Ralphlauren: I think the fight will happen, the money on that fight is next to this MayPac. I don't think Money want to retire without such money and to be honest after this fight, Amir Kahn is the next for Floyd and I think Amir Kahn has earned it. |

Ralphlauren: You guessed right, big bruddah. Never bet against the Champ, especially the first ballot hall of famer, who honed and perfected the sweet science of boxing. Gave it life and pimped it to become the richest boxer ever, in an era when the heavyweight division is dead (hopefully young Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua, the naija don will revive it). If you love boxing, you'll want Mayweather to retire without any blemish. Boxing has never seen anyone like him. The took Pernell Whitaker's defensive genius to the next level. Perfected Toney's counter-punching. And with the ring genius and intelligence of Muhammed Ali. Thank God he fought in my generation cos of the dearth of great boxers. Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson are still the greatest though. |

Truth234: I really rated Khan when I first saw him at Manchester 2002 Commonwealth games. He was lightning quick then, and he's even quicker now. On his day, he puts on a clinic in the ring. He controls the ring very well, and knows how to use the angles. He's so confident in his skin, that he's sometimes happy to surrender the centre, and destroy his opponent from the outside(Zab Judah 2011). His major problems are over-confidence(He's good...but not as good as he thinks) and most importantly....THAT GLASS JAW. That lack of chin means that he'll never be considered a great. Which is rather unfortunate...cos he has almost everything else in his locker |

SirShymexx: A lot of people including myself thought the same but there's no proof of that though. Mayweather camp was unable to provide any evidence of doping when pacqiao dragged him court. The Pacquiao of 2009/2010 had to be terrifying to any boxer, he was a freak who overwhelmed his opponents with so many punches they couldn't see. Mayweather is a smart business man, he avoids taking unnecessary risks. As supremely intelligent and defensive as he is, facing Pacquiao back then was an unnecessary risk hence he ducked him all these years by setting unrealistic pre-fight conditions. Floyd had no choice but to take this fight. His numerous pre-fight conditions were met, he wants to retire without having the Pacquiao question hanging over his head, and Pacquiao is obviously not the same fighter he was 5 years ago....... So it's perfect timing for floyd. Most people are backing floyd to win and rightfully so, the guy is a ring general however the will of Pacquiao shouldn't be underestimated, he's wanted this fight for years and don't be surprised if we see a resurrection of the old Pacquiao. Its hard to predict the outcome of this fight, anything could happen but floyd is no knockout artist, he doesn't have the punching power like Marquez & Pacquiao, so in my opinion I don't see floyd winning by KO. |

Truth234: Earned for pay check and because they are both managed by Al Haymon the ghost. On pure boxing talent - Khan definitely doesn't deserve it. I actually thought he was going to retire after Garcia knocked him out cos if Roach couldn't fix his glass jaw, I thought no one would be able to. But I must admit, Virgil Hunter has done a great job thus far to revive his career...but Khan is just there, nothing special. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by chic2pimp(m): 2:33pm On May 02, 2015 |
Truth234: Definitely Bro........ Too close to call. I was pretty much sitting on the fence with regards to who i'd like to win. But been leaning towards Prettyboy recently because most apart from a couple want him to get knocked out. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Nihilist: 2:35pm On May 02, 2015 |
chic2pimp: Money MOST DEFINITELY doesn't want to trade with Pac. We already know that Pac is going to coming swinging, cutting the lanes, and trying to get in. Floyd senior is ready for this and announced that Money is going to try and end it early.My money is on Counter punch KO in the 4th,5th or 6th. I dey go barb my hair and collect my suit. Man is watching this one suited and booted. no time |

SirShymexx: SMH ! Did you just say Khan does not deserve it? If your view was right- Floyd would have fought Khan long ago- Khan will generate a huge PPV in the UK. Khan has only one flaw- The glass/weak chin. His hand speed is outta this planet- When Floyd gets exposed tonight- he will finally fight Khan cos we at PacWorld won't give him a rematch. |

Nihilist: The weak chin is his problem but Kahn has power too look at his body shot that dropped Maidana in the very first round. He is even better now and he deserve that Mayweather fighter, though I agree his not on the same level with Mayweather and Pacquiao but he is the third on P4P list. Rio is not even in top 10 yet he got a shot against Manny. I think the fight will happen. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Nihilist: 2:40pm On May 02, 2015 |
No bigger bank for Floyd than Pacman. If Floyd loses today, a rubber is all but guaranteed If the fight is close, a rubber is practically guaranteed. Amir Khan cannot bring the PPV sales that Pac can bring. Only Harcdcore fans know who Amir is outside the UK 1 Like |

chic2pimp: Styles makes fight- A southpaw boxer is a huge problem and when you have a boxer like Pacman with unimaginable punching angles and awesome footwork with devastating left hook- you are in for a hell of a night. WHen PAcman got knocked out by Marquez, Manny was winning that damn fight- he got too reckless and was caught. Every boxer has a bad day and i guess that was his- Tonight Floyd will kiss the canvass- he couldn't handpick Manny. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Nihilist: 2:42pm On May 02, 2015 |
Truth234: Money has just one fight left on his Showtime contract after this...and I suspect it's going to be a rematch...or he retires. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 2:43pm On May 02, 2015 |
50calibre: Pacman was juicing up back then cos it's difficult to move up in weight (to different weight classes) and still retain the same power. Hence he gave excuses about not liking needles. Since his conditioner left him, how many people has he knocked out? And he looks more vulnerable than ever. It's actually perfect timing for both. Mayweather needs the fight to cement his legacy and add a few hundreds of millions to his almost $300 million net worth, and he's going to retire in September, after his last fight. Pacman is broke - he owes Uncle Sam $75 million, so he needs the money. The old Pacman is gone - it left him after he stopped juicing up and Marquez knocked him out cold. He shouldn't get too aggressive, else, he'll be knocked out cold again. I don't even think the fight will be as close as most think, trust me. This is Pacman: |

SirShymexx: But can you compare Kahn to Maidana, Victor Ortis, Rio, Algier, Broner etc he is better than them and yet they got their fat pay check against Manny and Floyd. People just like to disrespect him, Rio and Algier were not proven by A list fighters when they got their shots. Abeg make una let Kahn earn this fat paycheck before him retire o. 1 Like |

roymary: I alluded to the UK, but outside the UK, how many people want to see Khan? And I don't think Mayweather wants to fight in London - so they can rob him like they did Andre Dirrell. Hand speed, especially, when you slap with the forehand most times is nothing. That's what a counter-puncher like Mayweather wants - perfect meal to feast one. And with the glass jaw - just one punch should take him out. I don't rate Amir Khan - he talks too much, man. |

Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Nihilist: 2:50pm On May 02, 2015 |
roymary: Southpaws are also very open to jabs, as it comes on the opposite side of their leading hand. Aggressive southpaws also have to watch out for walking in to a straight, as they lean in for a power punch with their left . Agreed, the southpaw stance can be unnerving to an opponent who is not used to it,but there are also some serious gaps open for the taking to an experiencied fighter 1 Like |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Nobody: 2:51pm On May 02, 2015 |
This fight is not going to be predictable.I think Floyd is scared of Manny.He was giving unreasonable demands up until this point.He agreed to the fight up until this point.He choosed everything in his favour,he has the money,backing of the cabal and almost everything in the bag;but ! Manny is hungry,we all know what a hungry Manny is capable of.The only fear I have for Manny is that he's on the decline.He's not had a decent fight since Miguel. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by SirShymexx: 2:52pm On May 02, 2015 |
Truth234: Broner has never been in the ring with neither Manny nor Flyod. Today's Maidana should knock Amir Khan out - even the raw Maidana he fought back then rocked him a few times and would've knocked him out, if not for the ref. Mayweather fought Maidana cos he earned it by beating Broner. Victor Ortis earned it by fighting like a warrior and defeating undefeated Andre Berto (back then). As for the rest, they were poor fighters handpicked for Manny. Perhaps, he needs to fight Manny. He's qualified |
