    Fight night weights were not this....Floyd put on far more weight after the weigh in than JMM being the natrually bigger man....and I ddin't even talk about physical demensions that Floyd held nice advantages in as well. I'm not complaining at all. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Some people get uncomfortable with that but this is real talk. Floyd skills were also a major factor, but had that fight been 3 yrs earlier 3 weight divisions lower and we wouldn't see Floyd haveing the sparring session we saw a few months back.

    Man this is hype. After this fight we will really see. FMJ has faced a ton of guys who were "on top" when they fought him. After... Baldomir, DLH, Hatton. They all looked horrible and faded away. I think this fight will show how much of it was FMJ or if the hype is real.

    And even if that is the case....PAC fighting one armed past it used up guys like you say......that is still 10 times better than the kind of opposition Floyd has been fighting for the past 8 yrs.:lol::lol::lol:

    Floyd is a great boxer...I'm sure he'll do well and potentially win a razor close decision....but it won't be easy. Styles make fights and the fact Floyd is a cautious fighter by nature it's difficult to beat a guy so technically sound and defensive witht he talent of Floyd....PAC doesn't have an easy job....but neither does Floyd.

    :yep
    Exactly the reason why the TS' opinion is just as good as the rest of the posters. Its all speculative until the final results. Really, no use trying to look more educated or learned.

    Yeah. Tyson was just no joke, but I do see your point though. He had issues with guys who were not scared and stayed on script.

    Kess was just hype. I was so unimpressed when I saw him fight Joe C. I was like this guy is who everyone is hyped about? This guy? I thought he was toast when he came to the States. Much like Hatton.

    Funny thing, with Floyd fans downplaying Pac's skills and achievements, they downplaying the best name in Floyd's resume should he win. It's like they're saying the best fighter he's ever beaten isn't really special.

    At least the *******s and Pac fans recognize the skill and talent of Floyd and know that a win over Floyd would be a huge boost to Pac's already incredible resume.

    Oh yeah, he'll be in there with Floyd. I mean Manny's in real trouble when you consider Floyd has fought the best WW's like Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Margo.... oh, nevermind.

    ask Floyd first to sign the contract first before you spit out your useless speculation.

    This is a hilariously uneducated person. You will be bummed out when you see mayweather neutralize pacman handily. Sorry dude, I'm not black or from Michigan. I just have a human brain in my head.

    Pacquiao has tremendous skills. Floyd is better.

    that may be the case, and that's a fair assessment from a Floyd fan so I won't argue that since it's exactly the sort of statement that can only be verified inside the ring. What get's to me is the people who still continue to call Pac a hype job and still have time to sneer at what Pac has done, trying to act like it isn't significant at all. That's just hating.
