Any Pacquiao Fans Here?

Can't dispute that; also don't think it will be Mayweather standing in the end. Although I was impressed with his heart in the 2nd round against Mosley, I do not think Mayweather will handle being hurt repeatedly. The damage Pacquiao did when he connected with Margarito--who is a hell of a lot bigger than Mayweather would be for a fight--will scare Chicken Floyd right out of the ring. Pacquiao is as fast as Mayweather and he hits like a mule. Mosley wobbled Mayweather with one shot and wasn't able to follow up. When Mayweather knew he had taken Shane's best punch and withstood it, he started controlling the fight. Pacquiao doesn't have that flaw in his game; he throws punches in bunches. I don't see Mayweather taking Pacquiao's best shots repeatedly and lasting, unless he gives up all pretense of fighting and makes it a track meet, in which case he loses his perfect record and has to STF up. And that would kill him.

But it is all theoretical since that fight simply will not happen.

Adam, I like your thoughts. I'm hoping they do sign to fight. I'm a big Manny fan and as such would love to see him win. We know Floyd will wait for Manny to open the action. Like dealing with an experienced card dealer they want you to name price first. That puts them in the power position. Manny will counter Floyd's counter but Floyd will anticipate that. He's cute. So I think Manny should pace himself, stick and jab and after about 6 to 8 rounds attack with all his fury. He should very gradually build his attack until that moment of fury when he gets his stoppage.

Manny has signed on to fight Mosley in May.

Thought they had a deal in the works with Marquez, but apparently not. And Floyd didn't even respond to their offers.

Guess he has more 'pressing' matters to attend to.

Yeah, Mayweather needs to hit another woman or child or security guard. Or maybe his Uncle Roger needs a cellie.

Mosley? Yech. Washed up fighter. Not something I will PPV, though if a local bar shows the fight I might pop over to watch.

I first learned about Pacquaio a couple years back. I hadnt been much of a boxing fan in a few years but Pacquaio is really fun to watch and his humility is very respectful.

I dont think there is a fighter right now who can beat Pacquaio. Mayweather knows he wont be able to beat Pacauaio and that is why the fight wont happen. You know Pac isnt going to hide from Mayweather.

Has anyone seen a fighter who has so much stamina? There is no rest with him...the guy just keeps going at his opponent and there is no resting. He has incredible accuracy and speed.

I recently got 3 signed gloves from Pacquaio and had them all authenticated by JSA. If anyone is looking for a signed glove, let me know!

In today's game Sergio Martinex has stamina like Pacquiao, though obviously not the handspeed. Paul Williams has the output but not the polish to get the most out of his stuff. He needs Freddie Roach to clean up his technique.

The trouble with watching Pacquiao is that he is a once in a generation or two athlete and he will ruin most other boxing for us.
