    that's the thing, this fight is unpredictable. Neither fighter has ever come close to facing the quality each other has so there is a big unknown here.

    On one hand, Pac can do something totally unexpected and just absolutely school Floyd. He may be too fast, too busy and too awkward for Floyd and not only win, but totally dominate the fight.

    On the other hand, Floyd may totally dominate the fight too. He may start landing the right hand with speed Pac is no used to and keep his distance, making Pac look indequate.

    it's unpredictable when you have two fighters with such raw talent and skill in a ring.

    Bradley beats Guerrero IMO. Everything else = correct.

    Maybe. I'm just saying it isn't a guarantee for him and I think that's actually a tough fight for Tim.

    Robert is no push over.

    Agreed. Floyd would have "boxed the $hit outta Manny" five years ago.

    On Saturday, I think he's going to have to turn the clock back some though. Manny Pacquiao has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He's coming to win.

    Ocsar wasn't as drained as Diego Corrales who failed to make weight vs floyd and had to go to do a 90 minute sauna session to lose the pounds to make weight.

    So we can always look for excuses and excuses.

    How about Floyd forcing Maidana not to wear his gloves before first fight? Maidana later complained he felt the gloves he used were like pillows?

    so again, we can dream up excses after excuses...

    I stated an actual fact (which was defined by Freddie Roach himself). Oscar was severely drained when he fought Pac. Pac kicked his a$$, but he didn't "expose" $hit.

    I can't wait until Saturday. If Pac loses, it'll interesting to see your behavior, considering what you claim to be "excuses". Don't make any this weekend if Pac loses the fight.

    A lot of posters here do. I hope the trolls leave the site after this weekend's events.

    Nice stats. Even though stats don't always tell the story, those are pretty strong.

    Just trying to keep it real. I know that's not the end all, be all, of an argument about why somebody will win or lose, but it certainly is revealing if you want to judge "who has been fighting stiffer competition" as of late.

    Maybe some people don't feel "strength of schedule" matters much, but I certainly believe it has bearing when assessing performances.

    Not exactly but Ledwaba was probably the closest. Theye weren't giving Manny any chance as they praised Ledwaba's boxing skills... until the bell rang.
