    Yes

    Imagine the amount of GOAT/TBE threads we'll have to deal with for the rest of time if Floyd wins?

    Manny will be hell for Floyd, you all will see. Cherry picks are Canelo, Maidana, Guerrero etc... not speedy southpaws with stamina that can punch and are aggressive

    now as far as floyd, he's not bad for boxing, he's good for boxing. He would even be better for boxing if he were a better role model. Remember, this dude beat up women, how can that be good for boxing? maybe he's changed and he has changed but Pacquiao is just a role model for aspiring boxers. Manny winning would be better for boxing, more people will pay attention to him and recognize his humbleness and appreciate his exciting style. Floyd brings a lot to the sport but Manny winning would be a better outcome for the sport than Floyd winning.

    The fight actually happening is good for boxing. I was really getting a bit bored of the top 2 of certain divisions not being matched up. The best 2 in a division should be made to fight and even more so they should WANT to fight each other.

    I dont think the outcome of the fight has any bearing on the sport at all. But if the fight didnt happen then that would be BAD for the sport.

    I agree with this. I like both fighters. But would just like to see what happens if Floyd loses. How he would handle it. Like you said, it would be the bigger story. In that sense it would be "good for boxing", not that Floyd is a "bad role model".

    I am sure there is a rematch clause if FMJ is to lose and I doubt it applies Manny loses. Would be interesting to see what will happen to him should he lose.
