    Mayweather fans should be happy about this- Floyd does great work when he feels like he's being disrespected, and the bigger the monster Pac's built up to be, the more credit Floyd will get should he win.

    I'm ecstatic to see the fight already getting hyped like it is. Provided nobody gets derailed going into it, it's going to be the biggest fight in years.

    The first shot that rocked Hatton was so short and quick I didn't even see it thrown. I was like what the F is Ricky doing on the ground? OH **** he's actually hurt! I mean most guys that throw that fast don't hit with power. Pac sits down on his punches and they are still blinding fast. So yeah he's faster then SLR. If you tried to tell me that I'd be saying that two or three years ago I'd laugh my ass off.

    ESPN is not to be taking seriously when it comes to boxing

    I dont know about one or two punch speed though, maybe combos. But people can see the left but still couldnt stop the damn thing. Everyone has basically said that on film Pac doesnt seem that fast but real life speed hes a surprise for everyone.

    Like I said Ray is one of my faves so I wont argue much about it

    I do take with what ESPN has to say most of the time with a grain of salt but remember that this is the outlet most people go to for their sports coverage. The more they talk boxing the better.

    Sugar Ray Leonard had more power and more hand speed them PAcquiao. Leonard overwhelmed Hearns, Pacquiao overwhelmed ****ing Hatton. No comparison.

    Skip Bayless is a ****ing idiot he alway makes outlandish claims like that for every sport. He has no credibility and is a hack. What he fails to realize is that PBF could very well pot-shot his way to a win by doing just what's he's talking about.

    Nothing Skip Bayless says surprises me anymore. The man is nothing more than a rabble rouser, e.g., he contended that Dwight Howard's elbow did not hit the Philadelphia player.

    What was more unexpected is that Detroit's own Rob Parker basically agreed with him that Pacquiao would win. I figured there'd be some Michigan support.

    Agreed, it's all about the present.

    I am actually I hope Manny is the favorite as well so I can make a mint. Most people are blinded by spectacular KOS but neglect all the other more important things in boxing like defense, footwork, countering and ring IQ. The novice fight fan doesn't see these things and therefor can't appreciate them.:deal

    Skip knows more about facial soap than he knows about boxing.
