditioning will be tested May 2, can he keep up?
    He's probably overtraining.

    Which is good.

    He looked like a beast (apparently) training for Maidana but he gassed midway and was sluggish throughout.

      I mean his accusations of Pacquiao being on PEDs.

      They were going to court. Sundendly rumours are rife with Floyd failing PED tests. Subpoenas coming in for Floyd to see all his test results and Floyd pays out millions to to keep everything quiet.

        Here's exactly what is gonna happen. Floyd is going to win a clear 8-4 or 9-3 fight. You guys are going to scream about bought judges and robbery regardless and demand a rematch (probably in Manila lol). Spam about how Floyd is ducking the rematch and scared. Rematch gets signed, then you'll start posting about how Floyd cherry picked an old Pacquiao and ducked Thurman/Brook/Khan/flavor of the month KO artist. Same old ****.

          Or it's a 7-5 either way type fight and the winners fanbase brags like it was a shutout.

            People will once again shock on how easy this fight for pac. I already bet $1000 for pac to win by a ud. Easy money for me.

              Seems a little unrealistic. He was 9-3 against Guerrero and 8-4 against Maidana. Granted styles make fights, but there are also levels to the sport and Pacquiao is a level or two above Guerrero and Maidana, and Cotto which was another 8-4 or 9-3.

              If we take Pacquiao winning a minimum of the first three rounds, which I expect him to do as he'll press the action and Floyd tends to drop these early rounds against lesser fighters, are we going to say Pacquiao only wins one more round the rest of the fight to make it an 8-4? that would mean him getting schooled like a C+ Guerrero from the early rounds onwards, I just don't see it.

                What odds did you get with your UD? Who was that with?

                I've maxed out my betting on the UD so had to bet the points win got 13/2 to begin with but the odds are dropping fast

                  Styles make fights. Manny has to go through Floyd's most effective range to get to where he likes to work. I just don't see this gunshy post KO Manny going guns blazing all night against someone who is as accurate as Mayweather. He's going to get countered a few times and start trying to box him. All of a sudden Team Pac will find themselves in a hole by the mid to late rounds and then we get to see if Manny has enough stamina left to try and steal the championship rounds. I hope for boxing's sake this is an exciting and competitive fight, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I have a feeling Floyd is going to go in and potshot, hold and spoil all night and people are going to be outraged.

                    Unfortunately, that's a strong possibility how the fight will pan out.
