    Shane stated that if pac fought Mayweather Floyd wins easily but if it's that Pac that had super human strength the one Cotto margarito Oscar and hatton fought. Floyd gets knocked out.

    Floyd Mayweather via social media: 'Fight Not Floyd Mayweather via social media: 'Fight Not Made yet'Made yet'

    By Kevin Iole

    Boxing

    The celebrity gossip website TMZ sent social media into a frenzy on Friday when it erroneously reported that a deal had been reached to pit Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao against each other.

    Insiders representing both fighters laughed the TMZ report off. Though progress had been made throughout the week, sources say rather than moving forward on Friday, it was a backward step. But the most definitive denial came Saturday from Mayweather via his Shots account.

    Mayweather used the hash tag "FightNotMadeYet" to deny the TMZ report.

    That was about as emphatic as it could be, and it confirmed what numerous sources have told Yahoo Sports.
    There are substantial issues to be resolved between both Showtime, which has Mayweather under contract, and HBO, which has an exclusive deal with Pacquiao. One source said an impasse in those talks is HBO's insistence on being able to show the replay of the pay-per-view. When the networks worked out a deal in 2002 to broadcast the Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis fight, they agreed to give the replay to the network of the fighter who won. Lewis stopped Tyson and so HBO showed the replay.

    But accourding to a source with knowledge of the situation, that issue has yet to be resolved for a potential Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.

    There also remain issues on the promotional end of the deal, though it is not entirely clear what those issues are exactly.

    But much work remains to be done, according to persons involved in the talks on both sides, and the earliest at best an announcement could come would be late in the coming week. More likely, if the fight is made, talks will spill over into the middle of the following week.

    Many of the terms have been agreed upon, including a split feed of the bout in which both Showtime and HBO talent would be involved. The fight is being targeted for May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

    :lol:

    Cotto, Margarito, and Oscar all said Pac's power was decent and surprising, but not the deciding factor. Not a single guy Pac has faced has said his power was devastating, unreal, mindblowing, etc.. Even Diaz said the power was not the issue.

    :lol:

    Styles make fights. According to your logic Marquez knocked out Pacquiao therefore Mayweather knocks Pacquiao out faster than Marquez because Mayweather beat the hell out of Marquez. Boxing doesnt work like that, Mayweathers style is all wrong for Pacquiao he is no Maidana who was a big strong fighter and weighed much more than Floyd. Pac is smaller than Mayweather I think Mayweather will outbox him

    The version of JMM that Floyd fought was fat and slow and coming up 2 weight classes. Pac would have stopped that version and rather easily.

    The III and IV version of JMM was that of a hulking, roid monster.

    :patsch

    Besides, JMM is a certified elite, P4Per, and ATG. Marcos, notsomuch.

    Sad to say, I think you are right. I thought all along he was just trying to block the Cotto-Canelo fight. Even if the fight gets signed somehow, I feel like he will come up with some kind of injury in training or something like that to get out of it.

    Typical Floyd. Being a businessman first, a fighter second.
