    There is a reason why mayweather is the favorite.....I really don't have a dog in this fight(I will support floyd over pac)...but look at the fighters strengths and weaknesses......Floyd has the advantage.....

    The only writer's in america that matter about boxing is the ones that write about it.....the mainstream sport's press doesn't consider boxing mainstream anymore.....Hell, on the ESPN web page they have tennis listed ahead of boxing...that should tell you something...

    :lol: LOL - zero game!

    He's what we call a "resume gamer:" Doesn't know how to talk with chicks except to roll out his resume and hope they just fall over themselves for it. Hey, if I were him I'd probably do the same thing. Ha ha. :good

    I saw them; they're pathetic. The funniest thing is that he's worrying in the text that she's hooking up with someone else besides him. Duh! Dude, you're married and you're worried about your mistress cheating? LOL

    He is 100% correct, Manny is the better "fighter". A fighter and a boxer are two totally different things. Michael Wilbon is not a boxing analyst. He is a spectator.
    Using strategy and athleticism to dethrone bigger men is different from beating them with speed and power. No matter the cause, Manny is the better fighter and Floyd is the better boxer.

    That's why this is an interesting fight. Will Floyd outbox Manny and regain his P4P supremacy or will Pacquiao force Floyd into a barn burner and land more clean shots than anyone has before? I say Floyd avoids the big punches and outboxes Manny.

    Who did Michael Wilbon pick in Mayweather/De La Hoya and Mayweather/Hatton?

    Mayweather plays mind games with everyone.
