You think that fight is gonna happen? pffff... Anyhow I don't think it even matters anymore because Floyd is definetly not in his Prime and neither is Pac. It will be a Iceman vs Axe Murder fight when they're no longer in their prime and boring. Letdown. I think we know who the better fighter is anyhow.


Floyd still looks as sharp as ever. I would argue that his craft is even a more more perfected at this age than his younger years.

 

And to be fair on Pac's part, he lost a VERY CONTROVERSIAL decision to Bradley and he was pretty much beating the shit out of Marquez before getting knocked into the next dimension lol.

Pac looked good in the Rios fight but i'll admit that his power wasn't the  but that was mainly due to Alex Ariza leaving the Pacquaio camp.

Very controversial? LMAO

it wasnt at all.Pac won fair and straight. The 5 special judges that judged the fight afterwards all of them gave the victory to Pac, so did every media that was covering the event.

I would've loved Mayweather to of have fought Sergio Martinez a couple of years ago. Amir Khan will draw a crowd, though. I see Bradley giving PacMan a second L, against popular opinion. And after a few redeeming fights, I want to see Donaire vs JMM. Would somebody PLEASE give GGG a serious American fighter, in a serious American arena?


Yeeeeeeeesssssss! I want to see Mayweather vs Martinez sooo bad!

 

I just want Floyd to fight Martinez and Pacquaio before he retires. Martinez has wanted to fight May for a while now but Martinez is a bit too big for Mayweather. He might have to come down to 154 to get the Mayweathef fight

Floyd will most likely be facing Amir Khan this May and Pac and Bradley are having the rematch.

Pac is running out of people to fight. He needs to leave Top Rank and go over to Golden Boy.

Pac vs Bradley 2 will put Pacquaio back in much better position to regain some of that momentum back if he wins.

But the May vs Pac fight will never happen if Pac doesn't leave Top Rank for a little while. He also needs to let go of the 50/50 ppv split because Mayweather isn't going to agree to that.


How do you see Khan vs Floyd? I think Khan might have a chance. Hes pretty fast. Pac vs Bradley 2 will be a good oportunity to see Pac at full speed after the sparring session with Rios. He surely will want to assure nobody doubts he won last time.

 

Pac already agreed to a 45/55 in Floyds favor by the way


No , Pac needs to just accept that 40 mill or just give it up because Mayweather isn't giving up that much PPV.

 

Mayweather is going to destroy Khan. In fact, watch how Floyd will get criticised for fighting Khan by the fans. It will be looked at as if Pac is taking the real challenge in fighging Bradley while Floyd is taking the easy fight in fighting Khan.

 

I used to want to see Floyd vs Khan before his loss to Peterson and Garcia. But he does have speed though

I used to compete in boxing, got my ass handed to me at golden gloves 2 years ago. I have a hard to watching boxing these days, too much corruption, best fighters wont fight each other and too many champs per division. Im more into MMA now and still like watching the classics.

That is why i said it was controversial and there was a video released that showed why Pacquaio didn't do as good as dverybody thought in that fight. I do still think Pacquaio won the fight though

 

But basically, Pacquaio is still as good as he was before imo. He is just more cautious now and doesn't have the same power without Ariza

 

Oh and the Canelo fight was a perfect representation of the sweet science behind boxing. That was a masterful performance on a young primed and hungry fighter imo

Do you have any videos of it? And what weight class did you fight at?



Arius Dion on 26 January 2014

Love the sport. A student of the game as well. Boxed a little bit when younger, but was never super serious about it.

Mayweather/Khan- Khan is a glass jaw, he has decent boxing skills. The problem is, Floyd has seen the likes of a Khan throughout his career. Khan has never faced a fighter like Mayweather in his. Khan was gifted the victory in his last bout vs a virtual no name. Not the fight I'd like most to see Mayweather take next, but watching Floyd fight is always entertaining to me.

Pac/Bradley: Don't care about at all. Bradley is a good boxer but is a feather puncher. So he can't make Pac pay for the mistakes he makes, and he makes many. I'd rather see Pac fight the guy bradley fought before Marquez. His name escapes me atm.

In all honesty I think promotional conglomerates like GB and TR are hurting boxing. The fights people want to see most can't happen because promoters get in the way. Its disgusting. We have too many belts in Boxing as well right now.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

1.Yeah sure Martinez in his prime was a beast. Im sure it wouldve made Floyd put everything to win. Still Martinez vs Cotto will be also pretty nice to see.

2.Pacman lose to Bradley a second time? When did he lose the first time!?!?!? ;D ............seriously....NO.

3.I want to see Donaire period.


Here's why I lean Bradley in this fight: although he had an ugly showing against Provodnikov, he played the counter punch game with the #3 ranked pound4pounder JMM, and almost sent him to the canvas in the 12th.  Timothy Bradley, regardless of his controversial win on PacMan, is official.  And PacMan, nowadays?  Like Guile, I think he's become more of a *Family Man*, lately...  Congressman, humanitarian work...is he still hungry for this, anymore?  When you get sent to HELL like he did against JMM, you're not the same...I'll be watching, regardless.
