    I'll believe it when both are in the ring had the referees last instructions & the bell rings...
    If it does happen all I wish for is a good clean fair fight with no ridiculous stipulations from Mayweather. Id love the fight to be anywhere BUT Vegas as sadly I do not think Manny would get a fair crack of the whip there. Thankfully Joe Cortez has retired so he wont contaminate the fight plus I hope they ban Kenny Bayless from the arena
    Heres to a good fight with the better man on the night LEGITIMATELY getting the win whichever it may be.
    Sadly we were deprived of seeing Mayweather-Paquaio in their prime but this is the best we can hope for

    It's funny that you don't mention that Floyd never lost.. You point out the style of the people who beat Manny but just assume Manny will beat an unbeaten Floyd.. To beat Floyd you need????

    Floyd would field in a new excuse. My pen was stolen, I couldn't sign.

    he's been challenged, many think he lost to castillo...

    I also feel aside from Canelo, Floyd has not fought great fighters, fighting Maidana twice was a joke.

    Pacquiao fought the toughest fighter - Bradley in recent years.

    I also think Manny's style will trouble Floyd

    47 pro fights and not one great fighter in the whole bunch except for Canelo? So according to your logic, every other man Floyd beat were nothing but bums? Or average at best.

    So I would love to hear your opinion on why Floyd is considered an ATG and future HOF. And the fact that he's been at the top of everyone's P4P list for years. How did he accomplish that with 19 years as a pro fighter and only one great fighter on his resume?

    By all means, backtrack on your blanket statement if it helps you to explain.

    only blanket statement for a Mayweather fan. Read again, i said in recent years.

    btw, name me w truly great fighter Floyd has faced in his entire career aside from De La Hoya, who by the way give him a split decision? name me one...

    Floyd has been a great fighter but even though he's 47-0, very few consider him top 5 all time, why? he hasn't fought anyone great, in his prime.

    De La Hoya faced Pernell Whitaker, Chavez Sr., Trinidad, a young Mosely in his prime (who past his prime hurt Floyd), hopkins and more... this is list is far more impressive than Floyds, again WHO?

    Hatton? Judah? old Mosely? Guerrero? Ortiz? Maidana? Gatti? Th list is definitely not impressive my man, accept it. The only truly great fighter Floyd faced as Oscar De La Hoya and it was SPLIT DECISION, and Oscar was by all accounts past his prime. I'm not sure Floyd would've beaten De La hoya when he was much younger and considered best pound for pound.

    so there you have it, the 47-0 is impressive but his opponents haven't been.

    Pacquiao's list of opponents have been similar too but in recent years, he has faced the toughest - Bradley. Who has floyd faced since Canelo? plus Canelo was unexperienced and barely beat Lara.. not sure he was that great.

    Floyd's win over Castillo, who is a far cry from pacqiao, was controversial too so not only has his list of opponents been mediocre-good (bot not great), he has had his struggles. Unlike many of you, i'm not convinced floyd is as great as he thinks he is, based on what? the big zero? nice, but bradley and algieri were also undefeated until recently, Andre Ward and golovkin too...

    I still believe Pacquiao could expose Floyd and it's one of reasons Floyd has avoided him. Remember Roy Jones? how he was so unbeatable that she even moved up to heavyweight and beat Ruiz? Tarver came along and exposed him... I believe Pacqioa could go in there and give him a beating that will shock the world, 'holy ****, Floyd was never that good, was he'

    we shall see

    so your world view doesn't allow for shades and distinctions? Someone is either 100% or 0%?
