    With all the interviews, articles, videos, media/workout day, professional ****ysis/opinions etc going around I was wondering if anyone has changed their position on what they think the outcome of the fight will be. At first I thought it was 70%-30% in favor of Floyd but it seems as if Manny is really going all out and he's coming into the fight well prepared. I still give the edge to Floyd but now I'm thinking its around 55%-45% or maybe even 50/50.

    Holyfield sure as hell did and it didn't take him long. Literally 80% of Pacquiao fans(the same ones that were barking Mayweather is scared) are confidently picking against him.

    As fight night comes closer people will always have doubts. I think Floyd will win but I could see Pacquiao taking this one. Then I remember how average he looked vs Bradley... but Mayweather looked like **** against Maidana soooo... tough call.

    Nope.

    I think Manny will win the "fight" clearly, but will lose/draw the decision.

    When the fight was announced it thought Pacquiao would win a very close fight, now i think Pacquiao will win this clearly!

    If it goes 12rds Manny will have landed much, much more than FMJ.
    That's pretty much a guarantee.

    The counters FMJ lands will have to do some serious damage for them to win him rounds.
    I think some of the judges will reward him rounds just for 10 counters to Manny's 30-40 flurries per round.

    Its going to be that type of fight.

    All I want to see is a 100% fair fight with no unfair advantages to either fighter. Then the legitimate best man on the night getting his hand raised as the winner.
    Will I get that??? Knowing Floyd/Vegas history maybe its a pipe dream but I can hope. Remember the world is watching Vegas!!!!!!

    I always thought Mayweather would win but now I'm sure that he is evidently on the juice. :-(


    However in my mind the fight will always be a no contest because of PEDs and the real welterweight battle for supremacy comes later that month between The Special One: Kell Brook and Funtime Frankie Gavin. :nod

    pretty much how i see it if the best versions of both turn up it wiill so damn close and when its close for 12 rounds you have favour floyd doing just enough to win it with his accuracy and defence

    i hope they both look great would be such a let down if one of them came in looking awful i want to see a close fight

    You can't see a fair fight from a biased eye.

    Obvious troll is obvious. Frankie Gavin needs to be KO'd into retirement for the sake of humanity. Arguably the most boring boxer of all time
