Floyd Mayweather

[Bill Manspeaker]

ahh flowers sake... just realised it's Sunday.

Saints play Sunday.

why WHY WHY

any idea what time the fight will be on in Australia?

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 ;)

latest 2!! we start at 3  ;D ;D

i'm with Pac-man because I've been told that Mayweather is a wife beater ...  >:(   :P

Yeah he spent a couple of months in jail for domestic violence  :-X #thug

haha its not a 'who is the better person contest' ;D Floyd is a little prick but he wins this fight and he TKO/KO's Manny late :-X

Never said it was ;) if we see prime Manny Pacquiao on Sunday I think he does enough to overpower Floyd in the early rounds, particularly with his quickness. Floyd as he always does will adjust but I still think Manny will be able to steal a few rounds purely based on being the more active fighter. These two at their peak, I'm 100% confident in Pacquiao but since that Marquez KO Manny hasn't been as good. But I'll back him to win a split decision.

Floyd hasn't knocked anyone out in years. Don't think he packs enough in his punches anymore.

Agreed. Most likely Floyd will go for a points victory.
If anyone is getting a KO it's Manny

“Manny’s not the puncher that he was six years ago,” Atlas tells Breitbart Sports. “He’s not even as big physically. You figure out why. I don’t know. There’s a distinct difference in the Manny of six years ago and the Manny now.”
Pacquiao last knocked out an opponent ten fights and five-and-a-half-years ago. -Teddy Atlas

Do u like the bold text? rekn Teddy is taking a shot at Manny for refusing the drug test Floyd requested way back...

Yep that's certainly a shot... But remember in his last fight he had 6 knockdowns! He's still aggressive as ever and bound to sting Floyd a few times.

Possibly the lack of physicality is just due to him not having the motivation to fight guys like Algeri and Bradley who are relative no-names compared to Floyd. Manny's wanted this fight for ages and he's finally getting it - whatever he's got left I'm sure he'll give it Sunday.

Also are we sure Floyd is still the defensive wizard he was 5 years ago? Alvarez and Maidana caught him a couple of times, which just doesn't usually happen to Floyd.

I see it going down like this, first two rounds Manny takes his shots, over the next 8 rounds Floyd establishes his range and frustrates Manny with his elusiveness, knowing he will lose if he doesn't KO Floyd he becomes desperate and that is when Floyd catches him and finishes the fight

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Seems very hard to evaluate who's in good form since they fight like twice a year. It's a 50-50 fight I reckon.

[RiOtChEsS]

i would be utterly astounded if Manny won, that said im up for being "utterly astounded"

ha, ha! sorry Marcz, should've put a 'smiley face' at the end ... I just don't know a lot about these two apart from knowing this is one of the biggest superfights in boxing since Ali v Frazier (??) fight ...

so given that, i'm with Pacman even though my mate who follows a bit more closely says that Oscar De le Hoya said that where the two are unlikely to knock each other out, Mayweather's contract is with MGM and being fought in his house, so without ODH crying conspiracy he's just indicating that judging/scoring is likely to favour Mayweather ...

I knew there was a reason I moved from boxing to MMA ... at least the UFC tries to 'make' things look fair!   ;)

haha yeah was just stirring :D Floyd has a 5 inch reach advantage, i dont believe he needs to rig the fight ;)

[RiOtChEsS]

There are a few of my mates getting so emotional about this fight because Floyd is a little prick, its as if they are picking Manny to win because he is such a 'good guy' and Floyd is basically a butthole ???
