    This Pacquiao Mayweather mega fight is going to be a let down. Pacquiao supporters will want him to attack and man handle Mayweather while the Mayweather followers will expect him to pick apart Pacquiao as he comes in and out box him. The truth of it is that Pacquiao will have to make an adjustment to catch Mayweather and Mayweather will not trade or give Pacquiao a chance to get to him. Mayweather will win a UD in a criminally overhyped and sub par performance. Mayweather has been shutting down aggressors for his entire career. There is nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't excite any fans. I personally like watching both guys, but I don't have the heart to watch Pacquiao go all out against a man who mastered the art of ducking and dodging inside and outside of the ring. I personally think Cotto vs Pacquiao was a big enough fight for us to throw Pac's name into the ring for an ATG. If Floyd can beat Mosley or show everyone that he is a valid warrior and actually fight Pacquiao for a real win, then we can start looking at him in that light too. I just think there is way too much money and too much to lose for Mayweather to make this fight into the classic it could have been. I am not slamming mayweather or pacquiao, don't tell me how much you love either one, I don't care, I'm just expressing my opinion on a thing that happens in boxing every so often that we can't overlook. A mega fight mismatch.

    It doesnt matter how you win as long as you win

    Excitement is a distant second in a boxers aims when he gets in the ring

    so all these hopkins, mayweather, winky and whoever else is boring threads mean nothing because they only win because they are better

    I don't expect a great fight either. Their styles contradict each other. i hope I am wrong, though.

    How was the delahoya-b-hop fight a letdown? Delahoya was actually winning the fight until he got KO with a body shot. You must be thinking of the trinidad-bhop fight where hopkins dominated the fight.

    Anyways i like how pac is the underdog in this fight cuz he fights better when the whole world except pacfans think he is gonna lose.
