By Al Francis: For me, there are five key questions surrounding the proposed mega fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. It’s the biggest fight that could be made and to say it could be the most anticipated fight of the decade is not false hype. In my last article, I admitted defeat regarding my wrong prediction of the Pacquiao-Cotto fight, for this article I attempt to answer these five questions I have posed and in turn put myself on the line again with a couple more predictions! Hope you enjoy.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao – The article to make or stop all discussion
By Adam Fillingham: I have written a few articles on this website. Some controversial, some not so. But I intensely read the articles posted on this website and in recent times the main discussion is around the ‘mega’ fight between Manny ‘Pac-Man’ Pacquiao and Floyd ‘money’ Mayweather.
Floyd Mayweather Snr: ”Pacquiao can’t fight at all” – News
By Liam Santiago: Legendary boxing trainer and expert Floyd Mayweather Snr has now had time to analyze the Pacquiao/Cotto fight in more detail and, like myself and many other boxing experts, he is not impressed with Pacquiao. Pacquiao can not fight someone who goes back (like Mayweather), he doesn’t move his head and he rarely fights at the normal weight limit. Mayweather said to Fight Hype, ”I don’t even think he is a good fighter no more.”
Nate Campbell: ”Pacquiao aint beating these guys at their actual weight”
By Liam Santiago: Thank you Nate Campbell. Finally, someone with some sense. Manny Pacquiao has really been boiling my kettle lately with his wins over fighter’s who were either shot, weight drained, or shot and weight drained. However, I am certainly not alone in my thinking, lightweight legend Nate Campbell sides with me. Speaking to fight hype Campbell said, ”that two pounds to get down to 145 must have really hurt him”.
Pacquiao: Show him some respect – I haven’t
By Liam Brindle: I honestly believe that too many people (including myself) have seriously underestimated Manny ‘Pac-Man’ Pacquiao. Every fight he has had in the past 12 months there seems to have been hundreds of people doubting the little Filipino. Whether it is on sites like this one, Forums, Boxing pundits, Fellow fighters and even boxing trainers. If I go back to 10th December 2008 I was boarding a flight from Manchester destined for the bright lights of Las Vegas to watch a fight that had been dubbed ‘The Dream Match’.
Why Floyd “Money” Mayweather Might have a chance against the Mighty Pacquiao
By Derrick Villanueva: I recently wrote an article entitled 5 Reasons Why You Should Bet on Pacquiao. I think it’s only fair to write a similar article for “Money.”
“Money” has Great Defense – I’ve never seen a better defensive fighter than Mayweather. Never. Maybe Ali in his early career, but that’s about it. “Money” is quick, slippery, and nigh un-hittable-like a Young James Toney on Meth. Those punches that do connect slide off or is rolled with, resulting in minimal or no damage. I hate to say it but Mayweather is nothing short of Brilliant in this department.
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: It’s about composure and movement
By Harold Tackie: I have seen a lot of rubbish articles regarding the possible fight between two fighters regarded as pound-4-pound the best in the world. Some be Floyd Mayweather Jr. will get hammered because all he does is run; others believe World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will get hammered because he is not on par with Mayweather in any way, shape or form. The thing that strikes me is that the majority of these opinions are purely based on the last couple fights each man has had and based on their character. As easy at it is to disparaging to each fighter, I am going to try to base my opinion on fact and actual boxing, and leave emotion out of it.

Can Pacquiao carry out the game plan that the De La Hoya failed to finish?
By Matt Matel: After a string of near blow out victories over Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto, The main man Manny Pacquiao from General Santos City is now setting his sights on what could potentially be the most lucrative match in the history of boxing. The would be promoters of the match would most likely have the working title “Pound for Pound” which is more classy one compared to the last 2 outings that Pacquiao had (Firepower and East vs West).
Pacquiao the ‘Fighter of the Year’ for 2009?
By Manuel Perez: Now that we’re getting close to the end of 2009, some of the popular magazines and what not will probably be selecting a ‘Fighter of the Year’ award for 2009. Well, knowing how much of a big deal was made out of Manny Pacquiao’s win over Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton in 2009, some of them might think about giving the award to Pacquiao. Personally, I wouldn’t even consider giving that award to Pacquiao. If they want to give the award to someone, they need to give it to Amir Khan.
