What else are they gonna say. i just hope its a good one.

Mayweather will show his greatness.

This isnt the fight we all wanted. This is more like Leonard - Duran 3. Both clearly past their best.

This maybe true, past their best but STILL both are the best and winners against anyone u can think of in their division.

[ChickenTikka]

They both will respect each other more during the course of the fight itself. close UD either way I think is the likely result

Well they certainly aren't the same.

I'd be a fool to argue that they are. They certainly aren't the same springy legs he used to dart in and out against Corrales but they still move well.

mayweather never underestimates any opponent.that phase is part of his intellegence.pacquiao has never seen what he is facing may 2nd.

He doesn't, he just take even the slightest chance they have, or get all the advantages in his favor.

Another brainless fool who believes the brainless myth. He was never a power puncher or KO artist at 147. Go look at his record at 147. He had to bee sting Oscar to death and the Cotto fight was a cumulative stoppage. Using drama queen CAP's in your writing is not helping push out your mindless drivel.

Those guys are like parrots, they repeat what they hear from their owners. I asked them parrots before how many times did Manny put his opponents to sleep vice TKO and no one can answer me. He couldn't even put David Diaz to sleep and he is there for the taking (135 lbs). Cotto was KD twice and wobbled multiple times but stayed on his feet (145 lbs), Oscar quit through accumulations of punishments and Nacho wisely stopped the carnage. Marquez was put down on his butt 5 times and still couldn't finish him off. All of this Manny was knocking people out were spoken by the Mayweathers and repeated by their parrots.

I remember the Tyson and Lewis fight, Lewis jabbed and straight Tyson all day at his range, as soon as Tyson got close, Lewis locked him, leaned on him and tired him out. Soon the ref break, rinse and repeat till Tyson went down. That is what Pac is facing.

Yep, Floyd's height and weight advantage over Manny is so ridiculous. He's reach advantage cannot be neutralized coz Freddie will just train Manny to just get inside and try to hit Floyd.

As if Manny will just stand in front of him and try to box Floyd throughout the fight. Only thing I agree with you is Floyd will definitely grab Manny when he gets close and locked him. You're comparison between the Lewis/Tyson and May/Pac shows your lack of boxing knowledge and just spewing nonsense to make yourself to believe that it's that's easy for May. 5 years of ducking and you think it's that easy? Even your boy Floyd knows that is not true.

Ranting up on Ustream,
Money acting like a fool.
Talking 'bout Pac has never fought anyone like him,
Floyd got it twisted.

They followed the words of a crackhead and believed the myth. I mean, how bad is that, following the words of a crackhead.....well that's what some did which is hilarious. And they followed it without verifying on boxrec which proves it was a myth.

Ugh, did you see the Canelo fight? Granted Pac's footwork and movement is a trillion times better than Canelo's but Floyd moved in and out all night without a single problem. To say his legs are shot is absolutely ridiculous.

The Canelo fight? ancient history. Did you see the Madianna fight? Prime floyd would have never been touched up by Madianna's wild shots. Thing is...when a fighter of floyd's Calibre CAN they avoid bigger stronger lumoxes (said tongue in cheek I don't think madianna is a lumox) with their feet. They never get in a situation where they take shots against the ropes because they move before they can be put there. Prime example: Hatton rushing in to pin Floyd and the check hook. The check hook required Floyd to time the rush, move out of the way...the actual punch was gravy.

The real question is can Manny be fleet of foot? Has he lost a step? He is smaller and could do some good things with mobility and clean punching. Especially as a southpaw. Let me put it this way...If floyd would have fought the version of Hatton he fought when he fought Madianna....it would have been an interesting fight.

this fight is impossible to predict. I don't mind eating crow if I can see a logical outcome but there are so many possible scenerios! Most, not all outcomes favor Floyd...about a 2 to 1 ratio, as usual Vegas has it right. The only thing i would bet is that this fight will go the distance, Floyd hasn't KOEd anyone in a longtime and Pac is too small to put floyd down and out.
