It makes me even more excited when people predict what will happen, and the more you think about it, the quicker you want it to come. This fight isn’t just for us boxing fans; it’s for the whole world to enjoy. I know for a fact that David Haye got everyone in Britain talking, so this will get everyone talking. This may not turn out to be a cracker of a fight, but the publicity just makes it a fight you can’t miss, and the build up will be three times bigger than the build up for De La Hoya-Mayweather.

On paper they are the two best boxers on the planet, and whether you disagree or not, it is a fact. Maybe if Mayweather had have stopped Marquez this would be even more intriguing to die hard boxing fans, but he didn’t, but no one has succeeded in beating him so far in 40 fights and he does have some decent names in their. Don’t underestimate Floyd’s power either, he knocked Ricky down twice, although Manny did floor him twice, but I’m not saying Floyd has better power than Manny, I’m just saying don’t underestimate his strength.

I haven’t come to a conclusion yet, and it may take a bit of research on both fighters before I can predict what will happen in that ring on March 13th. Even if I do come to a conclusion I will never be 100% sure, and will maybe have more than 1 idea of the outcome.

The big questions for Mayweather are, can Floyd run and counter for 12 rounds and take a decision? Can Mayweather dodge all the punches coming from Pacquiao? If Floyd gets caught flush how will it affect him? Will he crack under the constant pressure from Manny?

The questions for Manny are, will the counter punches from Mayweather knock him off his stride? Will Manny lose concentration if he can’t get through to Mayweather? Will all Floyd’s trash talk get to his head, and affect his performance?

All these questions will be answered on March 13th, and if you don’t agree with what I’ve said, they are only questions which I thought of, and hopefully I will get an answer for all of them. There is no need to insult either fighter here, they both deserve our respect, and I have no favourite for this fight, and may the best man win.
