So please describe both, I know who they are but not there physical pros and cons.Manny Pacquiao: Fast and powerful, fast feet, southpaw style, good combination puncher. Can be reckless though and was knocked cold a couple of years ago by Marquez. has a good chin normally though, throws a lot of punches, is a whirling dervish of energy. Floyd Mayweather: Fast, very intelligent in the ring, always a couple steps ahead of his opponent which makes him even faster. Has the ability to adapt to every opponent, has many ways to win. A great counter-puncher, very accurate, not a big puncher but throws very good quality punches, especially the laser accurate lead straight right and the check left hook, his jab to the stomach is apparently a very painful punch too according to people who have faced him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 5 common opponents: Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Miguel Cotto. They beat them all except for Pac losing by KO to Marquez and also a draw with him too. Pac has some more spectacular wins against these guys but Mayweather fought Cotto and Oscar at 154lbs where they were more comfortable, also Hatton was unbeaten when he faced Floyd and they were all coming off big wins when he fought them too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So here's the history of the start of Round 1. They will wait with the PPV buys slow down. This fight might not begin until 1am EST. http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag153/Freedom80065/fight_zps5tcp0n4o.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I grew up loving boxing during the 70's and 80's. So many great fights and fighters. Unfortunately boxing as a sport went into a big decline for several reasons: 1. Don King. 2. The explosion of the various sanctioning bodies. Need a score card to track them all. The WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF - and on and on. I long for the days where their was one champ per division. 3. Boxing moving all of its fights off free TV and on to cable and PPV. I long for days of ABC's Wide World of Sports and The CBS Sports Spectacular. Grew up watching great fights live on those on Saturday and Sunday afternoon's. Plus sometimes tape delayed broadcasts of fights which had been on PPV. But at least I got to see them. Plus sometimes their would be a big fight on at night. Once the fights were no longer on free TV (even a tape delayed version) I just lost interest. Some other sports (the NBA & NFL) would be well advised to avoid this pattern - although they are already starting to go down this road. 4. Bad decisions. Leonard, who I never liked should not have been let near Hagler. He had never fought as a middleweight and had not fought in a couple of years. For him to be jumped in the rankings was pathetic. He should have been forced to fight a couple of fights against top 10 middleweights first. Then he could have had his shot - if he had won those fights. The decision in that fight was just horrible. Hagler was robbed and this turned me off to boxing as well. Will not watch this fight but am very interested. I think Floyd will win but am hoping Many wins. Esp. after seeing film tonight of Larry Merchants run in with Floyd. Rather memorable. Hope that boxing as a sport could come back - I would like it to and I could see myself following it again. By the way, the numerous weight classes don't bother me. I always felt their were gaps between some of the divisions which were to large and they needed to be filled in.

Tony R Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Lots of idiots over here screaming that Pacquiao won, including a Guardian sportswriter. The fight was always going to pan out the way it did and a heavy points win for Mayweather inevitable - I could only see a Mayweather points win unless Pacquiao did the unlikely and stopped him. I don't like the guy and part of me wants someone to destroy him in the ring but he's a supreme boxer, if a tad boring. I had it 7 rounds to 3 with 2 even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
