    Every boxing website i go to,im always reading Mayweather will lose to Pacquiao,every comment i read says Manny will expose Floyd,every prediction i read,writers are even saying dat Manny Pacquiao will KO Floyd if they were to have a fight,i have yet to see anybody writing dat Floyd would beat Paquiao,why is everybody so sure of Manny beating Mayweather? Why isnt anybody giving Floyd a chance agianst him? I believe Floyd had a very good chance of beating Manny Pacquiao!!

    Eh?!

    All of the Mayweather fans and most of the neutrals in this forum seem very, very, VERY confident that Floyd will shut Manny out.

    Probably because it's the first "even money" type of fight Floyd has had since Corrales, and people are pumped up about it. But anyone who says Floyd has "no chance" is completely out of their mind. Pending how he looks against Marquez, he should still be favored slightly.

    youre paying too much attention to idiots. Most knowledgeable people have Floyd as the favourite

    He has a great chance, the fight is 50/50 according to many people. Don't pay attention to idiots here who thought DLH/Pac is a circus show.

    It was. Just because Pac saved the day doesn't make it less of a circus act.

    **** Barnum N Bailey is a circus act but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

    It wasn't a circus man and I always said so before the fight, people just didn't want to buy into it. Even Bert Sugar couldn't help but laugh at people who said it's a circus.

    I'm sticking with 50/50 even if reality disagrees. Pacquiao is not one to underestimate regardless of whatever bull**** people will try to bring up in this one.

    To me it was and always will be. There's a reason if someone said "Hey let's have Vernon Forrest vs Juan Diaz" that person would be beaten over the head with something heavy.

    Pac just managed to save the day.

    I like both guys, Manny even more as a person, but on a boxing level, most people pick Mayweather. I for one think he is almost certain to win.
