    Finally I feel the anticipation setting in, it's been more like the last ten days or so but at least it's here. I think for it's been a combination of Freddie's claim that Pac will be trying to win rounds, I don't think that will happen but I do believe it will make for a better fight. Pac trying to go gung ho and KO Floyd would have made him that much more susceptible to being out boxed. Also, Pac is looking in great shape, and I have always believed he stands a better chance now more than ever for various reasons. I'm just glad I'm finally getting hyped for the fight.

    Honestly, I don't even really give a ****. It's kind of waste of time and life unless you're extremely wealthy and don't have anything else better to do.

    I'm not very hyped anymore. I've been inundated with too much boxing and the majority of the fights have been disappointments.

    Oh stop! Follow the schedule, you'll get hype. I promise! This is a once in a lifetime event, and it's finally here! Soak it in. This is a fight that'll be remembered. The way I ask my dad if he watched Tyson and Lewis, that'll be the way my future kids will ask me about Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    Go to the ESPN link I gave under Websites. Just go through and start watching all the Mayweather/Pacquiao stuff. Or, go to youtube and watch a ton of Mayweather trash talk videos and Pacquiao interviews about them never fighting. Then, go through and watch their fights. As you do this, you'll realize how special this is! I still can't believe it!

    Are you still picking Pacquiao or are you upset that he may lose?

    Aint no one got time for this ****. Unless you started watching boxing recently it just gets redundant. Who are you picking btw? Are you still trying to be neutral?

    Uhm, this is the fight of the century. I want to drown myself in everything because it may be the only time I'll ever experience a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight week.

    For my pic, I'll do my long official breakdown a few days before the fight. I see a lot of possible scenarios that make my decision waver. For now, I stick with Mayweather.

    Piece you sound like you're going into depression. Are you sick to your stomach that Floyd is about to beat your idol? Are you going to give us one of your ****ty ****ysis before the fight, and try to claim that you were right somehow even if you're wrong? Remember you picked Ghonzalez over Russell, and when Russell completely obliterated your pick somehow you still tried to play it off like you were right :rofl. I wonder if you'll be man enough to just shut the fk up, and leave for good once Pac loses, and yes that includes your piece account.

    Smart pick. Mayweather will figure Manny out easily. If Marquez beat him in all 4 fights, and landed that overhand right at will which is Floyd's bread and butter, Floyd will do the same but better. If Manny was bigger, fought dirty, and went full re**** like Maidana and cheated he might have a chance. But no, he'll be shadow boxing air all night, I mean he missed against Bradley who is a volume puncher, that has complete **** defense compared to floyd, so just imagine how much air Pac will be landing. I'm sorry but your wish to see Floyd losing won't come to fruition.

    No, I'm just busy.

    There is a significant opportunity cost associated with using this site and dedicating a significant portion of your life to boxing unless the benefits outweigh the costs.

    You should just go back to pretending to be someone you're not.

    And abuffy, of course Pac could lose, but if he does, it's not the end of the world. In the grand scheme of things, this fight inconsequential.

    For abuffy, she doesn't have the same opportunity costs that you and I share because her career path involves learning the intricacies of this sport.

    I actually agree with you, ain't no one got time to watch all that bs abuffy posted, it'll just be **** we heard over and over again. Your post just sounded like you were going into depression though, saying stuff like you're not "hyped" about the fight anymore. You dedicated your life to making the most pathetic threads going full re**** on this account and your Piece account calling Floyd a chicken before the fight was made. You made posts and threads like this:
    FLOYD THINKS HE GANSTER BUT HES NOT

    I GREW UP IN THE HOOD AND IM GANSTER

    YOU THINK YOU HARD THEN TELL ME WHERE THE COMPUTERS ARE AT THE MLK LIBRARY


    :rofl:rofl

    Now that the fight is actually happening, you would think that someone like you would be hyped, but the truth is you're dreading the outcome. Answer my question. Will you be a man and admit your ****ysis was a piece of **** like usual once Floyd wins, and leave for good or will you somehow find a way to try to play it off like you were right?
