    We all anticipated this fight for nearly 6 years...the possibility exist this could be a snoozer....what you think?

    Or they will leave caution to the win and become a Hagler v. Hesrns ....or Castillo vs Corrales , or a Ali vs Frazier I or III...

    Mayweather will not throw caution to the wind unless hes in real trouble in there.

    I cant see this going down as a classic fight but the magnitude of it will certainly keep it absolutly enthralling.

    I don't think Floyd would have a conscience problem cruising to a boring UD if he could.

    if floyd has steam on his punches manny might not pressure him like he should
    which i think might happen due to mayweather natural size advantage. however pac usually fights better vs bigger opponents but mayweather really isnt much bigger. theres alot of skill in the ring i dont think it will be boring it should be good

    especially because there older but still very skilled boxer .. we might have sum dull moments maybe 3 or 4 rds thats a little boring but were gonna have sum good action moments no doubt.

    The thing is, his legs aren't really there anymore to run for 12 rounds, so he will have to trade a lot more. I think it will be an enthralling fight.
     
  7. I personally think it will be a fight for the ages. There's a reason Floyd avoided Pacquiao for so long. We could see a situation where Floyd mentally breaks down and I think Pacquiao's gonna win decisively.

    Any fight Floyd is in has the potential to be a snoozer. He will not put his life on the line like Ali-Frazier, Hagler-Hearns etc... I'm not saying he should, but that is how those guys fought

    Quite possibly.

    The magnitude of the fight is what will made it tense and exciting, the fight itself could well end up being dull

    It will be a massive anti-climax.

    After round 7, I'm certain it will be anti-climactic.

    The first four rounds should be good

    If Mayweather is victorious his detractors will claim that it was a boring fight no matter how close the contest is.

    Could be a snoozefest but I hope not.
