    If this is actually true then my dick will go rock hard because not only can we see this fight but its only 6 weeks after Mosley kills Berto so then Mayweather-Pacquiao can duck Mosley no longer.

    Furthermore, the fight's been hyped a **** load already. I personally know a few people who don't follow boxing AT ALL but have heard or know about this fight.

    Manny is re-entering the political ring! This might delay the much anticipated fight. On the other hand, he could use this fight for his campaign. Talk about advertisement! I'm not sure which kind of message it would send though.

    As good a technical fighter Mayweather is, I hope Manny beats his ass.

    You kiss yours goodbye.:hi: Your boy is ****ed. He's flawed he can't handle movement, a jab, or counter-punching is at a reach disadvantge comes in wild off balanced and has no jab. PBF is a stylistic nightmare for him and PBF by wide UD is the smart pick here and just like Jim Lampley says PBF by UD is the safest bet in sports.:deal

    I have yet to bring up a detailed analysis of the fight, but I already have done a bit of explaining on other threads about how I think Pac is gonna win. But here goes:

    In short, I think workrate is gonna be the deciding factor in this fight. Its not gonna the be all-end all but it will play the biggest part in this fight. I've always said that Floyd's lack of workrate will really hurt him against Manny Pacquiao and IMO will be the biggest reason for his downfall. He just doesn't have enough of an activity to make Manny back away from him.

    He's the best counter-puncher of our era I know, he has the best accuracy and is one of the fastest of both hand and foot. But throwing only 1 or 2 punches at a time? How's that gonna work? How's that gonna work against a guy who throws 3-4-5 punches at a time AND is one of the best in hitting back WHILE getting hit. Something that Floyd has little experience in dealing with? He needs to open up more.

    Make no mistake Floyd ain't Marquez. JMM has activity that goes along with his counter-punching. The reason why Pac had difficulty against JMM is because not only would JMM counter him, he would actually counter him with 3-4 combos at a time with insane accuracy. He would many times match Pac's punch output, and that made Pac tentative in attacking him. Morales was also like that in their first fight.

    Floyd with his low workrate ain't gonna cut it I'm afraid. He can hit/counter Pac with those 1 or 2 punches all night, but is that enough to permanently back Pacquiao off and make him think twice in attacking? Don't think so. In Pac, Floyd is facing a truly elite workrate type of fighter with speed, power AND accuracy. And like Floyd, Pac has also one of the fastest hands and foot in boxing today. It ain't gonna be easy for him to get away from Pac, not at all.

    So if you combine Pac's workrate with speed, power, accuracy and the ability to land punches at odd angles, its not that hard to envision a Pacquiao victory. Of course a Floyd victory is not that hard to envision as well. That's why this fight has to happen! Just feel like Pac has the edge here.

    Wanna take a low post but loyal fan like me for an avatar bet too? I think it's a 49-51 fight favoring Pacquiao. I just want to see his aggression strength and speed win it against PBF's slick skills. I guarantee you I am not an alt, like Nalleges army. Ask the moderators if you like.

    I'm not sure of the winner, but **** i'll put my avatar on the line for this.

    Tnx. I also like to add another one of Pac's attributes which was made light just recently: His toughness both in body and chin.
