    Don't get the hate for this fight. I like it, especially because it's an actual pro fight.

    I think the appeal comes down to - Will Floyd finally lose? It'll be the most vulnerable he's been at that age. His speed and reflexes won't be the same.

    Additionally, Pac looked pretty good against Barrios and has been more active against top opposition. Barrios has a good chin, Manny's punches will have more effect on Floyd. And if Floyd really has slowed down enough then Manny might catch him. I'm keen to see what happens!

    I hear Floyd is going to fight Pac and Iron Mike at the same time, just to make it more challenging this time.

    Both of these dudes are older than me, but I feel like their drama has aged me to their level.

    Call me nuts, but I'm looking forward to it. Manny still looked sharp and easily beat Barrios, an actual boxer, as opposed to the carnival sideshow acts Mayweather has been involving himself in. So he should have enough to beat Floyd and even though it won't mean as much now, it'll give Mayweather that -1 on his record, making it officially imperfect. While that might seem tragic, **** him! He did everything in his power to age and wait Manny out, to score a cheap win... well now Manny is returning the favor.:sisi1

    I hope Floyd loses just so I can say he never did have the makings of a varsity athlete.


    Brittle hands. That was his problem.

    Manny has a history of getting robbed on the cards. Against Floyd in Vegas, it pains me to say that he will need a KO or 10 dominant rounds. I don't think that 9 dominant rounds will give him the nod. Call me a pessimist, but this is what boxing has done to me.

    Punching with an open palm tends to lead to hand injuries, funny how so many pro boxers never figure this out.

    Unfortunately, that's also a distinct possibility and my one glaring concern.:ohno

    PACs been what? He fought in 2021 and 2025. He’s been inactive, not active.

    11 years too late but I’ll take it! This is going to be a massive event for NETFLIX, bigger than that farce that was Paul-Tyson.

    Maybe after this we might get another Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran fight.

    Floyd is broke that’s why he’s been shilling for Israel, appearing on news stations, to get money from them
