    I am not going to claim to be a boxing expert. I don't even post much on this site, i read it because my brother does all the time.

    It just seems to me Manny's entire claim to fame and following is based around the HOPE that he can beat Mayweather.

    Like there is always an excuse as to why it's ok this dude wouldn't take a drug test or why he looked like he lost vs a dude Mayweather beat handidly after a 21 month layoff.

    Could manny beat floyd? sure, i don't think it will hapen but sure it could. However the reality is there really isn't much to say it's anything more than hope. Mayweather is one of the best fighters ever to lace up a set of gloves. He is also one of the MOST arrogant, self-promoting, loud mouths ever to be in the sport. People want guys like that to lose. So they come up with these super long scenarious, and hopes about why he would lose to this guy and that guy.

    They say ridiculous things like an undefeated fighter who has been boxing his whole life is afraid of a smaller guy coming up in weight. The vast majority of manny's recent wins have all be against guy's Floyd has already beat. That doesn't mean Pac can't win or that Mayweather will def win but nothing really points to Pac being better or even a the best challenger other than the hope of many people who just want to see May lose.
