Floyd Mayweather Jr-Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[TheNig]

I just think that 2006 Judah was the best fighter Floyd ever fought and he gave 2006 PBF problems the 1st 6 rounds.

If the 2015 version of Pacquiao is better than 2006 Judah, Floyd is gonna have his toughest fight ever being he's nowhere near how good he was 9 years ago.

I really am interested in how this fight plays out, because I never thought about this until now. I still would pick Floyd...but I'm leaning towards 115-113 SD type of victory for him with a lot of people thinking Manny won

We've seen what could happen if Manny gets careless with a counter puncher...


When was the last time we seen Floyd fight a guy who uses all four corners of the ring?

I can't look at them

Dude is trippin. If they dropped the announcent with a super bowl commercial you'd have people calling you that you haven't spoken to in forever. People you didn't even know cared about boxing. They'd be interested. The fight will sell regardless of course, but a super bowl commercial would be the most epic. It would truly be indicative of what people call the fight of the century. Fight of the century should have an announcement to match it, it should be just as grand as the idea.

Its 4 million not 5.. but you right.. announcing the fight during the most watched telecast in US history dont make sense

obviously it would be great for us
and if they did announce it, i would be happy
im talking about a network point of view
HBO and showtime are nitpicking over everything
and still havent finalized a deal
the fight is gonna break the all time record in gates and in ppvs whether they do a commerical or not
so why would they even put up 4 milly when they dont have to. thats money can go elsewhere
shyt doesnt make business sense
the casuals are coming out in full force regardless

and it aint gonna happen, just watch

It's the counter punching style that Manny struggles against. Not that Floyd and Juan are similar fighters. I watch more boxing than most people, and can definitely see the parallel styles between the two that could make one see how Manny would struggle against Floyd as a result.

And even then, they fight nothing alike. Marquez will exchange, even as a counter puncher. Floyd does not.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Hard to see Manny winning but would be glorious if he did.

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

They probably will promote all star weekend

 

[RatherUnique]

Of course the fight happens once Paq is completely and utterly washed up. Asking for teo of the best to compete at their best was too far fetched for modern day boxing. Wack as fukk.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

two counter pounchers

and floyd will give him a lesson in boxing

So if they are Marquez and Floyd are the same, why did it take Marquez over 40 rounds to finally solve the puzzle? The thing you don't realize is, yes, they are counter punchers, but with two totally different styles of approach. So no, they are not the same type of fighter at all. Also, you're not taking into account that Floyd beating Marquez has nothing to do with Manny, especially when you consider that Manny and Juan, not only fight in two different styles, but that one is a southpaw, and the other, isn't.

Zab only won the first 3 rounds because of Floyd's inactivity, shyt really ain't even happen in the fight to the 4th round, some gave that round to Zab but to me Floyd one that round

Zab won 4 rounds on the score cards the same as Maidana, Floyd beat his ass in the 5th around and hitting him with hard shots, what fight were watching

Oscar put up a away better fight than Zab in their fight

also Manny and Zab have nothing in common other than being southpaws

also when is the last time manny even fought a guy UNDER 30 years old

He was getting schooled by old ass berrera and morrales lol

in the first fight Morraless switched to southpaw in the last 3 rounds just to showout

Is english your first language?
