The Unappreciated Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. The haters
By D. Berry: I’ve been reading Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr articles on this site for a few months now and there is one thing I have noticed; people watch boxing but don’t understand it. So when I see people say that Floyd Mayweather Jr has boring fights, I laugh because they don’t have an idea what “boxing” is. Mayweather is one of, if not the best “boxers” I’ve ever seen in my life. The way he breaks his opponents down is really something to see. If you can’t understand Floyd’s style, its because you’re into checkers and fans of the sport like me, are into chess.

By Nino Tecson: It really makes me wonder what’s in store for boxing fans in 2010.

It is the biggest fight in years. Some might even say the biggest fight of the decade or even the biggest fight of the century.
Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather: Who wins and why?
By Jason Haynes: So finally, the fight the world has been waiting for, Pacquiao vs Mayweather, is to be negotiated and signed….or is it so? There have been rumours of Mayweather demanding 60-65 %, Pacquaio saying that the fight will never happen because he doesn’t think Mayweather wants to fight.
The fight will happen on March 13th and even though I feel that a fight of this magnitude should be in Dallas in front of 100,00, it will be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Boxing vs. Bloggers and Message Posters
By D. Thomason: I have given a lot of thought to the pending bout between pound 4 pound greats Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao and what stands out to me the most about the fight is how the biggest action might be taking place over message boards and blogs. It is no surprise that boxing is probably the most subjective of all sports as it pertains to deciding who the “best” is and this fight is no different.

Recently it was reported that Dallas was out of running to host the Mega-Fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao because Mayweather interests basically didn’t want it outside Vegas. Well money talks, and either Vegas or Dallas walks.
Paulie Malignaggi and the Pacquiao Steroids Nonsense
