You are right, they are old yet the young ones like Canelo, Victor Ottis, T Bradley etc can't put them down. The issue is not this amazing fighters, the issue is boxing not producing their equals.

Get Wladimir Klitschko to retire first before heavy weight boxing die finally.

I watched Floyd Mayweather deal with Canelo Alvaris

Floyd is a fighter..

Long over due fight!! This fight could have been perfect 4/5 years ago when pacquiao was unbeaten.

Now how many fans still crave this fight? I'm really shocked at the purse on offer for the fight, $120 million for 36 minutes work at most, I will gladly take on Pacquiao for that amount of money grin

This is ridiculous, it's no longer about the pugilist art, it's now about the money and I have a feeling fans are going to be massively disappointed with that fight. Floyd is likely to turn up in his usual boring defensive style and duck for twelve rounds ultimately leaving the score cards to decide the winner.

Pacquiao already had losses 5 years ago before the most recent one where Marquez put him to sleep like a little baby lying in the crib.
