    Same here.

    Not sure where the TS seem to get that idea. I for one is am a Pac fan, but I still highly favor Floyd to win.

    Well Mayweather has been gone and Manny is the new hot thing right now. It's only natural. IF Mayweather clears out JMM impressively (and he should), expect Floyd to be the hot thing and everyone to pick Foyd to KO Pac before 5.

    Which is another problem with boxing, too much personal feelings and "falvour of the month" **** going on. People need to judge a fight based on a boxers skill, weight, natural advantages and recent form,not their personal behaviour, past record, superficial arguments, or attitude.

    I think Manny will win, but I consider myself as being in the minority. I think it'll generally come as a huge upset when Pac triumphs over Floyd.

    There was a poll here a while back, and Manny was the clear favorite to win.

    i hear you.

    but considering the clash of styles its tough not to give the edge to mayweather whom after all is the best tech fighter in the business not to mention the overall physical advantage.

    dont get me wrong scar, not only will i be in attendance live but i'm riding with manny.

    To be fair what's the point in being a fan if you can't make rash stupid decisions based on yer emotions?

    Well that only counts when its one of your real favourites fighting, or someone from your home country, but still, some fighters are supported simply because of the hype and spin put on their careers, I think a true boxing fan should be able to look past that and judge it on what skills they see in that fighter. I would never box like Tyson or Pacquiao or declare them even close to any of my favourite boxersin my mental list but I can see what was and is effective and great about them.

    EDIT: oops I didn't finish. BUT I would never at this point say Pacquiao is more skilled than Mayweather. Never. But if they fight, let's see, I'm open minded about these things.

    What the hell sites are you going to. Just about everyone I know is picking Floyd.
