    I can't think of a fight I've ever wanted to see more than this match up.

    Either way whoever comes out of it victorious will go down as a true legend.

    This will be a boring fight. Mayweather will do his usual borefest.

    can we all agree trainers are really overrated? roach thinks he is fighting in the ring, he better check himself and realize he latched his star onto the right wagon, SRR 's trainer never found much success after him either, neither did dundee after ali, its about the talent in the ring not the trainer, the trainer adds to it yes, but roach definately overestimates himself as does roger mayweather

    Pac has a cvhance to win obviously but i cant see a KO. Mayweather is the best defensive fighter in the game.

    When they were both 19, PBF was 131 and Pac was 112.

    When they were each 24 years old, Pac fought at 120 lbs. PBF fought at 130.

    So, maybe as they aged, PBF was like 1.5 or so divisions above Pac. Not like David vs Goliath, but there is a difference in mass. Not to mention reach.

    Is it a circus freak show fight? No. But you saw what happened with PBF-JMM.

    The only way i see Pac beating Floyd is by outworking him. Throwing more punches and being active...

    so far

    Mayweather simply doesn't have the power to effect Pacman. I love me some Mayweather and I love me some Pacman, you may refer to me as a ******* from now on, I just don't see Mayweather doing all that great against Pacman. The fight is all wrong for Mayweather, and would probably be a mostly boring fight with Mayweather running most of the fight.

    I'll say it here, maybe I'm the first to say it. Mayweather will never fight Pacman. He can't out wait Pacman as he's the older fighter, and that 0 means a great deal to Mayweather. He'll probably negotiate the fight but will demand way to much and the fight will never occur.

    He is just goading him, and trying to trying make room for negotiating the purse.

    In a straight-up sense, I agree with this.

    But PBF does have the ability to hurt Pac, I think, with a check-hook-type shot that Pac doesn't see. I can see him hurting Pac with that kind of thing. And if he hurts Pac, I don't see why he couldn't finish him.
