    Pac is way too confident. Some interviews i seen he making it seem like floyd is no big deal. I dont like it.

    Man, just watched the replay of the press con. It was a weird one. Showtime and HBO trading barbs indirectly, Bob being all friendly and talking about the Holocaust, Manny suddenly becoming a preacher, and most of all, Floyd was alarmingly mild. It's as if that coffee had something in it to make him so....calm, or lethargic to put it another way.

    It's weird how small he looks in these pics compared to some of those warm up shots from the Madaina fight. Definitely on weight, as I would expect year round from Floyd. If he is above 152-4 here I would be shocked.

    I expect Floyd to get increasingly frail into his 40s, not like the late careers of guys like Camacho and Duran, who just seemed durable even if they put on tons of weight. I am rooting for Pacquiao but for some reason these pics made me feel some empathy for Floyd.

    He's putting on less muscle than he used to, that's for sure. Kinda hard to gain and maintain musculature at that age. He looked jacked though against Marquez.

    i agree with him. floyd has no power. he cant keep pac off of him. floyd can run all he wants. pac is quick enough to catch him.

    If Pacs gonna lose then Pac fans should give credit to Floydie. Its not that Pacs not on his prime but both of them aren't. Floyd is older so the prime thing could never be an excuse. But if Pac wins, the same thing should happen, Floyds fan should also give credit. They may be a lil past their prime but comes fight night they will be probably at their best. Only pac****s and *****s wont accept a lose. That is if its a real lose.

    I'm surprised the poll was so in favour of people who care about this fight, I don't know why but still...

    I hope I'm wrong but I think It's just going to be another boring Mayweather show i.e. some cheap shots, smack talk before the fight then at the time of the fight...
    Clinch, elbows and forearms for 12 rounds, Mayweather UD win yeeeey he's the greatest of all time now... smh

    You forget Floyd is a master of clinching, forearming and elbowing on the inside, he even did it to Marcos Maidana who was a much bigger man.
    I got my doubts man but If they have a good referee none of this Kenny Bayless **** of the second fight instead a referee who adheres to the rules of the book and not his preference I think then and only then Floyd might have some problems.

    Every opponent?
    Like how he dominated Marcos Maidana and Castillo in the first fight, like he dominated Oscar De LaHoya so much that he retired instead of fighting him again to get another at the time career high payday?

    Fact is you could easily argue Castillo beat him and probably same said for the first Maidana fight, Floyd was terrible that night but because he is the huge global phenom that he is a (huge cash cow) he gets to slip on by because of who he is and we get a bunch of so called professionals saying that in his first fight with Maidana that he was in control :lol: HELL NO!!
    Imagine how angry Floyd fans would be to see Maidana win If we reveresed the gameplan of the two only then these people would be talking about outworking your opponent, ring generalship and just overall being in control of how the fight is fought instead of that all Floyd fans develop selective blindess, strange that.

    1. Sorry to break it to you but punches to the back of the head and Muy Thai knees to count for points in boxing.

    2. Best to listen to what the professionals say than some random Floyd hater who seems to act like he believes Floyd only wins fights through dirty tactics and home cooking.

    GTFOH with your whining! Maidana lost and so did Castillo. They had the opportunity to make a statement in a rematch and they failed miserably. CASE CLOSED!
