Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Mayweather Will Win Controversial Decision

[Evol]

Just a while ago B-Hop predicted an easy victory for Mayweather. He has changed his tune. I think that might be because his prediction of Pascal beating Kovalev was quite off, and now he wants to revise his next prediction.

Ex fighters can be good commentators. B-Hop did a good job in that broadcast, but their predictive abilities are no better than many people who only watch as spectators. Sometimes not as good. Mayweather isn't going to dominate this fight. Mayweather's fans are far more confident than he is. They are reliving his glory days of 8 years ago or more in their minds.

His more recent fights are well below dominant. This could possibly be a tough fight to score with Pacquiao being more the aggressor, but I think Pacquiao will win an uncontroversial decision. Only to the Mayweather fans will it be so.

i've said this before, past and current fighters dont want to pick manny because on paper, floyd beats the crap out of pac. so the smart thing to do would be to pick floyd. because if they go and pick manny even though everything on paper shows that floyd has all the advantages.

and if floyd ends up beating manny then those people's creditbility would go out the window and nobody would wanna ask them for their opinion on any fights anymore. this is why b-hop now switches his stance after already saying floyd will beat manny and quite easily too and now he's saying floyd will win but by controversial.

This fight will depend on Pacman, not Floyd. Floyd will do what he does. If Pacman can muster the stamina of old and set a blistering pace and get moving in weird angles and firing a hundred punches a round and not get shy every time Floyd counters Floyd won't win.

Pacman has the speed to match. But his stamina isn't what it was. If he can get it back, he can win. I hope he does, but i don't see him operating well when he starts to get countered. If Roach can get him to understand that it's going to happen and it doesn't sway him, well then........................

whattt?????? so floyd aint gonna box pac's ears off like what bradley was suppose to do??

Come fight night, if Floyd is Floyd and PAC is PAC this should be cherry pickin for Mayweather. All the maybe talk and that PAC can roll back the clock is wishful thinkers. It'll make good for betting. But once PAC realize he fighting a strong, experience man he'll secumb & dissapoint all.

I love Bhop but he's proven to be as bad as Teddy Atlas when it comes to picking fights

Pac has a zero chance. Floyd is not Algieri or Bradley, nor is he Rios. Pac is facing the Lineal Welter and Superwelter Champ. Hope he's makes it interesting.

I agree with BHop regarding controversy. I expect Floyd to do a lot of diving in with the lead right, then grabbing and pushing. If Manny's footwork is on point I wouldn't be surprised if he looked like Zab did the first 4 rounds of the Mayweather fight.

And Floyd has never faced a fighter like Pacquiao..it goes both ways whether you like it or hate it.

And since when has Pacquiao ever had stamina issues? That's asinine.
The only thing Pac hasn't shown in awhile is his explosiveness throughout the fight.

Pac's a high energy fighter who's never faded in a fight due to stamina, you must be thinking of Canelo.
Pacman has the speed if not more than Floyd... has the footwork to catch Floyd.
Question is, will Floyd bring his aggression against Pac? Or will he fight too defensively relying on his pot shots...which won't be enough to stop Pac.

he has been taking rounds off lately maybe thats what they are talking about, he picks his spots now as opposed to fighting like that the whole fight. whoever can make the better adjustemts will in. pac will have his moments we will see how floyd adjust. and if he does we will see if pac has a plan b and c to pull out the victory
