    I'm more concerned about the judges. This group are Ford prodigies who think that a fighter can lose every measurable metric of a round and still win the round because of ring generalship.

    Ford and his Vegas acolytes actually believed that Bradley won that fight. They are that bad.

    Not at all.

    Pacman doesn't fight on the inside and clinch for long periods of time like Maidana does. This fight should be very easy for anyone to referee, let alone arguably the best ref in the game today.

    Aside from the forearm Mayweather likes to utilize from time to time on his opponents neck area, neither guy is what you'd classify as a dirty fighter. Shouldn't be hard at all to ref.

    Floyd mentions that as an A-side, he has to choose the ref and the judges just like what oscar did to him. So it's from Floyd's own mouth that he picked the ref and judges being the A-side. Yes, from Floyd's own mouth.

    Doesn't matter who the ref is, pac won't fight in close and try and rough mayweather up. he'll come in with fast combos and get out, so the ref here is irrelevant. Pac****s will moan without even contemplating the way manny fights though because they just love moaning.

    I've always felt that Mayweather held the upper hand, and more so now as i believe Manny has slipped a lot over the last couple of years, but i can still see this ending in controversy.

    One judge in particular seems to have been involved in some questionable scores, on more than one occasion previously.
