Mayweather v Pacquiao

Rumours are this will be a very late wan, I would imagine it won't be before 5.

to an extent....but then so was the Thrilla in Manila

i really, really want manny to win, but i think the time since this fight should have been made has done a lot more harm to him than floyd. hope im wrong but i think Manny will be competitive, but ultimately lose a reasonably comfortable unanimous decision.  116-112 or some such

Should have happened 6 years ago when both were out their absolute prime, but they are still the biggest draws in boxing so better late than never. Although I wouldn't say either has dropped much below their best and I'm sure this fight will have also given them extra incentive to be in peak condition.

I would still argue that Mayweather is in his prime, he was excellent against Canelo. Maidana is just an awkward fighter who no one looks good against.

Head says Mayweather heart says pacquiao, but styles make fights not records so you never know, but this will be arguably be Mayweathers toughest opponent he's ever faced regardless of whether or not he's in or out of his prime including Gatti, De La Hoya, Cotto, Marquez, Maidana and so on.

Can't see anything other than a comfortable points victory for Mayweather

It's not about him being a concussive puncher. He may just catch Pac with a punch he doesn't see when he's coming forward and lunging into punches.

Mayweather has never been a fighter who relies on ko's to show how great he is whereas manny is the opposite; his last ko was in 2009 against a weight drained Cotto IIRC. Roach will have a good game plan but if it's a similar one to the one he tried with De La Hoya then it won't work because Pac is too small. I'd love to see Mayweather lose but I just don't see it happening.

Fight will start around 5.00 -5.30 am.
