    Love him or hate him PBF can fight.

    I have watched fights hoping he would get his big mouth shut, and I have watched fights knowing he was going to win. I would have liked to see Hatton win, I was pulling for him, but in my heart I knew it was a long shot chance. PBF runs his mouth to sell fights. He has been nothing but gracious to those he has defeated in the after fight interviews.

    As far as fighting Pacquiao, he will butcher him.....Pacquiao doesn't belong in the same ring...Pacquiao's skills are maybe a top golden glove level fighter vs Mayweather being the seasoned pro.

    Neither of the options. I watch him for his great skills but I don't think he's the best though almost always, I expect him to beat the other guy.

    because as a boxing student it's a must. it would be like a jazz trumpeter not listening to miles davis. with that said i can't stand him and part of me does watch it because i'd like to see him hurt.

    I will be honest i pay in the hope he will lose,and lose by KO.It has not looked even remotely likley so far.I do think Oscar should have got the verdict a few years back though.

    This thread reminds me of the floyd-mosley fight. Mosley almost had him in the secong round. Damn, I thought he'd get KOd. Damn.

    Because I love boxing. What's wrong with that? I try to watch boxing whenever I can. Hell, on a lot of Saturdays you can catch me watching a fight between two euro-bums, I don't care.

    If Ali was like Floyd, he'd have avoided Frazier. Ali was a real champ that took on all comers. Floyd's done nothing but dodge all the top contenders since moving past 135.

    Floyd does appear to have all kinds of talent, but we don't really know how good he could've been because he refused to test himself.

    A combination of the two (the former more than the latter). He put on an amazing display against Mosley but I still jumped for joy at those right hands Shane landed.
