Quote by STEVECFCyeah , Hatton was too open though .. Mayweather has struggled , imho , against two ageing greats , Mosely & De La Hoya , both well past their best .. silky and special he may be , but he's not fun to watch Mayweather ... he's the kinda fighter I just want to see knocked on his arse and put under real pressure .. A fight with Pacquio will provide this ...
Manny wont beat him, his defense is to good Steve thats what fucked Hatton the slip in side bang good night the best counter puncher in boxing today, Manny fights in bursts 1,2,3,4 guard up thats what Mayweather likes thats where he`ll catch him and to be honest not manny people can stand when he does catch them spot on,
I do like Manny great boxer but he suits MAyweather to good, I like what Floyd said at the HBO press conference every time he faces somebody the fighter media wright him off what happens? He goes out beats them
I'm not so sure mate . Look how Pacqiuo beat Morales and Barrera , two of the best ever , Mayweather doesn't like to be put under great pressure , if they fought my hard earnt would be all on Manny , no doubts in my mind , he'll wear Mayweather down - even De La Hoya was getting to Mayweather , he doesn't like a franetic pace ...
I agree with that Aircon, Mayweather is a masterful counter puncher, he definately would catch him on the counter, but I think what frightens Mayweather is Manny's power and energy, hes the human Duracell Bunny in boxing, he keeps on punching, and punching. His punch per round is staggering. Mayweather is all about his unbeaten record. Like he said in the face off hype thing with Ortiz, 'you put 41 in front of me, and 41 came up short' He cant say that shit to his opponent if he gets beat, which is why I think hes dodging Manny, therefore keeping his 'unbeaten' record.

Hatton kept up a frantic pace as did Zab Judah who he faught when he was in his prime a prime Artruo Gati, Jesus Chavez the list is endless Steve after a 2 year ring rust he fights Marquez who Manny is fighting next and wins the 12 rounds, He`s a natural welter weight and probably the best in world at that weight my money would be going on money
Have to agree with Connor here. As much as I admire Manny Pacqiuo as a boxer and would want him to win there's no getting away from the fact Mayweather, as much as his showmanship and general egotistical bravado stinks, is an outstanding boxer that stands above all that face him.
Mayweather is a complete cunt for throwing the whole "drugs testing" bollocks into the fold though, it smacks of him being slightly apprehensive of fighting Manny. Although he's reached the level where he can just play mind games with anyone he wants really. If the fight did go ahead though it all could backfire on him with Pacqiuo being more fired up because of it.

Agree but why would Manny reject taking it, Ortiz trained with Roach he agreed with the Olympic Drug testing. Manny has been fighting Floyds scraps Hatton, De la Hoya and Mosley
Its nothing more than stalling tactics. He doesn't want to fight Manny, that's obvious for everyone to see, although he or his camp would never admit to that. Mayweather will fight, who he wants to fight..... I just hope one day we get to see, the fight that every boxing enthusiast in the world is waiting for.
The drug testing thing is a bit confusing though, Manny says hes not good with needles, yet he has loads of tattoos? Strange.
sorry but if Mayweather was the complete fighter confident of beating anyone then he would stop all this bull-shit and fight Pacquio . Pacquio has never failed a test , most fighters are tested either before or after each fight on a random basis , Mayweather does nothing to excite me .

Hes openly said countless amounts off times he`ll only fight someone if they take the Olympic style drug testing he said it at a the HBO Golden boy promotions press conference last week, Its Manny whos out looking for Floyd hes the undefeated one beat 41 people put in front off him
