But its not become an irrelevant affair like one past his best fighter fighting one approaching his or in his peak, like when Holmes fought Ali...
In the end of the day they are both similarly aged and past their best, Mayweather is older now and was older 5 years ago... overall Manny might be abit more shot worn , but thats down to his fighting style, wheras Mayweathers fighting style is preserving..
Out of the Ali-frazier trilogy, the third was by far the best and most brutal as both fighters were past their best, and both crossed paths at perfectly the right time...
i believe the result now will be the same as it would have been 5 years ago.... Mayweather decsion.

This would be a good fight!gooner1 wrote:Golovkin v Cotto is the fight I'd like to see, but apparently Cotto doesn't fancy it one little bit.
I think that will be his game plan as always but manny has the skill required to draw him into a bit of a scrap.. hopefully lolMitchen wrote:It'll be a typical boring frustrating Floyd fight, with him jabbing and running... at the end when he wins on points (yawn) and Manny's there like "wtf the guy didn't even fight me".. Just like Saul Alvarez did.. they'll say he was the GOAT when in actual fact he never actually stands and fights.
Exactly why I watch UFC these days and barely any boxing.
I will put a lot of money that it turns out to be exactly this... if it's got Mayweather involved then any hope of a great fight is out of the question.Cypriotgeeza wrote:I just hope it actually lives up to the hype and isn't a boring 12 round decision
Zero chance of a scrap! A masterclass of defensive boxing with very little chance of a KO I'm afraid.Mitchen wrote:I will put a lot of money that it turns out to be exactly this... if it's got Mayweather involved then any hope of a great fight is out of the question.Cypriotgeeza wrote:I just hope it actually lives up to the hype and isn't a boring 12 round decision
I won't be sucked in by the hype lol.
This would be a totally one sided bloodbath imo...gooner1 wrote:Golovkin v Cotto is the fight I'd like to see, but apparently Cotto doesn't fancy it one little bit.
Certainly not, I think his defence is easily the best I've ever seen and very, very technical. The downside to having a negating skill such as that is you're very rarely going to be involved in a crowd pleasing scrap. I learned a long time ago that the best way to enjoy a Mayweather fight is to almost only watch him luring opponents in and continually setting them up. He is that good.gooner1 wrote:You can hardly blame a man for fighting to his strengths.
I think almost every fighter at around Mayweathers weight class and even up or down a division or two would love a crack at Mayweather.gooner1 wrote:Indeed. Golovkin has already said he'd fight Mayweather at MW.
Mike Tyson was a highly technical fighter with a tremendous defence.87mtech27 wrote:Precisely, Money May is a defensive boxer not Iron Mike type of brawler.

Im really not an Amir "Khant" fan tbh lolImysE30 wrote:Possibility of Khan vs Bradley on the undercard
I'm not either but he has vastly improved since he's joined Hunter's camp.Cypriotgeeza wrote:Im really not an Amir "Khant" fan tbh lolImysE30 wrote:Possibility of Khan vs Bradley on the undercard
Bradley is not a very hard puncher, he is quick, but i can see another night of kahn jumping in..giving a 1-2 possibly 3 then jumping out again and racking up another points decision..iffff he doesnt get ko'd by a counter punch which he doesnt see
Tyson is my favorite boxer of all time. Totally agree his Peek-a-boo style was unique, his defense was impregnable and speed unrivaled. Had Cus been alive a little longer I believe Tyson could have easily become the greatest boxer ever.singlezero wrote:Mike Tyson was a highly technical fighter with a tremendous defence.87mtech27 wrote:Precisely, Money May is a defensive boxer not Iron Mike type of brawler.

I tried training peek-a-boo a number of times and it's exhausting; working major muscle groups like nothing else. The amount of work and dedication he put in to be able to move so naturally like that is mind numbing!87mtech27 wrote:Tyson is my favorite boxer of all time.
