Get around Manny.
I think supporting the bloke who isn't a cocky a$$hole is getting pretty popular ;D

@Riotchess, do you think Floyd really wants this fight? Seems to me he just couldn't avoid Manny any longer - no one wanted to see him fight anyone else and this is going to be the richest fight in boxing history. If he loses, he still makes a shower load and I think he cares more about that than the quality of his opponent.

Floyd thinks he's going to walk right over Manny. Not sure you can have that mindset. Pacman is elite.
cmon think about what ur saying... he isnt going to be pressured into any fight for money or public opinion, "he needs to be undefeated" more so than he needs a dollar or wants to please anyone, any fighter that becomes champion and retires undefeated is going to be rated extremely highly regardless of "ducking fights, hand picking opponents" the record is everything.
Trust me when i say he believes absolutely he is going to pick apart Manny, whether he does or doesnt he chose to fight Pacman and when a fighter handpicks his opponents as carefully as he does u gotta know he knows something...

He also thinks he's better than Ali...

He's one of the best businessman in the history of sports but I reckon he's taken overrating himself a step too far this time. Do you think a loss to Pac hurts his legacy more than never fighting him? I'm not sure.

RiOtChEsS

The loss would hurt more, in 10 years time the best a boxing analyst can do is say 'he would have lost a fight if' then he has more than protected his legacy.
Nobody says that Tysons fights were 'Fixed' anymore but that was always a huge speculation in the 90's, the controversy fades away over time and the greatness is what is remembered.
Speaking of greatness how do you think any of the previous great HW champions would stack up against Klitchko?

IMO Tyson in his prime would've destroyed Klitchko.
Klitchko has admitted that he had trouble hitting guys with good agility.
Tyson had awesome movement and could get in close to lessen the reach advantage Klitchko would've had over him.

Jay

Yep ageed. Tyson would destroy him. But is he the best since Tyson? I'm not sure...

easy.  Lewis in his prime was a much better and more complete fighter than Klitchko, and IMO had better competition than Klitchko.
he was a smart fighter always using he reach to his advantage. He'd jab your eyes till they bled or they closed up.

GUN.

Depends when the undercard fights finish man. Earliest is probably about 12:30 and latest about 2.

Biggest fight since Mohammad Ali was still going around or watch the Saints get flogged ;)
