    That pac is fighting a naturally bigger fighter,who retired to avoid a fight with prime pac aswell as used every other excuse in the book to duck and dodge the fight aswell as having a million less miles on the clock.

    Idiots who disrespect a man who has achieved wot pac has on here r laughable,what's not to like about the man ?
    Exciting,willing to test himself to the limit,take on any challenge.floyd too is great but let's face it he's stayed in his comfort zone,if floyd had pacs mindset he would have taken on the middleweight division by now.
    No way on earth does a floyd win against pac 6 years after it was due make him the greater fighter.
    Just thought I'd throw this out there as there don't seem to be many threads on this up coming fight

    He retired in 2007. Pac was at 130 then... So that isn't remotely true.

    When you say "test himself" are you also talking about the catch weights? Or coming off loses at the hands of Mayweather? Just wondering

    Do u really think I'm gonna start crying and hiding away if pac loses ? I couldn't give 2 fukks
    Just stating facts.im not a hater of floyd in the sense that I can't see his brilliance,I'm s hater of floyd that he refused to push himself against the best time after time to prove his greatness instead of staying in his comfort zone and thinking fighting the likes of Ortiz baldomir guerro a Marquez with no right fighting at ww gatti etc are gonna measure up to ppl like Leonard hearns Duran Robinson etc who pushed themselves to extremes and prevailed aswell as losing in the process to prove true greatness.
    When is the last time floyd triumphed over adversity ?

    Floyd was the bigger man in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and so on. Only difference now is that Bob realized he had milked every penny out of Pacquiao that he could when they got 300k PPV on his last fight. It was time to cash out.

    Do you really believe what you say or can you actually see thru the really thin smoke screen floyd has used to pad out a record. Canello aside,can you say the fights he has opted for the past 5 years are the most challenging and sought after fights he could have opted for ?

    It depends who's talking. Most of the people who assured us Floyd would win will not take this into account. They will try to save face by saying Pacquiao dominated Floyd only because Floyd was past it, but a PRIME Floyd, let me tell you, a PRIME Floyd, now HE would have beat Pacquiao no problem.

    Of the people who picked Pac to win, some will say it was because Floyd was past it (they are saying it now). But there will also be many who will give Pacquiao credit for just being the better fighter and point out how right Floyd was to duck Manny all these years.

    Of course you won't cry and hide away if Pac loses. You've only been on this forum for 4 months. You'll just disappear as if you were never here.

    He was 14 years older than and was outweighed by 15 pounds against the lineal champion of the division above the one he competes at less than 2 years ago. My my, the short term memory.

    Ive been on here nearly 10 years.and like ive said I won't deny floyds skills and greatness but pac is not a ww which ever way u slice it,mayweather is.
    Plus the fact,ppl say floyds legs have gone a bit,pacs whole game is speed power and endurance,obviously the wars he has been in have diminished him more as a fighter than floyd but guess wot,they have defined him more aswell

    1-Floyd retired in 2007-Manny was at 130
    2-Floyd has fought more ranked ww's then Manny
    3-both weigh the same on fight night
