By Rafa Garcia: I write this article due to the fan mania, controversy and never-ending debate surrounding these two unique fighters. These two fighters are not only known for there talent in the ring but there personalities outside of it. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is recognized not only for his limitless talent inside the ring, but his far reaching charity work and position in congress. Nothing seems too much for the humble Pacquiao when endearing himself to the wider public.

Pacquiao-Mayweather: Two fighters failing to live up to their potential
By Rafa Garcia: This article is in regards to both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, both men have been a hot topic for boxing fans worldwide. The mega-fight that hasn’t happened is dividing opinion as to why the fight hasn’t been made, who has the best resume and the superior skills inside the squared circle. In regards to fight records i strongly believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a padded, carefully constructed record to say the least. Mayweather is 41-0 including 25 knockouts, 16 decisions, his most notable victories are against Diego Corrales a prime Jose Luis Castillo and the Golden boy Oscar De La Hoya all three were at the top of there game at the time, before, in-between and after those fights his opponents have been seriously flawed in one way or the other.
One Reigns, The Other Pours
By Edward Davis: I want to start off this article by stating that I do not write as a fan nor do I write as someone with an overly evaluated opinion. But what I write is factual and worthy of taking an interest to. Please read with understanding.
The dying star in Floyd Mayweather Jr.
By Babatis Banda: It is almost certain that the star is losing its sparkle. This young man is not known for brutally knocking out his opponents, he is not known for brutal strength and punching power and neither is he known for being a hero or role model, but a pure intelligent ring master. My belief is that Floyd, like any other aging fighter is losing the edge. Time does not wait for anybody and Floyd is soon to realize that he cannot remain in top form for ever.
All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather
By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: Manny Pacquiao’s career has been circumnavigated around several blockades and recently it has found its way to Top Rank Stable Avenue. No stopping at Gary Shaw’s Place, or Don King Avenue, or Main Events Road. Nope.
Steward: Pacquiao has slipped a bit; Mayweather would beat him
By Dave Lahr: The great trainer Emanuel Steward saw Manny Pacquiao’s recent fight with Shane Mosley last weekend and came away from it thinking that Pacquiao is starting to lose his physical skills. It didn’t take a great trainer like Steward to point that out, though, because it’s painfully clear just by looking at Pacquiao that he’s starting to slow down as a fighter. The old legs aren’t moving his small frame around the ring like it used to.
Mayweather did a better job against Mosley than Pacquiao
By Eric Thomas: In analyzing how Floyd Mayweather Jr. did against Shane Mosley in his one-sided 12 round decision win last year in May and comparing it to Manny Pacquiao’s victory last night in Las Vegas, I’ve come to the conclusion that Mayweather did a much better job against Mosley than Pacquiao. It’s not even close. Other than the one punch where Mayweather was briefly hurt in the 2nd round, he dominated Mosley and was rarely hit him in the fight.
Mayweather to fight Victor Ortiz on September 17th?
By Richard Hall: It remains the most important fight that can be made in boxing today: Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) against Floyd Mayweather (41-0-0, 25 KO’s) Junior. Almost immediately after the disappointing but lopsided points win he’d scored over a reluctant “Sugar” Shane Mosley last night, Pound-for-Pound king Pac-Man was asked if he will fight “Money” next. As usual, the 32-year-old megastar uttered his “I’ll fight whoever Bob Arum puts in front of me,” Neither ruling out nor confirming a fight with the legally-troubled Mayweather.
Pacquiao looked heavy, slow and old against Mosley: Manny would have lost to Mayweather
By Eric Thomas: It was shocking how heavy, slow and lethargic WBO Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) looked in beating 39-year-old Shane Mosley (46-7-1, 39 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you compare Pacquiao to his performance against Miguel Cotto from only two years ago, Pacquiao looks a lot slower, less active and without the ability to jump in and out like he used to be able to do. He looked swelled up with too much speed-limiting muscle last night. I think it was a bad idea for Pacquiao to pack on all that muscle because it doesn’t look to be benefiting him. At this point in his career, Pacquiao looks more like a slow plodding type fighter.
Pacquiao beats Mosley, but doesn’t look ready for Mayweather
By Dallan O’ Donnell: Last night’s fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley may have been one of Manny’s worst performances of recent times, and fans may not be happy with how both fighters went about their business but we did learn something of great importance: Manny Pacquiao does not look capable of beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have been a long time advocate that Pacquiao would beat Mayweather with his superior work rate and relentless attack round after round, but after seeing a 39-year old Shane Mosley make the pound for pound king look as ordinary as he did I have had to change my stance.
