freshcvv: Goodness Gracious Me!. Are you trying to change the outcome of that bout of what? Or do the words "DRAW" and "LOST" sound similar to you? |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Caveatemptor(m): 5:32pm On May 02, 2015 |
This fight is five years late. If this bout took place five years ago I would have confidently backed Manny to win but five years down the line the Pacman is slower,weaker and more venerable. Floyd Mayweather on the other hand is unbeaten and I personally feel he is stronger and faster than he was five years ago. In all honesty I want the Pacman to win this fight but my mind tells me Moneyman will take this quite easily on points. I just feel he will be too clever for Manny. Expecting an anti climax of a boxing bout. It will not be pretty with lots of clinches. Money man to take it on points...just. |

SirShymexx:Wetin I do now? I don't follow sports like I used to, but I won't honestly mind watching this fight. Used to be a big wrestling fan, but haven't really watched any recently. Once in a while, I watch UFC - it seems purer, 2 guys one ring, no storyline, just a good old fashioned beat down. 1 Like |

can someone tell me the match time please |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 5:49pm On May 02, 2015 |
cao: Nothing - just saying you should come drop some jewel and take one for the female-team. Equality for all. UFC is decent, just old fashioned kick-boxing on steroids but I like the fact that women are active in the sport, especially the Iron Lady, Ronda Rousey. I watch it whenever I'm utter bored - but it can never be like the sweet and supreme science of boxing. Even despite all the publicity, and the fact that boxing is on a decline - it's yet to out-muscle boxing. Lol. Wrestling used to be my thing as well - you just can't go wrong with WWE every Saturday morning. But I started losing interest after I saw the legendary flopper, the great Ric Flair, do this (lool): 1 Like |

chic2pimp: Prince Naseem!!!!!!!! |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 5:55pm On May 02, 2015 |
chic2pimp: I don't dislike him - I just think he talks too much. Especially for a guy who gets knocked out by bums all the time. I actually thought he was a great prospect when he was coming up, till Prescott knocked him out. Gave him another shot - and Garcia knocked him out again. Then I became indifferent about the guy. At least Prince Naseem was fun to watch and he was a warrior. He actually won a few big fights till Barrera, in his prime, came calling. He never recovered from that. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by chic2pimp(m): 5:56pm On May 02, 2015 |
Nihilist: Yesss bruda!. Loved him to bits. Till this day, I insist He was ill prepared for the barrera fight. |

chic2pimp: That guy is a legend in Steel City. I used to train at Bomber Harris's gym off Shoreham road just behind Bramall Lane...and he would come in from time to time. I remember a story about him knocking out an opponent and rushing back to town to DJ at a gig. Legend |

Boxing is losing its flare to UFC... Cos of the likes of mayweather who claims to be undefeated ... If you follow boxing you will see that out of the 47 wins he had ... The real fight was just around 25real opponent while the rest are just joke. Mayweather Jr. Selects fight he must win and when he can't win he goes to 12round boring orthodoxy type of unnanimous decision win. Manny paquao is a more sensational fighter who is not afraid of losing... Had real fights and throw in ponches at will. REASONS WHY I THINK MAYWEATHER WILL WIN 1. His master of his hiding styles and it makes it difficult to beat him with is defensive approach. 2. Boxing is already dead and gone in the USA as it were in the past when they produce the best boxers at heavyweight division... The US will do all to make sure they remain relevant in the sports by making sure mayweather provided he can just hide till 12 rounds is over. 3. Betting companies will influence the fight with the odd high on mannyman than mayweather.. 4. Connected African American community: With likes of 50cent gambling $1.6m, Piddy 1.2million, jazzy 1m, Rick Ross $1m, king James, Kobe Bryant and host of others who placed a bet REASONS WHY MANNYMAN MAY WIN 1. If mayweather loses , the sports will make more more money because mayweather will ask for the rematch... Just as Evanda holyfield said " no man is undefeated in boxing because that's how the sport survives, I think mayweather will be defeated not just because of his poor boring fight buy because the sport need to make more money... Because a re match from mayweather will generate close to $600m... So its business as usual" 2. Mannyman is a sensational fighter with more will and not afraid to lose. 3. Legends in the boxing world thinks mannyman is a better fighter than mayweather..... According to mike Tyson he said " mayweather will be hit and hurt the way he never seen before because he is not a good fighter, he has never fought someone with movement , speed and sensational like mannyman... If his likes are in heavyweight division during my time ... I will knock him out in third round because I will go on dirty.. I will go for his ribs his shoulders before I kill him off.. He is a master of boring 12 round fight" Finally I pray mannyman wins 4 Likes |

SirShymexx: I understand how you feel man. He talks the talk but hardly ever backs it up. Still a decent fighter though. Not on the Floyd/Manny level but still good nonetheless. Methinks He should fight Kell Brook first. He was ill prepared for that fight Bro. Heard his training camp leading up to that fight was nothing to write home about plus his army of entourage He had around were nothing short of a distraction. |

Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by cao(f): 6:21pm On May 02, 2015 |
SirShymexx:For WWE, I grew older, discovered the stories were fake, then I no longer had access to them, so it just faded away. Don't knock UFC though, I watched the UFC event that had Joanna Jędrzejczyk beat the s*** out of Carla Esparza - she broke that woman, practically stopped all Carla's grapples (except one), countered the woman's moves and then KO-ed her with one brutal punch. I honestly rewound that s*** back 'cause I was confused about why the match had ended. Carla went in with her light make-up and colourful hair, by the time it was time for the winner's announcement, ol' girl looked very different. |

Nihilist: Oh boy I don forget say u be Proper Sheffield Ol' boy . No surprises there Bro. What's there not to like about him? Brash,cocky,arrogant and backed it up with one sublime performance after another. Him and Roy Jones JR were my dons . You lucky sod. Did you get any pictures taken or did you have any memobrilia autographed? Chei why did I not know you back then o? Yh that's the Ahmed I know. Absolute LEGEND mate |

princejayboss: Yh Right. Apart from hardcore UFC fans, how many people can name two UFC fighters without the help of google? |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by roymary: 6:32pm On May 02, 2015 |
Manny wins this one!!! He won't brawl recklessly (even though Floyd has no KO power). When Floyd sees Punches emerging from unimaginable angles- He will understand what time it is. Wow!!! Lets do this Manny!!! All hail Pacman- The Peoples Champion. |

chic2pimp: Yes that is in Nigeria that people don't know just like the way we don't know nothing about NFL but people are crazy about this sports in north America, south America , Asia etc .... |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 6:50pm On May 02, 2015 |
chic2pimp: Lol. Just excuses, bruddah. Great amateur boxer - but that glass jaw isn't made for professional boxing. That's the same way Chisora always run his mouth, acting like some bad man - but every time it's time to put his money where his mouth is, he never lives up to the hype. Heck, even when they turned the press conference in which he had a fight with David Haye into street fight - his ar.se still got whooped, talking about he bottled him and how he's going to shoot David Haye. His bummy ar.se also got knocked out cold when the two got in the ring. Khan needs to fight Kell Brook and see if he can fight Broner. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by chic2pimp(m): 6:51pm On May 02, 2015 |
princejayboss: As much as I love the NFL, i have to admit it's still mainly an American sport. Don't get me wrong though, the fan base in other countries are growing on a daily basis. The same can be said of the UFC. It's mostly loved by the hardcore fans in those regions. Any sport CAN have Hardcore loyalists, it's nothing new. I'd start to take it serious as a threat to the noble sport when it starts to command even a quarter of Boxing's audience. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 6:56pm On May 02, 2015 |
cao: WWE broke loads of people's hearts. Thought it was real as well - but Ric Flair got me all confused and shiit. But still great, and part of childhood memories. The Rock used to be my guy (saw him in FF7 and he's still as crazy as ever - looking supremely dench lol). Lol. Never heard those names - the only folks from UFC I know are: Kimbo Slice, Rampage, Anderson Silva, Dragon, and Jon Jones. Darn! I'm guessing you're tough as well...so I might have to shout you any time I need protection. |

Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by 50calibre(m): 7:10pm On May 02, 2015 |
SirShymexx: I tell ya! the guy is being cast as the villain which is actually having a very nice effect on his wallet as lots of people pay for the opportunity to see him lose which never happens. I don't really understand why there's so much fuss about his assault conviction, the guy has served his time, why cant they just let him be. The media has a way of unfairly persecuting male stars when it comes to issues relating to women, without actually giving the men the benefit of doubt.. i just don't get it. What if Al-Haymon dies? The same thing happened to Tyson (Who by the way earned more than Floyd has earned so far) when his trainer and manager died, exposing him to wolves like Don King. Anyway i think the times have changed a lot, athletes are smarter these days. Lol Im sure you'd agree with me that Floyd and Ali are not quite in the same league. Ali was an all-round champion, a man of the people, he was great in and out of the ring, he was a voice for black people and one of the first people to restore black pride however i cant say the same of Floyd, his greatness is confined to the ring, he hasn't really used done anything outside the ring. Even Pacquiao is seen as a national hero in the Philippines as a result of all the good work he's done to help the poor. What about Miguel Cotto? Pacquiao had a better showing against him than Floyd did, he totally restructured his face whereas floyd couldnt even hurt him. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 7:14pm On May 02, 2015 |
roymary: Like I said earlier: I'm not into UFC - I only watch it when I'm bored (mostly on Worldstar). So I wouldn't know much, apart from seeing his fights. I don't even know how the officiating works. I just listed all the fighters I've seen a few times and are always out there on sport channels. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by airmark(m): 7:20pm On May 02, 2015 |
Pacman's new look for tonight's bout. Floyd should watchout, it's grit for grit.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 7:28pm On May 02, 2015 |
50calibre: Media will always find a nonconfirmist to be a villain, especially if it can generate interests based on star-power. And Mayweather is a perfect fit for that "thug" narrative. You'd imagine that if a boxer, whose hand is a weapon - were to assault someone (especially a woman), there will be pictures of bruises and swollen faces. However, in this case - there's none, just verbal complaints. Al Haymon the ghost can't die (joking lol). Al Haymon isn't that old - and he has a solid structure, so if Mayweather doesn't go nuts and leave that camp - he should be good. And apart from gambling and maybe spending lavishly on women, he doesn't get involve in too many vices unlike other people. He doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs. Lol @ Ali. Muhammed Ali wasn't a saint. Yes, he was a great fighter who talked big and backed it up, but he did so many bad things. He psychologically destroyed Joe Frazier forever by publicly making him look like an Uncle Tom. Ditto how he publicly embarrassed George Foreman. He dissed Malcolm X. Said so many crazy things etc.. The media never liked Ali back then - he just became a media darling after the Parkinson's disease. Yes, Ali broke barriers racially/culturally - but he wasn't a saint as well. And when you compare the two eras - you can't really blame Mayweather for his approach. Mayweather moved out of his own comfort zone and weight class to Cotto in his comfort zone and normal weight class - Pacman fought him at catch-weight, all drained up. Peep the difference. 1 Like |

Anyone who loves boxing should google this Nigerian nyggah: Ike Ibeabuchi. After beating Chris Byrd and David Tua - he was destined to be the next big heavyweight boxer and would've been a hall of famer (that was how great he was), till women destroyed his life. He should still be in US prison right now. They just wasted his talents - women done destroy too many people, I tell ya. 1 Like |
