Both solid fighters. Tough to call.

I would like to see Pacman win just because I'm tired of hearing Mayweather run his mouth. He's a great boxer but he has the ability to out shadow that with his ability to make people dislike him.

Even though i want pacman to win, floyds gonna beat him. Theres a reason why floyd avoided fighting him, its because he didnt want to fight pacman at his prime.

You could argue that Floyd isn't in his prime either (Floyd is 38 and Manny is 36 yrs old). Floyd is probably the smartest boxer and greatest defensive boxer in history but at the end of the day it's boxing and one punch can end the match. That's where Manny can have an advantage, he has more than enough power to knock Floyd out whereas Floyd has been criticized for not having any power in his punches. If it goes the distance then it probably means Floyd will win the fight based on decision BUT if Manny wins it'll be because of a KO/TKO. It'll be a great match, defense vs. offense.

pacman has been criticized for not having power either, hes just known for his speed. yea they are both out of their prime, but since manny doesnt have power, speed, or the same defensive skill as floyd. I think floyd will win.

Even though their old, i cant wait for this fight.

Uhhh Manny has 38 KOs, he has power. He has the most power in his left hand and what gives him an advantage against orthodox fighters (like Floyd) is his southpaw stance. If you don't know, southpaw fighters have an advantage in style because their left hand (the one which is easiest to sneak through the guard of an orthodox fighter) is their power hand. It's going to be one of the toughest fights Floyd has ever had and I can't wait for it.

This is boxing so I can only hope that this fight won't be "fixed". If it goes to a decision, I hope it's a fair one that everyone can agree on unlike the robbery that occurred with Bradley vs. Pacquiao.

Only 5 more days until one of the greatest boxing fights in history occurs. Judging by the poll it seems there are a lot of Pacquiao supporters in our little community, the only way I see him winning is by knockout. If the fight goes the distance I think Mayweather will get the decision. Then again anything can happen...

Philadelphia Police found a man laying bloody and unconscious after he was allegedly stabbed by his brother over the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

The 35-year-old man was found in the hallway of the second floor of a home on the 5800 block of Christian Street early Sunday after police responded to a call about a person screaming, according to officials.

The victim's cousin told police that he was stabbed by his brother during an argument about the much-anticipated boxing match that took place Saturday night.

The man was pronounced dead around 1 a.m. His identity has not been released pending notification of his family members.

Some people take their sports toooooooooooooo seriously. That's why I stopped watching sports.
