    One of Floyd Mayweathers answers to people who says he is afraid to fight Pacquiao is, Why would you want to see a coward fight?
    In the David Haye vs Kilictkofight we both seen very cautious men fighting, more so David Haye who tottaly threw boxing out the door and just looked for one big shot occasionally but spent most of the time in retreat mode.
    What if Mayweather was afraid of Pacquiao and we got a fight that looked much the same as Haye Klitschko or Pacquiao Mosley would it still be worth all that has been put into the fight?

    No way that happens. Haye really hasnt showed anything his whole career to be compared to Pacquiao or Mayweather. Pac-Floyd would not be like that, they both fight and have great skills

    Very good point, and completely possible outcome.

    I could see Pac saying, **** it, and going balls out if he thinks he's behind.

    I could also see Floyd finding any mistake Pac makes and exploiting it to win a close decision. He is probably the best at ad******g his game plan on the fly.

    I totally, completely agree with this. Once again, we would have a mega-fight hyped to the rafters that would leave the general, casual public completely unsatisfied.

    wow, so far its pretty unanimous that this is going to be a crap fight? Is this due to a David Haye effect meaning that his fight was so bad it kinda turns you off from boxing or mega fights? Or is it that this fight has been hyped up way out of proportion and the over hype will negatively effect the fight in one form or another?

    I don't think it will be crap

    Both are excellent boxers, it's hard for it to be crap, some people may think FLoyds style is boring I for one do not in the slightest

    I didn't think Haye/Wlad would be crap either but I thought it would play out how it did, both fighters being cautious and a 12 round fight that went to a Wide UD for Wlad

    All this so and so is getting knocked out stuff was ridiculous, sounds good pre-fight but considering both fighters careers was never going to be the reality

    But then I'm not a guy who has to see multiple kd's to think a fight is good
