    floyd hasn't done anything in the last 3 years to make this a formality.

    Yes, I do.

    Lots of people got hypnotized by this match-up. I didn't. :conf

    I know it as much as I know Floyd Mayweather vs. Jesse Feliciano wouldn't be competitive, or Manny Pacquiao vs. Jo Jo Dan wouldn't be competitive. Would you like to assume the position that either of those requires any more elaboration? They don't, really - and neither does this. Different levels, that's all.

    Huh?

    I'd say it goes like this:

    Mayweather vs Martinez
    Mayweather vs Trout
    Mayweather vs Pacquiao
    Mayweather vs Alvarez
    Mayweather vs Bradley
    Mayweather vs Guerrero
    Mayweather vs Marquez 2
    Mayweather vs Alexander
    Pacquiao vs Marquez 5

    I've never waffled on this fight and have always felt it was gonna be a Floyd clear win

    I think Pac is very good but i never thought he was on Floyd's level

    pac-floyd is way way much better than floyd-devon and floyd-ghost combined.

    Shameful nut-hugging! :bart

    This is worse than when people said Haye wouldn't be very competitive with Klitschko despite everyone's fervent insistence that he would be, and then... oh, wait...

    He beat the same mosley that mora also was competetive against.

    He beat an ortiz who lopez also beat.

    And a Cotto who trout also beat.

    Neither of these fighters were at an elite level when floyd fought them.


    he hasn't done anything of note in the last 3 years.

    I personally think he'd still dominate marquez. But pac on the other hand, he would lose to.

    There is the who, and then - more importantly - there's the how.

    If you've been watching both men for the last several years and don't see why it's a mismatch, there is no amount of convincing through logic that will cut through your Manny blinders.

    Neither has Pacquiao, then. If you want to claim "b-b-b-but, he beat Bradley! (unofficially)" then you need to also concede that he lost to Marquez twice in that span of time (once unofficially).

    Margarito (dominant)/Mosley (dominant)/Bradley (close) isn't really better than Mosley (dominant)/Ortiz (dominant)/Cotto (dominant), sorry.


    Wow, really going out on a limb! :lol:

    Nope. He wouldn't have lost to Pac any time since this was first conceived, and CERTAINLY not in 2013.

    Good fight but...
    Lets not act like it will be an easy fight to negotiate.
    (Just cause Pac got KTFO don't mean his popularity has dropped)

    TR will still demand the same amount of $.
    TMT will defo be demanding more on their side now.

    Non negotiable.

    Floyd himself fought this was a competetive fight.

    He decided that Pac is only as good as he is because he was on drugs that meant bullets would bounce off him.

    So its funny how some fans don't think this fight will be competetive when floyd himself obviously thinks it would be.

    Otherwise he wouldnt have asked for extra testing. He'd have just fought him and beat him in a very easy win, that also paid him more money and enhanced his legacy than any other fight in his history.

    nobody knows what would happen cause the ****in fight never happened. i'd honestly favor floyd, to say it wouldnt be competitive though please. either way they can both suck my dick. imagine hagler hearns never happening, imagine walcott charles never happening. fighters fight n its a disrespect to the game n the fight fans period.

    i just think floyds style against southpaws. Walking forward with a high guard, would be perfect for manny.

    :lol: That old chestnut.

    It's Pac who's tailor-made to be countered with Floyd's best weapon. :deal (see Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV)
