    Mike says Pacquiao throws too many shots and Floyd just stands there and plods and throws a few pot shots. He said to beat Pac you have to throw a lot of punches, over a hundred a round, like Bradley and JMM did. Floyd doesn't do that. Tyson says Pac will win all the rounds, Floyd has to come out and fight the guy. Pac is all over the place, always moving feinting punching. Tyson apologized for picking against Floyd but that's just how I see it, it's just my opinion, said Mike.

    And absolutely nothing wrong with his opinion. Very respectable.

    What a ****ty article. I read the one about the historic significance with this fight, never read so much drivel.

    The guy was talking about Sonny Liston and George Foreman and all sorts of ****.

    Then i read the author Scoop "Get Tyson a straight jacket" Malkowski, this guy needs to find a different sport.

    Tyson's memory must be a bit fuzzy. Never did Marquez ever throw 100 punches a round against Manny. He picked his spots in those fights. He was also able to cut down Pacquiao's out put as well; something Mayweather is pretty adept at doing. Thankfully, we won't have to talk in hypotheticals in terms of this matchup for much longer.

    I personnaly don't understand why people, a lot of people, pick Mayweather to win this in a easy way, or sincerely being confident that Mayweather will win it.

    What makes this fight interesting to me is that the outcome of the fight is not obvious at all. It could go either way. Pac will throw punches from all over and connect, or he will miss constantly while being counter.

    Stay tune.

    Before facing Holyfield, Tyson also said "Holyfields a good fighter, but hes not in my league".

    Obviously Tyson would compliment Pacqiauo, stylewise they have more in common and people forget Roach did train Tyson towards the end of his career. Tyson also tried to work as Pacqiauos trainer a number of years ago.

    Actually, Holyfield psyched out Tyson at the first press conference in Vegas. At the podium Holyfield's monologue ripped Tyson, 'You guys in the media are all in awe of Tyson but I've been every where he's been - except jail...To beat Tyson you have to box him and you have to fight him, you can't just box him, you have to dig down deep and fight him too... Mike Tyson goes down but I don't know if he's the kind of person who can get up... I will be champion on Nov..."

    Tyson suddenly became infuriated with Holyfield's words and got out of his seat on the dais and started shouting at Holyfield, "You got nothing coming on Nov., I'm gonna kick your ass."

    The exchange showed that Holyfield got in his head. Mike lost his cool. This dynamic transferred to the fight itself. The exact quotes and the whole entire exchange is in the Heavyweight Armageddon Tyson vs. Lewis book by Scoop Malinowsky. Very interesting.

    That's his opinion and he's entitled to it.

    Damn straight ass truth right there. Floyd's never even been in the ring with close to an ATG fighter. Now all of a sudden he's supposed to whip ass???? please.

    If you go to sites like ESPN and Ring, something like 60% of the people are picking Pacquiao in the polls at those sites. A ton of gambling money has come in on Pacquiao as well.

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize Floyd was forced into this fight. Pacquiao could very well end up being the betting favorite by May.

    Marquez throws more than Floyd in the first 2 matches and it was his Floyd like perceived inactivity that cost him the third match with the judges. Also Floyd doesn't have near the power of Marquez to keep Pac off of him or give Pac cause for concern.

    ? Floyd has great power, plenty of it. NO one can walk through his punches.

    All of his opponents say the same thing, he's very very very physically strong in there and has more power than they thought he had. Mosley did, DLH did, Canelo did, Guerrero did. :yep

    Pac will feel what it's like on May 2nd.

    He's getting knocked cold. :deal
