Mayweather Vs Pacquiao

Manny is smoking hot, hot, hot.

Hope he isn't disfigured or maimed in any way. It would be a tragedy.

If that means I hope he flattens the other guy, it looks like I want him to flatten the other guy.

I haven't really watched boxing since Lennox Lewis was getting his ass kicked by Vitali Klitschko but ended up winning because of a serious cut. I've never been so let down at the outcome of a sporting event, and I never really got back into boxing.

That being said, this fight (really, the version that would have been fucking amazing 6 years ago) is something I am very excited about.

The matchup is not just touted because these two fighters are the best. Undoubtedly, they are the best fighters in the last 20 years. But this matchup has been desired so much because the fighters' style suits the other so well, and for different reasons.

Mayweather dictates a fight by letting the other fighter feel like he's in control. Pacquiao punches so much, and punches from the best side (southpaws, FTW!!!) There are so many other reasons, but to avoid typing for 20 mins, I'm just going to make my prediction.

Pretty Boy Floyd wins by KO late. (I know I voted for decision, but I changed outta my mind, dammit) Manny throws too many punches, and leaves a window open. Mayweather doesn't miss.

Floyd hasn't had anything but decisions in 4 years and Manny, for all the talk of his power etc, hasn't knocked someone out since 2009. I'm going to guess that this goes to decision, probably for mayweather.

Playing safe is simply not Manny's nature, regardless of past incidences. In fact I think this is a strength against Mayweather, who has made a living off of heavy footed anvil swinging robots.

I predict that Mayweather gets exposed. I'm going to pay to watch, but I'd rather shell out money to watch Pacquiao/Marquez V. Not that it means much, but I can't help but wonder what the catch weight will be for this fight.

Although it's been ages and it's always dangerous to compare fighters with results against common opponents, I can't get De La Hoya out of my head looking forward to this fight. I still think Mayweather's 'retirement' was simply a ploy to duck a rematch.

My head tells me Manny unanimous in 12, but I voted Manny KO because that's what I'm rooting for.

I haven't paid attention to boxing since Sugar Shay and Kostya Tszyu were in the ring.

Pacquiao FTW!
