    you had never once made a mature rebuttal to someone who has made a point based on fact or an educated opinion for that matter

    i wonder if you forget the pass to all your accounts or do they all share the same ? prob seems more logical.

    Pacquiao wins. Floyd is not very confident it seems. Floyd's action shows it.

    To all Floyd's fans who really believe in him, cheer him up and tell him to prove it!

    Bradley was in better shape against Pacquiao compared to a drained Alvarez against Mayweather. :deal

    My god. Everything is a debate with you dickheads. The thread says nothing about why the fight didnt happen, or whos to blame. It says, "Do you think Pac can beat Floyd" Thats it. Post your opinion and keep it pushin. ****.

    Pac can't beat Floyd. 117-111 for Floyd. Maybe 118-110.

    And this fight will happen. Too much money for it not to happen. I just hope there are no excuses after. On either side.

    time will tell, but as of right now i'd saw Canelo vs May was a better win not because Canelo is better than Bradley but because Canelo was promoted as the next great thing and he is a bigger household name than Bradley. The casual fan will see May's win over Canelo as a better win

    This isn't even a serious question. Floyd gave an almost flawless boxing clinic against a boxer in his physical prime. Bradley on the other hand was a fighter who was fighting with a flawed and emotional gameplan. #3 P4P status is frankly laughable. Bob arums probably given him that status. Under the golden boy camp Bradley would just about be in the top10. Mannys performance indicated he was on the decline, floyds if anything showed that defensively he's as sharp as even....even improved

    Because underneath it all it's always been arum. Arum wanted to take fight to Dallas, change the the testing criteria, change the fight date to when floyd was in hail etc etc. now mannys In a weaker negotiating position than before ( cos he wants the fight purely to pay his tax bill) mayweather has said that he'll do the fight if he leaves arum (and thus arum doesn't get a dollar of the split)
    Fair enough considering all the dicking around arums put everyone through on this whole thing.

    My vote in a close, debatable case is Mayweather winning no fewer than 9 rounds over Alvarez, the JMW lineal champion.

    Pacquiao beating Bradley is a very good win, but the difference in Bradley's WW pedigree and Alvarez's JMW pedigree is in favor of Alvarez (Bradley at JWW was a beast and his career is greater than Alvarez's, no doubt). Size is big in this direct comparison. We've already seen Alvarez bounce back great against Angulo and we'll see about Lara. Lets see what Bradley goes on to do further at the weight.

    Also, let us not discount the difference in the fight that played out when recognizing how close the quality of defeated opposition was heading into the fight. Most of Mayweather/Alvarez rounds weren't close at all and the fight is generally seen as having been 118-110 or 117-111. That wasn't the case for a good bit of Pacquiao/Bradley II and the fight is generallyy seen as having been 116-112 or 115-113.

    Both great wins. Lets watch them grow or regress in quality as ideals in retrospect can become apparent.

    Accept it man. Be an open-minded. What does making Arum bow his ass prove? So he wanted to prove the world the he will not do business with Arum. So that's it? How about telling Floyd to prove that he is the best ever? :patsch

    There's always a chance in boxing especially when two guys are as good as Pacquiao and Mayweather are. But I think that in the last five years there's been a widening gap between what was once a theoretically close fight, either because of age, fighting style, damage, or size. Pacquiao has definitely lost something while Mayweather may actually be better than he was in 2009.
