Pacquiao--Mayweather
- Thread starter ketan
- Start date
Hey,
Money May is too skilled for Manny who, in turn, tends to be very defensively irresponsible. From the 5th round on, Mayweather will walk Pacquaio down, stopping him via TKO in the 9th round (after knocking him down with a counter punch). This fight will not be as competitive as casual boxing fans think.

As much as I am looking forward to the fight, I still have a lot of frustration that these two are meeting up for their second or even third fight. Hope it is at least somewhere near the expectations of Boxing fans.
I can't see anything other than a Mayweather win. He is the most intelligent boxer in the ring since Ali/Leonard.

At the rate boxing is going I could really care less who wins/loses... There is just waaaaay too much money, corruption, and greed involved nowadays. The shit is almost as predictable and theatrical as WWF. The under cards often times are more thrilling to watch than the main events.
I'm a fan of Pacquiao and his quirky aggressive style of fighting but the only way I see him winning this fight is by TKO. I anticipate paying way too much money to watch Mayweather duck his way to another 12 round decision.

Has Mayweather ever been knocked down before? I think another aspect that might be overlooked is the fact that he can take punches. Even if he did, he recovers very quickly.
I'll be rooting for Manny and the upset though.

I stopped watching boxing about 10 years ago because MMA is way more excititng.
That said, I think this fight took way to long to happen, and Manny isn't as good as he was a few years ago.
I'm not suggesting Manny would've won had they fought sooner, but I think it would've been a better fight.
Floyd by a controversial UD, which will lead to a second fight, and Manny loses that one as well and announces his retirement in-ring after his second UD loss.

While I don't mind watching certain MMA fighters, I won't ever enjoy it as much as Boxing.
No competition.
No competition.
It'll be a Mayweather UD probably.
I got fed up hearing about this fight before it was even announced. 2015 has been a good year for the sport so far and should continue. Many people act like this is the only one talking about.

Yes Yuichi, he was knocked down early in his career. He has also stunned guys in the ring who were nearly 20 pounds heavier than him on fight night (e.g., Cotto, Maidana). People are underestimating the impact of Mayweather's size advantage. Manny has to take risks to land against the best counter puncher and most skilled defender in boxing. Those factors don't bode well for Pacquiao.

Seems like near universal agreement that Manny has no hope. So my question is, what angle does Manny and his team see? Or after they just looking for a last big payout?
(Stacks, I am that casual boxing fan... I used to watch a lot when I was a teen but haven't really kept up since then.)

This fight definitely should have happened years ago. It's unfortunate that the Tim Bradley upset (where Pacquaio clearly won) came into play dragging out this match up also. Boxing is corrupt like that though. If it goes to decision you never know how it will go.

Hey Ketan,
The simple answer is that Manny Pacquiao has ran out of compelling, big-money fights. To be technical, so has Floyd Mayweather. All they basically have is each other as a resource to make huge money.

Maybe due to his size and technicality, but I thought De La Hoya did a good job doubling up on the jab and landing body shots through 6 rounds. Closest I've seen (didn't see vs Mosley) to Mayweather being semi out-boxed.

Hey Yuichi,
Also, Zab Judah had a good first 5 rounds against Floyd. Yet, Floyd adjusted and spanked his ass for the rest of the fight. I'd say Judah was the most technically-similar fighter he has faced. Concerning Mayweather vs. Mosley, Shane hurt Floyd twice in the 2nd round. After that, Floyd walked him down and beat him up en route to a lopsided, unanimous decision.

I'm glad someone brought up that Bradley fight. No way in hell he won that. All said though, I think Pac will have his work cut out for him. He's had at least a dozen more professional fights and those all take a toll.. While I respect Floyd's skill I'd love for Pac to put him on the canvas but not sure he's got that much in him to deliver that sort of punishment. Pac has been so refreshing for the sport.. gonna miss seeing him hang up the gloves..
