Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

By Ryan Dunn: In case you thought I was making a prediction with part one of this two-part piece, here is the other side of the equation. I know that fans on both side of the aisle are enthusiastic about the upcoming Mayweather vs. Mosley fight, and I am among them. This is a super [...]

By Ryan Dunn: If you look up the phrase “unanimous decision” in the dictionary, you might find a picture of Floyd Mayweather smiling back at you with that million dollar grin. But Manny Pacquiao has a relentless attack, unothodox punching power, and a solid chin. I believe those three qualities could spell complexity for Mayweather [...]

By Paul Williams: I want “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs “Pacman” Manny Pacquiao! With certain reservations, Floyd wins. First and foremost, lets get a huge point out the way. I am a Pacman fan and I want this to argue both sides. I don’t believe for a second the whole drug taunts are true, [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: When Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather square up on May 1st, I am pretty sure that Floyd will be the one who comes out on top. I think that Floyd’s defence and movement will stop Mosley from landing too much and his slick counter punching will get him the decision. However, I [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Freddie Roach seems to be conflicted about wanting Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. On one hand, Roach can’t stop talking about how much he wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next, and yet in the next breath, Roach is saying that Mayweather doesn’t make the rules in boxing. Roach, of course, [...]

By Esteban Garduno: I think it’s for the best that Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended up not fighting. If they had fought, I have a strong feeling that the Pacquiao hype machine would end on that night with Mayweather making Pacquiao look ridiculous in beating him either by knockout or a hopelessly one-sided [...]

by Glen Anglin: There is an all-too-common tendency among many boxing fans to attempt to promote the greatness of their chosen hero by denigrating their hero’s current rival. Currently, there is a blazing war of words between the respective fans of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather .

By Mike Hunt: I recently recieved my monthly dose of Boxing Monthly in the post and straight away I read the panel from people throughout the boxing world on the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight and who they think will win. I want to be able to forget about this fight for now at least but because it’s [...]

By Ryan Dunn: There has been more finger-pointing, slandering, name-calling, insulting, whining, crying, and in-fighting surroudning the Mayweather/Pacquiao negotiations than a kindergarten playground. I have engaged in several (hopefully spirited) debates myself, offering my point of view on the matter. Let me summarize what I personally believe to be the situation, and the readers can [...]

By William Mackay: In an interview at Sportsradiointerviews, undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. commented on why he thinks his March 13th mega fight with Manny Pacquiao went down the drains.

By Jonathan Bail:
Mayweather-Mosley on cards
I’m a person who has a love boxing and i’m on the internet almost everyday checking out various boxing websites for the latest fight news.
But I come across a lot of biased opinions or people that have not got a clue about the sport.

By Dave Lahr: In an interview from writer Gareth Davies at The Telegraph, trainer Freddie Roach revealed that his fighter Manny Pacquiao would have to “fight the perfect fight” to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. You can say that again, Roach. Pacquiao would have to not only fight the perfect fight, but Mayweather might have to [...]

By Steve Lewis: We still hear it, and once again, Roger Mayweather has gone on the air and lost more credibility when he told the folks at the Boxing Truth Radio Show that Manny Pacquiao was on “A-side meth,” a drug that apparently makes people literally bulletproof, according to the genius that is Roger Mayweather.

By Dave Lahr: Freddie Roach, the trainer of Manny Pacquiao, says that he thinks that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is afraid of Pacquiao. In an article at The Telegraph, Roach says “I’m convinced the more I at this that they [Mayweather and his team] are scared to fight us.” Roach may be seeing things through his [...]

By Jim Dower: Although Manny Pacquiao and his team feel that they did the right thing by not agreeing to take random blood tests within 24 days of the failed March 13th fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., I think Pacquiao may have made a mistake by not sticking it out and continuing to negotiate with [...]

By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum doesn’t sound like he’s ready to give in any about the random blood tests for a future fight between his fighter World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. In an article at the Manila Bulletin, Arum, 79, said this: “If Mayweather wants to [...]

By Kevin Fleck: March 13th 2010, the atmosphere thick with expectation, the crowd packed with the now familiar celebrity faces, the grand boxers of yesteryear and the rapturous crowd; all drowning in a concoction of pre-fight nerves, and noise not heard since the great Rumble in the Jungle, nearly half a century ago.

By Dave Lahr: A fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao may never take place in the future unless Mayweather or Pacquiao change their minds about the random blood testing for the fight.

By Ryan Dunn: Perhaps the most surprising factor in this entire Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao soap opera is the alarming rate at which fan interest has fallen flat on its face (much like “The Fight” itself). Aggressive discussion about who will win and who will lose when they enter the squared-circle has been replaced [...]

By Warren Cloud: The fact that the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight will not happen on March 13 (and will probably never will), is certainly a major disappointment for all boxing fans. What it boils down to is greed and unreasonable demands by the fighters, camps, and promoters involved. Most boxing professionals and analysts believe that this fight [...]
