A boxing match, finally.

[NDKane21]

Ok, Manny vs. Floyd is set...so they say. Does anyone care? I mean...feel like I heard about this fight 100 years ago...

Regardless, I'll prob get the pay-per-veiw...chump, I am.

Boxing experts, if there is such a thing, what is up? Shed some light, please.

This being on ND's page I thought this was about the Bengal Bouts. But this is much, much bigger.

Obviously this fight would have been bigger 5 years ago before Manny's drop off. At the end of the day though these are 2 greats and it should be a fantastic fight. Their styles are pretty much exact opposites. Manny the speedy aggressor and Money the defensive counter puncher. Can't wait!!!

 

[SteelersPride]

I, must be the minority, am excited to see this go down. I'm far from a boxing fan but this has been brewing too long. And, also minority, hope Floyd whoops his ass...

I have watched and loved Manny for years. He will probably go down as one of my favorite athletes.
For a fighter to go through a gauntlet of some best Mexican fighters to ever step in the ring and beat all of them is pure greatness. Not to mention he is the only fighter to ever be an 8 division world champion.
His first fight Manny weighed 98 lbs. The rumor was he put rocks in his pocket to make the 105 weight limit.

Mayweather ..it's simple. I hate the guy with every fiber of my being. But the fact remains that he is the fastest and most accurate puncher to every step into the ring. He has no equal. I will also say this about Mayweather, he may have had 47 boxing matches but he has only been in a few fights. He's always been just a tad gutless in that he never wants to get inside and really mix it up.

The sad fact is that Manny has lost some speed and more important his energy level. Fighting Manny back in the day was a nightmare. You just could not keep him off you. On the flip side Manny is twice the boxer he used to be. He has come a long way from his days as a straight up brawler. And he is also has much more power.

In the end I can't see anything but the sad reality that this fight will go the way most Mayweathers fights go.

He is going to pepper Manny with that super fast jab that never misses and time his combinations accordingly.
The real problem with Mayweather is not his offense but his defense. He makes it impossible to get a glove on him. You expend a lot of energy just trying to land a punch.

Your fight against Mayweather consist of getting hit and swinging at someone who is not there. Nest thing you know it's the 12th round.

Manny does have a chance in this fight. Manny is always moving forward and some good head movement and if he can keep moving Mayweather he can avoid the worst of his offense. If you just stand in front of Mayweather, he will cut you to ribbons.

Manny is also really good at throwing punches from all angles that Mayweather may have trouble with. This coupled with that great straight left he throws ..... he just might pull it off.

Wouldn't that be awesome, prideful Floyd would demand a rematch...even better!!

 

[KnightAndDay]

Both have had a significant drop-off. Manny isnt quite the power puncher he used to be, and Floyd isnt as quick and elusive as he used to be.

Floyd has suffered the bigger drop-off IMO. Unlike Floyd's other opponents, Manny has the speed to keep up with him.

Little too tale. Both are washed up a little. Not excited. Wish this happen like 5 years ago.

Yes it will sell. Its their last big pay day. I will not buy but let me know how the fight is.

 

[poewelch84]

The fight won't be what it could have been because neither fighter is in their prime any more.

I have a funny feeling this fight won't happen. someone will have an "injury" or some other type of excuse for fight to be cancelled.
