    They don't. It was made purely for money and to milk Shane's new contract, make no mistake. Manny legitimately stopping Shane period would be impressive though. Say what you want about the holes in his game but he can take a punch and then some. This fight is going to be real competitive for about 2-3 rounds.

    even if pacquiao fought well for a few rounds and then got hurt badly... it could only enhance his legacy.

    Hopkins is old.
    Seriously, I wouldn't give a **** in Pacquiao can beat that old wind bag.

    Exactly, Pac could seriously just outspeed the old man for 12. Hell, i'd make that match if I was Roach and Arum if Hopkins manages to win his next two :lol:

    Mayweather is so risk-averse he may not be willing to fight Manny unless he beats Shane on a split.
     
  12. hes top 10 p4p mayweathers only fought a couple of times in the last few years manny would destroy him right now, you cant do that especially with floyds style, beating floyd is only a bit more impressive as beating mosley

    Is it now ? Many here think the exact opposite.
