    Still don't think he's ready. Mayweather would counter him pretty easy. That's what Lopez was doing, but couldn't back him off. I don't know if Mayweather could either, but that speed??

    That's what makes for a great fight. It would be a good match up. If Mayweather beats him, It would show how, superior boxing can still prevail. These two are SO different in styles. I think in EVERY way. I doubt Mayweather will fight him though.

    It would be a great contrast. Alvarez is so heavy handed, and isn't slow himself.

    For what it's worth..Not much. Pacquiao has agreed to a 45-55 spit instead of the 50-50 he was asking from Floyd, and agrees to the random drug test, so what's next? This fight is 2 years too late anyway, more hype than anything now.

    I don't even care for those two anymore, other than I would LOVE to see Canelo defeat Mayweather. Maybe Canelo wouldn't win, but I'm sure we can all agree that he would HURT Mayweather worse than what Cotto did. You're right, this fight is 2 years too late.

    Well there ya go. I wonder if Pacman finally "gave in" to Floyd's request/wants so they can make this fight happen.

    Is Pacquiao bored with boxing?? Fighting Marquez for the fourth time wouldn't get either boxer excited I would imagine. But that fight will bring a lot more money than the Pac-Bradley rematch.

    **I would rather fight Bradley in a rematch for free than take on Marquez again. Revenge would be sweet**

    But we all know it doesn't work like that. It's a business first, boxing second. ;)

    Would be great to see Manny and Floyd duke it out as I would place money on it being Pacman's last professional fight. He wants to go out in one last "superfight"...............which probably should have happened two years ago.

    Either way, I can't wait to see it. :D

    This Sat. Brandon Rios vs Mike Alvarado. This should be a slug fest for as long as it last's. People are saying Gatti/Ward like. Of course it won't be because of the premature stoppages nowadays but it intrigued me enough to get a front row center seat.

    After Rios' last fight, I was left very unimpressed. I think it was his last fight. Haven't kept up with him since that fight he "won".

    Agreed, but he was dried out trying to make weight. He should be more effective at 140.

    What a very good one! I won't say great because again, it was stopped too soon. Freakin Ref's always rob us of the definitive KO.

    Wow Adrien Broner. This guy is the next All Time Great Fighter, and I didn't think they made them any more. I've never seen someone as aggressive and with a defense like he has, even better than Floyd at 23. I noticed he even sits on his stool exactly the same way Floyd does just before the bell rings.

    With his current legal troubles and drug problems, maybe he'll get his act together

    My source says he has been pulled off life support. Apparently he's donating his organs. I wonder if they can even be used, with his excessive cocaine use and what not.

    I was watching some of his older fights, looked dominating but I don't know if it was because of his skills or weak competition. His fights against De La Hoya and Chavez, I wasn't impressed at all. He got schooled by both of those fighters. Half the time he was just clinching, the other half he was running a marathon.
