Pacquiao vs Mayweather
 
Who do you think will win the fight?

I got Mayweather winning

GOAT 04-30-2015 08:26 PM

If Pacman can connect in the early rounds with some power shots I say he has a good chance, but if he doesn't I don't see him winning(unless he connects with the perfect punch like JMM did against him).


I'm 50-50 on who I think wins. I'm rooting for Pacman, but I lean more towards Mayweather winning especially if he can take Pacmans punches.

Thallen 04-30-2015 09:40 PM

Mayweather by decision

Motrox 04-30-2015 10:13 PM

I'd say Mayweather,but I always ready to be surprised.

pacman 04-30-2015 10:50 PM

PAC MAN ALL THE WAY!

Common Sense 05-01-2015 01:36 AM

Pacquiao because Mayweather's arrogance is gonna bite him in the ass.

Draenin 05-01-2015 04:13 AM

Mayweather accused Pacquiao of wanting to fight him due to money issues. Pacquiao responded by challenging Mayweather to donate ALL proceeds from their fight to charities from around the world. Mayweather said No.

Not to mention, Mayweather's biggest opponent these days only tends to be women, considering he's been convicted on charges of domestic abuse 5 times in the past 14 years.

So yeah. Definitely rooting for Pacquaio. Dude might be the underdog in this fight, but he's a freakin' powerhouse.

Sorry but it's happened once and it'll happen again... Mayweather is going to take it. I honestly would want Pacquaio to win but I think Mayweather has the upper hand. No pun intended.

Thallen 05-01-2015 12:03 PM

only way Pacquiao wins this is by a knockout in one of the early rounds and I just don't see it happening

I guarantee PAC man will win. Mayweather picks and chooses his fights always looking for an easy victory. It's been awhile since he's fought any challenging opponent, but now he will be chin checked!

Mayweather was getting beat a sec in that fourth round

Mayweather won :D

Bryan* 05-03-2015 06:03 AM

Mayweather simply had better defense and connected with his left jab and right punches all the way through. I feel like Pacman didn't go at his full potential but great match overall. Still undefeated & and it would be insane if he breaks Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record.

Yoshired 05-03-2015 06:28 AM

I really wanted pacman to win but Floyd is just way too good :/ I hate the way he fights but it is seriously impressive.

It would be even more insane if he doesn't break another girl's face.

Your comment would offend Mayweather… If he knew how to read.

Admiral 05-03-2015 11:40 AM

Pacq claims to have an injured right shoulder but still wanted to fight, which may have affected him.

Technically speaking, Mayweather was the better boxer, but the way he boxed reminded me of when you play your older sibling at something and they will do everything in their power to win

Was an okay fight, looking forward to the rematch in September

Colin 05-03-2015 02:49 PM

"Recapping the big news of the morning, Manny Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum has claimed the Nevada State Athletic Commission refused to allow the Filipino to have an injection into his shoulder before the fight which left him one-handed for the entire 12 rounds.

Arum told the Telegraph: "It's going to take a long time to potentially have a rematch because Manny has a shoulder injury and we are particularly disappointed that the Commission refused to allow what had been agreed. I think Manny is going to need an operation."

Pacquiao said the injury prevented him carrying out his plan, which is a relief because smiling his way through losing the first three rounds leaving him to chase Mayweather for the remaining nine didn't seem like much of a plan at the time."

My favourite quote someone said about Mayweather;

"I was extremely disappointed in the fight. I disagree that Manny was out-boxed. He got out-danced. Not sure how Mayweather can look himself in the mirror when so many people paid to see a good fight. He's a ballerina not a fighter. This was not a fight worth watching. All Mayweather did was back up for almost the entire fight. I only remember seeing him push forward twice."

Patrick 05-03-2015 03:00 PM

Fight Stats:
Pacquiao - 256 punches, 88 landed
Mayweather - 234 hugs, 15 miles running

Admiral 05-03-2015 03:38 PM

"someone needs to tell Mayweather that he should punch Pacq and hug his wife, not the other way round"

Patrick 05-03-2015 03:44 PM

^^ yep totally agree.

I'm a PAC man fan, but I don't want to hear all these excuses. Mayweather one fair and square, quit crying. Yes he's a boring fighter but he still won fair and square

Actually wouldn't really call it fair, Nevada Athletic Commission denied him treatment for his damaged right shoulder which limited his ability to fight as it could have severely damaged it even more, it's the same injury that ended Kobe Byrants season and Manny is most likely getting surgery for it which will end his season as well.

Wouldn't call win by decision that good of a win anyways, especially when Mayweather showed his ballerina skills more than his fighting skills.

I'm more concerned of his in-ring skills than what he does outside of it.

Mayweather is relinquishing his titles on Monday.

British Boxer Amir Khan said last night that Mayweather's camp said that they want to face him for his final fight so that'll probably be the fight in September and not a Pacquiao rematch. However if Khan loses later in the month then who knows who Mayweather's opponent could be. But I want Khan to beat Mayweather so a Brit ends mayweather's streak :)

Also there are ways to get out of the corner other than hugging your opponent 50 times :)

Got to hand it to mayweathers team and mayweathers decisions he picks his fight right and when he wants them under his circumstances (not good boxing way but amazing business)

p.s. if hatton pacquiao etc couldnt beat him khan has like 0.1% of winning him/would need to give litrally everything first few rounds and knock him out..else mayweather wins again.

Exactly, people can talk trash on him all they want, but he's a business, and plays his cards to where he is making maximum income. I'm still a pac man fan, and I think mayweather is a boring fighter, but can't deny his business tactics.

I will be watching Khans fight later in the month. Khans good and he is a lot younger than Floyd and manny . Only problem with Khan is his glass jaw which will not be a problem against someone like Floyd. But we will see later this month... If Khan loses then May weather wont face him.

EKiM 05-04-2015 11:24 AM

Mayweather is a better boxer but Manny is the better fighter. Yeah Mayweather connected more "punches" but that's only because contact counts as a punch in boxing. Manny felt like he won because half of Mayweather's punches were taps to connect. Mayweather works the point system very well and he knows how to kill time... But if it was an actual fight Manny could take him out.

It was Manny's job to make it a fight. Everyone felt that was the only way to win the fight(not thinking ko), but he chose to fight Mayweather's fight. Roach is a "7 time trainer of the year" so he should have known MW was going to back pedal(he knew), so it was his job to come up with a game plan to prevent him from doing it.

Can't believe Mayweather didn't beat Floyd. Oh well, hopefully the Pacquiao vs Manny fight is better.
