I think Mayweather's the better boxer, by a fairly wide margin, and could win if he wanted to, but something's smelled fishy about Bob Aram and this whole matchup since way back when, so I'm gonna say Mayweather loses the fight to set up an even bigger paying rematch.

Now if that's not the case, no way Pac wins. Mayweather is such a great fighter because nobody can outbox/ outscore him, but he's also not going to let you get close enough to knock him out. The only way to a win against him is by knockout. So you have to make the risky choice to chase a knockout, or go with the almost surefire failing plan to try to beat him at his own game, which I'm highly doubtful happens.

I cracked up when I read his post.

When you say wide margin I was thinking Floyd's mouth.

It's such a shame this fight didn't happen years ago when Mayweather first started ducking Manny. THAT would have been an epic fight. This is one last cash-in before Mayweather quits.

I was gonna say the same thing till i got sidetracked with the leagues better comment... lol I was ready to buy tickets for that as they were going to fight by my house at cowboy stadium.

Ok to clarify- boxer, not fighter. Misspoke. The better fighter would be pac.

Mayweather's strategy has been the same for years, and, as is obvious by his record, has worked to perfection. Win by all objective measurements (punch stats), and dare the judges to give you the loss based on the subjective data (even if the subjective stuff, like who's actually winning the fight) is right. If you're sitting in the judges' chair, and the compubox numbers are coming back that Floyd's landed punch to getting hit ratio is over 3:1 (Floyd's career stats) while Pac's is only a little over 1:1 (Pac's current career stats), you've got to feel like you're in a pretty tight spot even if your eyes are telling you otherwise. It's not pretty, it doesn't always yield the correct decision, but it's pretty hard to question who's the better "boxer".

I want Pacquiao to win but I think Mayweather will prevail...

Umm still incorrect statement... Just because mayweather is a better counter puncher and has a defensive style of boxing doesn't mean he is the better boxer... feints, movements, punch combination, ring generalship, chin, aggression and such are also other attributes of being a boxer... mayweather is not necessarily better "by a wide margin" than pac at those regards... they just box differently...

On the flip side, Pac is one of the best offensive boxers... that's why you think he is a better "fighter" (which also an incorrect statement)... in offensive boxing attributes I think Pac has mayweather edged out...

The correct statement is that Mayweather's style of boxing is way less riskier than Pac's style is... more importantly, it is easier to score points being a defensive boxer than being offensive especially at Mayweather's skill level... SO, to generalize that one is a better boxer than the other is just wrong...

But you're also negating the quality of fighter they compete against. Floyd handpicks people when they recently been defeated or are out of there prime to fight, to give himself better stats. Pac fights ANYBODY, ANYTIME at anyplace. PACMAN baby!!!!

Floyd fought De La Hoya before Manny..Cotto before Manny...Hatton before Manny...Mosley before Manny..Canelo before Manny will get a chance at him.
You can say whatever you'd like but the handpicking thing makes no sense unless you also apply it to Pac.

I think people have confused the poll for who they want to win, not who will actually win. The last time we saw Manny, wasn't he face down on the mat taking a nap?

Yup, for more ppl to think Pac has better odds or simply thinks he will win is suspect... there should be more option on the poll... LOL

But it's disappointing that you referred back to the marquez fight the last time you saw manny fight... at least do yourself a favor and watch the Bradley/Pac 2...it's free on youtube on HBO's channel... that was one hell of a fight, and will make you think about Pac's chin again since you are referring back at pac taking a nap...

That's right, he had another fight after that one. Trust me, there's very little I'd like to see more than Floyd getting KTFO. It's all I hope for every time he steps into the ring. But he's an unbelievable talent and backs up all the constant BS spews out of his always-open mouth.

I told myself I was voting for who I wanted to win before I even voted. Then I saw the results and said, "oh everyone else is doing the same"

I hope Manny can put on a good show. Unfortunately, I don't think he will win. And I fuckin hate that pretty boy

I wish Tyson* would run into him in public and just clock him in the temple without a word.

*I only said Tyson because no one would care if he did it. I wouldn't want someone with a good reputation ruining it for me
