All someone has to say to kill your whole post is "if an old slow Marquez dropped him once then ko'd then there's a pretty good chance that Floyd will win".
    It was a perfect counter shot after 42 rounds of being In the ring together. Marquez figured Pacquiao out and It was a great win but what Marquez did to Pacquiao means absolutely nothing when It comes to Mayweather vs Pacquiao. No argument when It comes to Floyds chin. He better be more concerned with how well his legs hold up. That will be a major key In this fight.

How about making an announcement stating that Pacquiao was willing to take much less than Floyd In order to make the fight a reality. See how that works? It all depends on what side of the fence you are on and what fits your agenda.

      Whats going to happen In the fight Is......... Pacquiao Is going to hit Floyd alot. Mayweather better hope his legs work and that he doesn't lay on the ropes as he did In the first Maidana fight. If he does Pacquiao will out work him and get the decision. If Floyd boxes and MOVES he wins.

      I am leaning more toward Floyd taking the decision.
      Finally someone I can talk boxing. I agree with you. Whoever work the hardest wins this fight. I always think that Manny's style is all wrong against Floyds signature defensive stance. I'm pretty sure he won't use his shoulder roll defense against Manny. He will use that high guard defense so he can shoot his straight hand and then push Manny off. But once he sit against the ropes to take a breather, Manny's punches will rain down on him.

      Floyd's jab will be negated by countering it over the top. His straight right will land on Manny's face no doubt about it. But I think Manny will counter it as well with a faster left hand. Call me crazy, but I think Manny's hands are a bit faster than Floyds.

      I just hope that father time won't catch either one of them during fight night. I don't wanna hear any excuses after the fight ends.

        You made many good points. I don't think you are crazy, Pacquiao Is just as fast as Floyd If not faster. There should be no excuses regardless of the out come.

            There would be excuses regardless of the outcome.

              I've always said that anything under 60/40 was too low, and that Pacquiao is now a star, a legend, and maybe a ATG.

              No way should he had taken anything less than 40-60 for Mayweather.
              The 40 million flat fee was always disrespectful.

                Those excuses will come from fanboys not from true boxing fans.

                  I dunno, I think it will also come from some reasonable notable names in boxing as well.

                  I mean, everyone with the exception of Dan Rafeal on ESPN have some how hinted at some kinda excuse.

                  Rather it be 5 years too late, or Pac is now caught up in religion.

                    Yep Manny is real smart , Floyd now getting 60/40 is the one that benefited on Mannys smartness .

                    Mannys fans think like donkeys .
                    So now you're a Financial Advisor too?

                    You do realize that during the time it was offered, the economy was is a bad state. Millions of people lost their job, therefor they wouldn't make as much as they would right now.

                      Arum has a habit for overselling everything and his own delusions for grandeur.

                      If he's saying that the fight will sell 4m-5m buys, the actual projections by the numbers folks are probably around 2.5m-3m
