    No.

    Regardless of who wins, the outcome will not change history: Pacquiao held it up all these years when he initially balked at drug testing.

    Saying Floyd ducked him all these years if he ends up losing this fight would just be revisionism.

    I am a Floyd fan but have always believed Floyd ducked him to a certain extent.

    I think it's also fair to say Manny didn't want the fight 100% too.

    It was a combination of the two.

    If Floyd loses, it depends how he loses.

    I am sure a part of me will still think a prime Floyd would have beat him. But if Pac blows him away, beats him to the punch time after time and wins comfortably, I will certainly not take anything away from Pac.

    That's just natural I think.

    However, as I said, a lot depends on the manner of the victory.

    I still think Floyd will win a comfortable decision.

    I think this fight will disappoint.

    No, and it's naive to think that only one side is to be blamed for that. Pacquiao fans hysteria of "Duckweather" and other stuff is just the result of massive manipulation which took place for years. However, if we study this matter, we can see that there were a lot of obstacles which prevented this fight of happening, and it is stupid to think that it depended only on a fighter's will. Who's A-side, what's the share, how hbo and showtime aggree, what's the doping procedure etc. Again, it's just a public manipulation that made fans think that Mayweather was ducking.

    I give Pacquiao 30% chances of winning the fight. If we wins, depending on how fight went on, I'll come to one of the following conclusions:

    1) Pac had a great camp, developed a good strategy together with Freddy Roach and Manny did more that I thought he could;
    2) Mayweather dissapointed me with him not being ready for the fight or not showing the skills he used to show before.

    As for now, Mayweather has all the skills to win that fight, whereas Pacquiao has to bring something special inside the rings.

    With that being sad, please stop being so straightforward and think critically.
