    Will it happen? They both are calling each other out. If they do fight I like Money Mayweather.. What your thoughts?

    I think it's the hype machine for another boring ass boxing match starting.

    Pacquiao is past his prime and he would just be doing it for a money grab. Go get paid.

    Money would win. There would be no knock outs or knock downs, neither fighter has power. I still want to see it. I think it would be a tough fight to score.

    I heard $300m, so I think it has a great chance of finally happening. It would certainly be the most anticipated fight of this Century.

    It should happen, and I hope that it does.

    It won't happen, Floyd wants no part of Manny. Everything Floyd said was bullshit, Manny had already agreed to Floyd's demands and Floyd wound't fight him. Now Floyd is lowballing him on the money and Manny said fine, let's fight. Floyd won't fight Manny. Just like he won't fight Khan and he waited for Cotto to get his face rearranged before he would fight him. The Cotto/Mayweather fight should have happened 3 years before it did.

    Manny has some power, he nearly knocked Hatton's block off in the 2nd round (it took Mayweather quite a few rounds more to beat Hatton) , Manny has KO'd a few of the guys Floyd went to a decision with. Manny was hitting Algieri with some power punches. I would say it's more likely Manny knocks out Floyd then the other way around. If they did end up fighting it'll be the usual boring Floyd (which is actually really good boxing) and Manny being like a badger looking for food. I think Floyd's defense is too good but he looked slower in his last fight whereas Manny looked to be in good shape against Algieri but I think Floyd would win in a decision but I think it could be close.

    I like Manny and think Floyd is a bitch but at this point I think Floyd is too good of a defensive fighter. He will do what he does which is sit back and defend and throw jabs and win a boring ass decision

    I'd absolutely love to see Mayweather lose but I dunno if the 2015 version of Manny can get it done.

    True, once Manny got punched in the face by Marquez and lost is when I truly lost all interest. And with Mayweather bitching his way to wins with inferior boxers

    GGG is the best fighter that nobody wants to face. I would love to see GGG vs either one of them.

    GGG said he could come down to 154lbs for a big fight. I think he called out Cotto specifically, who has fought both Pacq and Money; not impossible fight; although neither would risk getting into the ring with a hungrier, younger, more powerful, primed fighter. (you're right though GGG is probably still too heavy for both)

    I think GGG is best pound for pound right now, kids got unreal power. There are just a ton of fights that I would love to see right now and not enough time. Too bad the Heavy Weight Class is complete shit.

    Boxing is the best sport in the world, IMO.

    Pacquiao will get after Mayweather. He may not put him down but I think with Manny chasing after Mayweather and controlling most of the fight he ends up winning the decision.
    Edit: If the fight happens.

    I think GGG would destroy both of them so it won't happen but Erislandy Lara called out Glolovkin saying he would give him "Cuban school lessons". Lara is a pretty good fighter but he lost to Cannelo Alvarez and I think GGG would take Lara to school.

    I would like to see GGG and Mikey Garcia. They both have power, the fight would surly end in knock out with several knockdowns. They would keep getting back up. GGG would win though.

    I heard GGG is a great golfer too. Like, he could be on the PGA Tour if he wanted to.

    I know ppl don't like Bronner, but I would like to see him fight some more. He looked out of shape against Maidana. I wonder if he can have a resurgence or if Maidana was his ceiling. He just might be too immature to ever reach his full potential. Kind of be on the same tier as like Rios, Alvarez

    I think Mayweather would roll Khan, not interested in that fight much. Just want the Mayweather-Pacq fight so we can all lay that debate to rest. They have propped up the fight so well that its a no-brainer $$$ money wise. It will be a fairly lame fight and I doubt there will be any knockdowns, but it needs to happen for boxing fans.

    Liking this Crawford kid now too. He puts on a good show, really talented fighter. Just seems to have a ton skill, great back story and very technical fighter. He's fun to watch.

    Ruslan-Bradley was the best fight that I have seen in awhile as far as entertainment. I instantly became a Bradley fan. Algeri did a nice job against Ruslan as well. You just can't get in a phone booth with him, he will kill you in there. If you 'box' him, you can beat him.

    Andy Lee fight was awesome. Love the Irish.

    So many good fights, such a great sport.

    Boxing needs a shot in the arm like this. I can't stand MMA because it is essentially two sweaty guys hugging each other. Boxing has to figure out how to get back in the mainstream.
