I was really worried that we'd never get the chance to see this and we'd have to wonder forever what would have happened but now, we don't. This can't be a bad fight, not possible, so people just shut up. If you are a legit boxing fan, you will suck in every second of this fight and appreciate the chess game inside the ring that this will be. This isn't going to be Ward/Gatti or Bradley/Provodnikov because these two guys actually have defensive skills..

I do see these two throwing less punches per round than the average Welterweight contest but its going to be because the pressure is going to be so great. Tactical, Skillful, Measured, that's what this will be about. I'm in Manny's corner but I do have him as a severe underdog in this one. Floyd is twice the counter puncher that JMM is and we all know how bad Manny struggled. But I do wonder about the Southpaw and Speed factor that Manny presents to Floyd. Bob Arum, the blowhard, promoted Floyd for over 10 years and did say that Floyd's team was very stern about Arum not putting Floyd in with any Southpaws or above average speed.



We'll read about all sorts of garbage like above in the next few months. I do wish that the people crying about the pricetag of the PPV and how boring it's going to be, would shut up and watch soccer. This is going to be a great night regardless.

If how much money the fight is going to make is your only concern, then fair enough, but I believe most fight fans don't give a stuff about such things.

They should have fought five + years ago, without doubt & had they done so, they'd probably be on their 3rd meeting now & seeing as money is what is most important; how much would three massive superfights have netted by now?

I shall certainly be watching it, no doubt, but I & I believe that many other reserve the right to bitch, whine & complain to our heart's content about the fact that these two & the clowns that control them have denied us the opportunity to see them square off when they were still in their primes.

Is it unreasonable to believe that this could be the most disappointing fight in the sports’ history?

How on earth can a fight involving two near middle-aged men, who have both failed to score a legitimate KO in the last five years, possibly warrant the hype that it has received?

My expectation for this fight, in terms of excitement, is going to be quite low indeed!

I've been saying for over a year now that Golovkin is the pfp king, in his prime and knocking mw's out without even trying. On one hand Floyd Pac are pfp 1 & 2 yet on the other are well past it?
