Aaaaand here come the excuses ... On cue.

Explain yourself. Who am I making an excuse for??

47-1 lol Floyd fucked up

[Bolopunch68]

Hahaha, he's decision to make the fight happen and his main focus to give the fans a great fight. I give him credit for finally agreeing to fight Manny, but to sound like he wants this fight all along is hilarious. Yeah, Les Moonves has nothing to do with your decision to finally face your match. Let's go, can't wait for May 2.

I can think of scores like 116-112, 116-114 for Mayweather and one judge having it a draw or Pacman winning. it will be SD or MD for Floyd.

Early rounds goes to Manny, the second half of the fight, Mayweather takes control and may win the crucial championship rounds that will be the difference, it will be out of this world if one of them can win 10 of 12 rounds over the other.

Your an absolute ****1ng idiot. Explain to me how this is an excuse. I'm completely impartial in this fight, I support neither fighter, I'm speaking as a fan of boxing saying that this fight, made now, will leave questions unanswered.
Obviously I'm glad the fight is on but for me personally it's frustrating that it's happening now and not years ago when either fighter hadn't looked mediocre against a fighter like maidana or coming off a win against a fighter on the level of algieri.
Roach said pacquiao lacked something against Bradley in the rematch and we all had eyes and saw the mayweather vs maidana fights.

I'm not making excuses either way, both fighters are in decline from when the fight should have happened so refrain from calling me a clown you fanboy *****bomb.

Just ignore them, you can't argue or reason out with fanboys. I know what you are saying, but it's here and I'm happy it's finally happening. It's better late than never you know what I mean?

Floyd just "met " with Pacquiao to safe face since he was being pressured to fight.
Just the week before Floyd was saying "WHy meet with Pacquiao? He's not a Boss"

Fans see right through the smoke.

What you're going to SEE is Mayweather claiming yet another victory on May 2nd. This fight will be less competitive than Floyd's fight vs Miguel.

A slick counter-puncher who can move...such an awful style for Manny to deal with.

[Carpe Diem]

Watch out for the straight left hand, Floyd! Don't keep your head up high all the time. Use your lead hand to measure the distance and anticipate his attacks. Don't stand still for too long. Keep turning him sideway and don't give him an open wide stance to shoot the straight left down the middle. You don't have to pull back all the time with your chin in the air to parry the straight left hand, sometimes just duck under it. Just measure his attack, counter and then set up your variation of attacks.

I see the excuses now when Mayweather whup Pac; he waited 5 years to late, that KO made to the fight out of Pac, Mayweather didn't let him use his own gloves, the needles took Pac out of his game......and so on.

Well that's note an excuse but a straight fact.

Or do you really think the Manny that struggled with Bradley and wasn't able to stop algieri is as good as the Manny that whooped Cotto.

For some reasons Floyd fought Mosley, Cotto and now Manny WAY too late and this once they get beat to pulp by other fighters.

I think Floyd is a smart business man and chose the best moment to fight a guy. He picks fights he knows he can win.

Manny has lost all the momentum.
Maybe it's not Floyd's fault, but that's a fact.

Repeating Joe Tessitore's garbage? Yes, I watch ESPN too.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Pacman has to do his thing quick if wants to get his hand raised....

The first four rounds will be crucial...Pac will need to jump out to an early lead cuz Mayweather's gonna adjust, the question is when, & how far down if any he is when the inevitable adjustment occurs....Floyd will control the second half, but if Manny wins enough early, & can somehow steal a round or two late, then Pac gives himself a chance to win a decision....

However the more likely scenario is that Floyd will outbox Manny & win a UD...

I don't think it'll be easy for Floyd to control the second half of the fight like he did in his other fights. Unlike Floyd's previous opponents, Pacquiao can last the full 12 rounds with Floyd. Then he's is going to have to deal with Pacquiao handspeed, awkwardness, and southpaw style.

I just don't see how Floyd will pull this one out. Pacquiao just seems to pose all kind of things Floyd seems to have a problem with.
