    Mayweather has been forced into this fight by Showtime theyre tired of losing $$$ on him. But don't worry the fights in Vegas
    where every advantage will be given to Floyd. If Bayless is ref & the Vegas mafia are judges then Manny is going to need a clean KO. Trouble is they'd still probably call that a split dec win for Floyd

    Offensive fighters age faster than defensive fighters. If you had ever watched more than 5 fights in your life, you would have known that.

    I MAY have favored Pacquiao over Mayweather in 08/09, but now I think Floyd wins easily. This is sort of a Martinez-Cotto type match as far as the simple expectation not being close to the sensible outcome.

    Really?, wasn't the Alvarez fight in Las Vegas where one judge gave the fight to Alvarez?. didn't one judge score the first Maidana fight a draw?. Cut the **** about advantages, everyone knows that the real big fights take place in the MGM in Las Vegas. Even foreign fighters literally campaign to one day headline an event there(Carl Froch being a solid recent example) and not many actually do it. The venue will have zero effect, Arum isn't a moron to allow that to happen to his fighter and Pacquiao's team are desperate nor amateurish to let that slip through either.

    If you're going to be negative about this fight just follow suit with the rest of the clowns who are claiming Pacquiao is old while Mayweather is immune to age.

    I don't think that is true at all. I've seen many Pacquiao fans screaming for this fight win or lose, while many Floyd fans kept repeating lines like "PAC needs to earn it", "PAC isn't a big draw", " 40 mil is good enough, he shoulda taken it". Yada yada yada.

    Now that the grand leader decides to actually fight it's, "ah man, we've wanted this fight all along".

    I call BS

    Pac seems to be more I interested in his ridiculous bball career than in boxing, which is sadbecause he has zero chance of success in adult bball. He is a worn our veteran that got knocked the fxk out and since then faced one slow face first brawler and two feather fisted runners, to preserve his chin and his health till his last career payday. No more Ariza means no more machinegun workrate and his dedication to religion means no more killer instinct. Al in all I predict a boring ud for Floyd, who now has Ariza on his side and whose only god is the image he sees in the mirror

    Not always, it all depends on the fighter/human being and how they develop. Some defensive fighters age quicker and once they lose their legs or reflexes they slow down and can't freely move around as they once used to. RJJ is a defensive fighter who relied mostly on his reflexes and he did age fast compared to others. Another example is Leonard who was pretty much done at the age of 31 after the Hagler fight. There are also many examples of aggressive fighters that lasted long. Duran, Foreman, Glen Johnson and many others are out there for your viewing pleasure.

    There are many factors involved and not only fighting styles that should be taken into consideration but obviously you're too stupid to comprehend by yourself.

    Yes he is. Just because the deer got caught and had no where to run doesn't mean the deer got *****.

    as if he really wanted this fight from the beginning of negotiations when he have all the advantages and it will give him the most money? hehehe. it's not cherrypick but forced to make the fight. if not, he would have fought pac in twitter until he retires.

    So Mayweather has been forced to take part in a fight where he stands to make over $100M and where the fight will be rigged in his favor?

    It took the CEO of CBS to personally force Floyd to fight the guy he was ducking for 6 years. No, no, he's no ducker. :lol:

    I like how Pacquiao is suddenly a cherry-pick.

    Pac may be past his best, but he recently had a solid win over Bradley, and he's still a top 5 P4P fighter.

    If anything, Floyd is more past his best than Pac.

    Typical just shows you that PBF can't do anything to please the haters. He could fight GGG after this fight and the results of the poll would be the same.
