Please explain WHERE is manny gonna get his Power to KO floyd when he hasnt had any in the past 5- 6 years. WHERE has #48 KO power been for half a decade? Somebody answer this, where has his supposed power went since he's been doing drug testing? And dont give me that BS that he is fighting true welters now as the reason why he no longer has KO power(cause floyd is a welter that has never been KO'd) WHERE HAS HIS POWER GONE?

I hope Manny makes Floyd dig deep and pull out everything to win. I hope these two fighters bring the best out of one another. I truly truly do.

SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER WHERE HAS #48'S POWER WENT, HE'S NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT SINCE HE'S BEEN DOING TESTING. WHERE?
WHEN BASEBALL STARTED TESTING, #'S WENT DOWN FOR A REASON, MANNY STARTED DOING TESTING AND HIS #'S WENT DOWN FOR A REASON. AND WITHOUT HIS "POWER" ITS A BOXING MATCH AND he caNT BEAT FLOYD BY USING HIS BOXING ABILITY.

Man, I hope they keep the fans in mind during the fight and we get something like a hearns vs hagler. I'd probably end up having a heart attack tho, if it turns out to be that kind of fight. The best thing that could happen is pac wins the first 3 or 4 rounds because that's about how long it takes for Floyd to figure dudes out, and then picks up the pace because he's behind in the score Cards. I would love for Floyd to be the aggressor And actually be more offensive. It's not his game but I think they both know, their legacies are on their line here, therefore I think both will try to impress and give their all. Both are warriors in their own way. May the best man win!!

why this is such an interesting fight:
-Floyd is naturally bigger, taller and has 5 inch reach advantage. He has superior ring iq and possibly the best reflexes in the game. I believe he has the power to hurt pac but not with one punch. His counter punching is second to none along with his accuracy, and obviously defense. Best defensive fighter of ALL time.However Floyd needs to UP his work rate and punch out put to win this fight. I could see pac outworking him with volume punching even if most of them don't hit. People will go nuts with every flurry pac throws.
-On the other hand, Floyd has not fought anyone in a very long time with the speed combined with descent power of pac. Pac is very tricky and awkward. Very hard to get prepared for someone like pac. His weird angles and southpaw style will be a problem for Floyd in my opinion. Floyd won't be used to the speed of them punches coming at him, so it will take a few rounds to adjust. Pac is very explosive so he can catch Floyd with some thing( this is boxing, afterall. Anything can happen). Pacs footwork is also elite, but I do question if he could cut off the ring against floyd. If not, he's in for a long night. And I think pacs overall down fall will be that, he has no inside game what so ever and I could see $$ roughing him up and smothering him.
two more months guys, and all speculations and questions will be answered. Can't fking wait!

Floyd will put on a hell of a performance.

Wish Manny the best. But he'll need Momma Potter in his corner launching hexes and whatnot.

Can everyone just agree that both fighters have always wanted the fight and that politics has just gotten in the way before and be happy it's here?

I can agree with most of this, but part of me will always think Floyd was a bit worried in previous negotiations. I'm just happy they're fighting now to finally put this to rest. There shouldn't really be any excuses from either side. They were both better a few years ago but not enough to make a big difference for this fight.

Whoever wins this fight will be going down as the best fighter of this generation. It also helps both their legacies win, lose, or draw.

I think he'll have to. In my opinion his greatest win so far has been over Cotto since Cotto is himself a HoF fighter. In that fight Floyd came out and remained pretty aggressive throughout. I think against Pacquiao he'll definitely have to pick up his pace to get the W.

I wonder what face Floyd will pull when he finds himself with his ass on the canvas, looking up at the ref as he begins his count.

I can't wait to see Floyd on the rope with his face roll back with his eyes closed like he got hit by a snowball .

[richardt]

Its over for manny, he's just gonna be a scalp for up and comming fighters #48 is gonna be finished. He will be admitting that floyd is the better man and boxer

Actually, with the money he makes, he will be able to afford 100 guys like you to carry his spit bucket for him against anyone he fights after Floyd.
