mayweather v paquiao

[Badhusker]

There you have it folks. The boxrec poll clearly shows Pac would win the fight, so no need to pursue it any further. :idea: Floyd doesn't deserve to share the same ring with Pacquiao...he is just too old and shot.

[IKSRTFO]

2 years ago I was picking Floyd over Pac but in the past year or so Floyd has gradually slipped. After the KO loss to JMM, Pac improved his defensive skills & relies more now on his speed than his power. Pac wins now but clearcut but competitive decision.

Be careful...You might be labeled a Pactard to those who haven't been on this board as long as others.

[IKSRTFO]

Funny, that it used to be reverse. The longer Pacquiao waits, the clearer Floyd wins but it's turning out to be the opposite.

lol, its like Manny has never been KTFO or looked ten times worst than Floyd in that first fight with Tim (which he shoulda won obviously, but still looked like dogsh!t in & its not like that is ancient history exactly).

Well if people get excited & hyped about this fight AGAIN & with it being a fair fight that could go either way fair enough. The issue with Floyd has never been how threatening his opponent is on Saturday night its how "not sh!t" they are on Sunday morning & that wouldn't change here either imho.

Beating Tim Bradley >>>>>>>>>Beating Maidana.

Maidana only got lucky because he beat a hypejob in Broner.

Beating Tim Bradley >>>>>>>>>Beating Maidana..

Sure fair enough, but what I mean has nothing to do with the quality of win. He fought like a minute a round in that fight. Thats the relative point I'm bringing up. If he does that vs most top ten guys he loses. If Manny fought one minute rounds vs last Saturday or last Cinco de Mayo Marcos he'd have lost, no question in my mind. The Tim Bradley I version of Manny loses to a lot of guys. Definitely Floyd to say the least.

And Floyd did the same thing with Maidana especially in the first fight he spent stretches of time without doing anything. While Pacquiao has tightened up his boxing skills, Floyd seemed to decline or as you guys like to say, "wants to give the fans a good show."


It's not definite that one beats the other but they're a lot closer and neck to neck than others including you want to believe

I can't believe more people on here think Pacquiao would beat Mayweather. People are talking about father time hitting Mayweather, but Pac Man isn't the same as three years ago, he is no longer that unstoppable force. It would be a great fight, but Mayweather would still come out on top.

No, he's a better boxer and Mayweather isn't an unstoppable force neither. People bring up Pacquiao losing. Pacquiao losing to a future hall of famer but has dominated Maidana level fighters.

Idek wtf you are going on about @ this point. I'm talking about this thing over here & you keep going into the corner with your agenda or w/e kinda sh!t. Fair enough, but yea neither guy is what they once were so yea theres that.

Then his next fight should be quick &/or one sided cuz Chris shouldn't be carrying Marcos' jock strap.

I think the biggest problem for Manny lately is he's lost his passion for the sport to some degree. Two of Manny's strength's has been his power & passion, but he ain't stopped a guy in 5 years & idk that he seems that motivated these days. He's still an exceptional boxer so he'll beat most top ten guys on cruise control on most nights, but he's gonna be 36 soon & this is a young guys sport. Same has been said about Floyd. He turns 38 before his next fight. You aren't going to be the man you were @ 21, 25, 30, 32 in this kinda sport forever.
