gonna happen this march!
Source: Manny Pacquiao signs contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13 - ESPN
predictions?
mayweather
he'll frustrate pacquiao in the early rounds and then out-box him for the rest of the fight
late k/o or decision
pac man on points
Mayweather has something to prove. Pacquiao does not, and is already planning for post-boxing glory. I think he might have lost the edge.
Mayweather by decision.
manny, IMO, is just way too fast and technical for floyd, who looked rusty in his comeback. in 2007, floyd wins. today, manny on points.
floyd did not look rusty against marquez
he smashed him up proper
He's never come up against anybody like Manny though.
Vice versa as well i suppose.
Im soooooo fcking excited!
marquez got a lot of shots in, though didn't he.,,and that's after all the shadiness with the weigh-ins. and marquez not nearly as fast or technical as manny.Quote:

But Mayweather has got some heaters in his arsenal.
i think it will definitely go the distance. mayweather's advantage is that he'll fight near his natural weight, while manny won't. but as you say, floyd's never faced someone as quick as manny. or as technical. it's going to be tough to land those heaters, and he's going to have to pay more mind to defense than normal. i think he's going to get frustrated.
mayweather's a patient boxer, if either man is going to become frustrated it will be manny
manny hasn't faced a boxer of mayweather's class
dunno, mate. compare floyd's fight with ricky hatton, who was fighting above his most comfortable weight, to manny's.
think floyd will get better as the fight goes on, but i think he's going to have a hell of a lot of trouble early on.
He did defeat Oscar De La HoyaQuote:

true, mayweather was cautious in the early rounds against hatton, i expect he'll be the same against pacquiaoQuote:
