[Hey Yo]

Albeit 5yrs late though.

[IncarceratedBob]

Nobody cares about boxing, two minorities beating the shit out of each other. Hooray for post racial times. Pathetic

[dubeta]

Nice

[Cold soul]

Well about damn time took long enough. Too bad both fighters are little past their prime I wish this fight would've happened 3-5 years ago the hype for it would of been insane.

[r0drig0lac]

great

[CP343]

If you knew it was OT, why even post in the NBA Forum? The Off Court lounge gets plenty of traffic.

If mayweather lost 3-5 years ago he wouldnt be making the money he does now. That being said mayweather is going to destory pacman.

Mayweather is a defensive specialist, he doesnt need to win with a knock out. This isnt MMA this is the art of boxing.

[chosen_one6]

Why the f*ck is this in the NBA forum?

[Kidbasketball20]

Mayweather is gonna be in major trouble


He's been ducking this fight for years

[Flower_]

It's not the same right now, two years ago sure but now? Pacman is weak.

[Angel Face]

5 years late, doesn't matter.. :applause:

[Chrono90]

Prime Pacquiao would have advantage over prime Mayweather but now it's hard to say.

[Bodhi]

Anyone who thinks Pacquiao has a chance is clueless

If Mayweather was still scared of Pacqiao he wouldn't take the fight

I guess you hated when Mike Tyson fought people and knocked them out huh?

:coleman:

[Hey Yo]

Wonder how much Floyd will bet on himself FTW?

[coin24]

People still watch boxing? Rigged boring shit..

[plowking]

Mayweather is older. Stop with the excuses.

:coleman:

It's a different weight class. You really think people at Mike Tyson's weight were able to dodge punches like mayweather? :biggums:

[josh99]

Completely different styles though. An athletic guard is going to drop off a lot more than a fundamentals big man.

Yeah, Floyd used his superior speed to get off through counter punching his whole career.

Typical though, even when he faces Pac, there are excuses before the fight. Next we'll be told that Manny isn't that good after Floyd beats him. :oldlol:

This

Pacman is too aggressive a fighter, probably has brain damage from all the brutal fights he's been in.

Funny picture. I didnt know Jose Luis Castillo turned into Margarito. Chino Maidana turned into David Diaz. Canelo turned into Rios. Weird!!!

really, not even a chance?

[LAZERUSS]

The winner will take on Rocky Balboa...

[k0kakw0rld]

out of their prime, no thanks.

Prediction: Pacquiao will be too excited and will get knocked out like Ortiz.

Mayweather's defense > all boxers

[Magic 32]

Mayweather needs Pacman on his r

[SexSymbol]

What's the point of watching this, it will end in max 6 round with Pacquiao owning mayweather.
Just a completely different level boxer.

[warriorfan]

Manny is gonna hurt Mayweather early and we are gonna see what Money is made of

lol if you think Mayweather will allow Manny to box him

Floyd will just run around the ring, jab a few, win by points, last 12 rounds, and win by decision.

no way he stands and trade blows with Manny.

[jzek]

Floyd waited for the perfect opportunity. Sorry Filipinos on this board... Manny is passed his prime and is going to lose.

Would have loved to see this fight 3 or 5 years ago though. Pretty sure Manny of 3 or 5 years ago would've knocked Mayweather out.

[sejoon101]

Been calling out EVERY one of my filipino friends for years. Got 20 stacks on Mayweather (srs)

Lost SO MUCH FUKKIN MONEY on my Celtics in 2009~2011 Seasons, plan to make a chunk of that back on this fight. Made a good chunk back on the Mavs in the 2011 finals, and healthy money last finals with the Spurs. However, still at a healthy 5 figures deficit overall because of dumbass regular season NBA betting.

I just can't see May losing. Just can't. Wish me luck ISH, I'll seriously make a thread on giving random ISHers bball merchandise if May comes through for me.

[r0drig0lac]

the same day UFC 187 ( Rumble x Jones / Weidman x Belfort)

[rhowen4]

yeah i just don't care anymore

[ImKobe]

out of their prime, no thanks.

Prediction: Pacquiao will be too excited and will get knocked out like Ortiz.

Mayweather's defense > all boxers

If you're a boxing fan, you're going to watch this fight no matter what.

It might actually make a better fight because Floyd's defense isn't really what it used to be, meaning it might be a more even fight if Manny can land some clean looks.

Any outcome here will most likely break the internet. One of those stanbases will get trolled to oblivion. Or how about a draw? :lol

Either way we're going to see a re-match because Floyd has another fight left on his contract and he's not going to go from Manny to some no-namer to finish his career.

[Done_And_Done]

When was the last time Floyd knocked somebody out?

If he wins, he's going the distance and winning on points.
