That's what they said in 2009. 5 years later....*tumbleweed*

No, it's not on. It will not be on until approx 2 minutes before they fight and they are both in the ring. Otherwise don't torture yourself, somebody will find a reason for them not to fight, rinse, repeat. How long have we been going through this? Must be the best part of 5 years

Wild_Dogger · 03-01-2014 11:26am

Yep , don't believe it either.

'Ducking' risky fighters is 'clever selection' in Mayweather's eyes.

Thats why he will never one of the greatest .....

Pac is looking likely to fight Bradley or Provodnikov now, so this one is out for the next few months anyway

Opposite is true, Fighting fighters who suit your style has been the Manny way under Roach and Arum.

Mayweather would and will if it happens go through Manny, Would be embarrassingly easy to be realistic, Manny struggles with the boxing skills of Marquez who Mayweather made look like a novice, This fight I'm not intyerested in, Would be a 1 sided beat down with 1 fighter hoping for 1 punch to land

So committed was Pacquiao to avoiding difficult styles he fought Juan Manuel Marquez four times.

As much as I hate posting in these threads I must say one thing: FMJ ducked Pacquiao and has as good as admitted it at this stage. In numerous interviews he has said that it's all about picking an opponent to maximise earnings and limit the damage he sustains. Which he has every right to do. But he does not have the right to do this and then claim he fought the best.

This topic is a black hole so I'll leave it that.

colly10 · 19-01-2014 11:38pm

This is actually a fight I don't want to see, it's years past it's sell by date.
Would have been one of the greatest ever around 2010.
Pac is not the same fighter and I don't believe Mayweather is what he once was

Frankie Lee · 20-01-2014 1:24am

It would sicken me to see Khan getting such an undeserved pay day.

Its a shame they couldn't fight 5 years ago, when they were in their prime

If they fought now? Can you imagine the inevitable dodgy result that would incur ?

Below is what was written on his page. Below this is 3 pictures of Manny being dropped by JMM.

"My new boxing DVD is coming soon and is called "3 Ways to Sleep". Back, Face and Butt and I'm Falling & I Can't Get Up. Miss Pac Man is broke and desperate for a pay day. Your Pay-Per-View numbers are a joke."

Will you give it a rest lads he posted factual real pictures of pacman knocked the Fu^k out,if anybody can afford to slag someone in boxing its mayweather considering hes undeafeated after 47 bouts

Its says a lot about you if you get annoyed by a funny post on facebook its simple if you dont like what you see or hear dont follow him on social media or dont watch anything with him in it either,its not hard.

badabing106 · 27-09-2014 10:33pm

Floyd is a convicted wife beating scumbag. No amount of money can change that

Didnt contest it so it wouldnt drag through the courts I thought? manny is far from squeaky clean from tax evasion to harbouring fugitives I wont even include peds in that,if you dont like mayweather dont pay the ppv to watch him and dont follow him on fb/twitter.

I see the forum is infested with pacman fanboys,he has more luggage than the airport not discussing floyd boxing skills either here so dont think im saying hes the greatest of all time or anything but floyd gets stick and pacman cant do any wrong.

Its the blow in posters like yourself who seem insistent on taking one side, the regular posters on here barely show preference for either side in fairness.

Its a fight that was hugely anticiapted in 2009/2010, not so much now.

Mayweather would have won back then but didn't fancy the risk. Pacquiao remaining with Bob Arum showed maybe he wasn't willing to do whatever it took.

Not the first time the sport has been deprived of a super fight with 2 sure thing hall of famers in their prime. And won't be the last.

Yawn.

As someone said above, few posters here wet themselves over either boxer. I think they're both amazing boxers for different reasons and I enjoy watching them both equally. Most posters here look at the sport objectively and see past the WWE sort of nonsense you seem to be engaging in.

There's no need to latch on to one boxer and throw p*ss at other ones, it isn't like supporting a soccer team.

walshb · 29-09-2014 3:29pm

The fact that Floyd courts controversy and goes out of his way to antagonize may be part of the reason that he gets "more stick" than Manny, who really seems to be a simple and down to earth and humble guy.

Love to see Ruslan and Manny meet. These are the styles and fights that we need. Throw Garcia and JMM on the undercard at 145. Or, Manny-Garcia and JMM-Ruslan. What a combination.

Manny could still be vulnerable as regards getting tagged heavy. Is the chin weak? He leaves himself quite open when he darts in with his shots. It's one hell of a tasty match; well worthy of PPV!

Could Garcia expose Manny with a powerful timed counter punch?

Both are great punchers. I think Manny beats both. i'd be more interested in Ruslan vs garcia.

You could have a tournament with 5 or 6 lads at 140-147 lbs that would be dream bouts. Manny/JMM/Ruslan/Garcia/Mattysse/Mayweather...

Ok, I don't want to see JMM/Pacman again. But Mayweather in the mix using all his skills to tame Ruslan or Pacman would be great...

Throw Broner in for sport! Maybe Alvarado and Rios for more hell!

Littlehorny · 24-11-2014 11:10pm

Pacquaio calling out Mayweather for May 2nd next year in his post fight press conference. i personally think this fight will never happen as there is nothing in it for Mayweather. Pacquaio has losses on his record so losing to Mayweather will not hurt his career as much as it would Mayweather. Pacquaio is the smaller man and has way more mileage on him.
Basically if Mayweather loses he will have been beaten by a guy who has been beaten by other fighters, is smaller and has had the tougher career.

And if he wins...... He'll have secured his legacy. A win against Pac ensures he retires a bona fide legend and in the discussion for the best ever.

Mayweather is nowhere near being discussed as best ever unless it's in his own house.I'm a fan but lets get real he may just scrape into the all time top 20.

In no particular order and off the top of my head

Ray Robinson
Harry Greb
Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
Archie Moore
Henry Armstrong
Ezzard Charles
Sam Langford
Roy Jones
Tommy Hearns
Pernell Whitaker
Bob Fitzsimmons
Willie Pep

I could probably name another ten who would also have a better shout so maybe top 25 is Floyds ceiling.

dinorebel · 25-11-2014 12:58pm

The above of course is just fighters who should be ranked higher the head to head list would be larger.

This isn't a knock Floyd post just trying to be honest he is without doubt the best of his generation but his career is a lot of smoke and mirrors in that he generally only fights on his terms i.e stating weights to fight at which,gloves his opponent has to use ect.
I have one question for Pighead would Floyd still be undefeated if he was around at the same time as Hearns,Leonard and Duran?

We could do this all day but ultimately we do not know how he would fare. I find it strange you put Whitaker in ahead of Floyd when to me Whitaker is practically the exact same as Floyd but slower. Floyd beats Whitaker every time for me. But unless we can cobble together a time machine between us we will never know for sure. By the way I'm not saying Floyd is the best ever but I think the fact he's a bit of an arsehole clouds some people's opinion on where he stands in the all time lists. Definite top ten for me.

To be top 10 for me he would of had to have fought and beaten Pac 5 or 6 years ago and beaten the likes of Mosley and De La Hoya when they were prime not years past.

walshb · 25-11-2014 1:52pm

FWIW I'd probably take a peak Floyd at WW over Oscar and Mosley. More so over Mosley. Oscar's jab and height could do the trick.

I think he loses to Hearns and Leonard. Has his moments, but loses. May not even survive 12 if the tow of them connect clean.
