    Alright you all knew it was coming.

    Inspired by Mr. ENJOY! himself.

    Pacquiao to Margarito in the 6th round
    or
    Mayweather to Mosley in the 2nd round?

    May in the second Round I'd say. May looked completely out of it, for a minute too. Whereas Pac was pretty much right back to giving the beatdown after he was hit.

    Pacquiao would let Margo hit him on the ropes to keep it entersting.

    Money never lets anyone hit him if he can help it.

    Mayweather went for the clinch, Pacquiao continued throwing back.

    But both fighters must of been hurt. Mayweather moreso if you judge the reactions. But Margos bodyshots must of hurt Pac.

    Pac had to go to the hospital Monday to check for broken ribs and to make sure no injury to the organs. He's lucky because he took 2 huge shots from Margarito on the same exact spot. Margarito needed only 1 of those punches to finish Kermit Cintron.

    I think Mayweather's legs actually turned to jelly for a second.

    Mayweather in the 2nd. Pacquiao wasn't in THAT serious danger and definitely not close to being knocked down let alone out, I don't understand why people make a big deal out of it. Just one known loser and troll starts a topic and people seem concerned.

    All Shane needed was a few more clean punches and he probably would have stopped Floyd.

    Hard to say, because Manny has a great poker face. He does a great job of being a professional & not allowing the opponent know that you hurt him.

    Manny was hurt but not even stunned and definitely not in trouble. Floyd was hearing birds chirping for a minute but recovered well.

    I don't think Pac "let him" hit him on the ropes to make it interesting. It was simply Margarito forcing his will on Pacquiao and getting thru on opportunities that he was able to create. Pacquaio did show his resolve by fighting back fiercely- and I mean fierce...

    I was at the 40/40 club in New York (great place to watch boxing because they turn off the music and the few hundred screens and audio are dedicated to the fight) and the atmosphere was intense, I remember when Pac fought back furiously it really reminded of why the sweet science is in a class of its own when a legend performs.

    As for the question; Mayweather was more in danger. Pac was hurt but I think Floyd was hurt even more.

    Incidentally, considering how big a puncher Mosley is it shows that Floyd if was ever dragged into a fight he can recuperate and dominate a fighter to the point of submission.

    This should never be about Pac vs Floyd.

    I happen to like both fighters a lot and I really hope they meet in the ring.

    MaYweather actually had shaky legs from the Mosley punches.

    Let's be real here, Manny did not have to be there to take them shots. He seems to have a thing about testing his opponents power at these higher weights. Floyd was caught with a head shot by a very hard hitting and very fast fighter, I think that would daze anyone at the weight.

    I think they both sucked it up and deserve merit for it but another flush shot on Floyd could have been a KO. Another on Pac, maybe a knockdown/take a knee.

    It's a no brainer. It's obvious that Floyd was in deeper trouble. Margarito was already worn down by the 5th round due to eating clean, hard shots. Round 2 was still early in the fight for Shane who was/is considered one of the hardest punchers at welterweight. With that being said, I choose to give Floyd credit for being so overwhelmed and still not let a knee hit the canvas which I thought it did when I first saw him get rocked. What Pac did was nice but I really don't think he was signficantly hurt by the body punches.
