Do you think there's more pressure on Floyd to win this fight

I think most of the pressure is on him.



If he loses this then he shouldn't be ashamed of it but he has a reputation to keep. He wants to keep the 0 and to win this from a legacy standpoint. I think to prove a lot of the doubters wrong.

I think Pacquiao wants to win for legacy, too. But i think he's very happy for the big pay day. I don't think there's that much pressure on him. Win or lose he will have proved his merit.

I think the mass majority are making Mayweather the favourite. All the boxing experts, ex boxers, pundits,...etc... are mostly picking Mayweather.


I might be wrong but i think the majority of the pressure of this fight is on Floyd.


I just don't see as much pressure on Pacquiao because he's lost and i feel he will take more risks to get the knockout in turn putting himself in danger.



I think Pacquiao has a bit of an edge but that may all change come fight night.




The Mayweather fans might think i'm an idiot for stating this but it's just an opinion from a complete stranger online.

 

Its tough to say but i would lean towards more pressure on Floyd...but theres always more pressure on Floyd. there was no pressure on Cotto,Mosley,Canelo,maidana, thats how it is when your on the top of the hill

 

The thing is i think there's increased pressure because he's fighting a guy people have called for him to fight for five years now. And a dominant p4p fighter, too.


I think there's added pressure because Manny is an elite fighter like himself. This is the best guy he has faced. The same goes for Manny.

 

Of course there is more pressure on Mayweather. I don't even think it's debatable.

 

Hell yea, his zero is on the line. Pac has ko6, he's already had the worse lost you could get.

 

i dont know if thats the worse lost he can get bro. if Floyd KO's him when the whole world watches, that would be his worst lost. hell not getting KO and losing like 10-2 i would say is worse then the Marquez KO6

 

In some ways yes. Pacquiao has lost and yet he has fought so many top tier fighters with out ever suggesting to the media he's the best of all time. Mayweather has been perceived to have dodged Pacquiao and was forced into fighting him which in all honesty, could be somewhat true. He has a zero along with an image and an ego to protect and has made it a point to suggest he's the best ever and he has to live up to that self imposed title.

 

both if Pac gets clowned.
he will have let down countless pacturds .
hes the one chosen by everybody to beat Mayweather.

 

By who? He's the betting favorite and most boxing an@lysts pick him to win. Can't be everyone if that ls the case

 

by pacturds and ppl who hate duckweather

 

This is a legacy fight for both fighters, so the pressure is equally on both...

 

100% of the pressure is on Floyd. pac has zero pressure and I mean non, if there could be less than zero pressure than pac would have that.

not only is all the pressure on Floyd to win, there is tons of pressure for him to dominate and show he has something left in the tank and the chino fight (fight 1) was a fluke, off night that he managed to eek out.

how could pac have ANY pressure ? no one expects him to win, even his cult are praying he wins, non of them really think he will. when you had been defeated so many times, what is it , like 5 x and that's with a few gifts thrown his way.

with half a dozen losses and going against one of the true top ATG how could he feel any pressure. he is expected to lose and this 1 fight will set him up for a couple life times. I cant think of a fight with any true top tier fighter where they was no pressure what so ever and losing means nothing. while winning would dramatically change history and instantly you would be seen as a top ATG, just from this one accomplishment.

 

Manny is real challenge for Floyd, as he is unbeatable. He is choosy but Manny is not. Manny have lost fights, this point will make him relax.

 

retiring on your stool is the worst loss ever...

 

The "pressure," almost by principle, is always going to be on the better and favored fighter who is "supposed to win."
