Yeah, that is not a given for Wilder. I really hope he wins and think he will but Povetkin will pose real problems, and good luck getting a decision in Moscow.

Povetkin is a little short (6-2) so he could have trouble in this age of massive HW, but he's a skilled fighter with plenty of power. I don't know what the lines are, but I'd bet Povetkin there.

Bradley tonight. I think Manny just isn't special anymore. Tim can be busy and outwork Manny.

Yea i think bradley is better than he was in the past two fights. Im not sure what Manny we will see. Assuming Manny was indeed injured in the mayweather fight, maybe we see Manny back to his old self. A little older but still able to outwork Bradley. Or, maybe hes past his prime and not special any longer. Im not sure honestly. I think Manny will leave it all in the ring and that will give him the win. Should be a good fight either way.

Looked like the thread title needed an update fellas 
Interested to see the fight tonight, I can see both ilov and pinky's thought processes panning out and that would in all liklihood be why that fighter won. Im leaning Bradley but if its truly Pacman's last fight and he knows it then he could be special again for a night.

Ramirez looking impressive and likely to get a major boost as well vs what has to be tougher opponent in Abraham.

Pretty good man, and yourself? Hoping to hit up the old stomping grounds more in the near future.

Nice rally by Desert Storm for a round and a half but that last KD seals it for Pac barring a KO

Pacman is declining. but he is still better than almost everyone in the division. i hope he fights again.

Thanks for the stream. Saw from round 7 on. So - one more mega fight with Mayweather?

Don't think the Mayweather fight's gonna happen, but Pacquiao looked surprisingly good. I think the fight was up in the air until the knockdowns, and that kind of sealed it. Bradley didn't do near enough to try and get a desperation KO.

Id like to see pacman beat up that mayweather wannabe Broner

I get what you're saying, but if Pac has any fights left, I'd hope he wouldn't waste them on that clown.
Gonna be interesting to see if someone can take control of 147. Thurman, Garcia, Brook and Vargas each own a belt right now.

Canelo would absolutely destroy PacMan.
Mayweather would embarrass him into retirement.
GGG would leave PacMan a crumpled mess.
Not sure who Pacman can fight next...maybe Broner...but who cares.
I really can't see another fight for Pacman...most that we'd want to see...he'd lose, handily.
The one's he'd win...who cares.
Just stay retired.

I am very skeptical of him being done. I know he wants to focus more on politics and this "retirement" might be part of his Senate campaign to show he will focus completely on his country. I still have a hard time seeing him pass up another massive fight- especially one in his home country where he could draw. I think GGG and Floyd would easily beat Manny. I think the Canelo fight could be interesting. Manny against the winner of Thurman or Porter would be a huge fight. Crawford would be a great great fight. If Khan somehow beats Canelo, then he would be a logical opponent. There are plenty of big time options. Manny is a gatekeeper and guys like Kell Brook or Danny Garcia could use a chance to beat Manny to crossover into potential mainstream consciousness. Manny vs Provodnikov or Viktor Postol would just be plain fun.

I still think its an interesting matchup. I also think there is a chance pacquiao really was hampered by his shoulder in the first one and could fight a better fight a second time around.

Im with you because his fights are boring as #### but id watch him and manny go again.
BustedKnuckles
Footballguy
thats because he doesnt ''fight'' he just moves and pops little baby punches and moves again...i respect the art of boxing where hitting and not getting hit is the main objective ...and he is an artist in that respect...but something about him leaves me feeling so unimpressed and unfulfilled after each and every fight...he could go back in time and fight any of the greatest legends in his division and and i still would have zero interest in seeing it

Nothing he was doing worked. It wasn't like he was getting hurt and was in any danger of being knocked out, but Mayweather was so good that he literally beat him to the punch almost every time. Mayweather was incredible, but when was the last fight where he dropped someone, aside from Ortiz?
Not taking anything away from him, but I understand the criticism of his style. Effective as it was.
+1 on Spence, he is an issue. He's not gonna be on free television for much longer.

I think it will be neutral. He never had a real foil like Ali or Joe Louis had. It seemed like he used his position to avoid certain fighters at certain points. In the end, he never came close to losing, He beat Manny, Oscar, Canelo, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley, etc. These are some of the best of the best of the era. IMO, he will be remembered for being so good and so tough to hit that he made great fighters boring.

I think Mayweather's transgressions as a human being will ding him more, historically, than his style. I don't think he'll ever be considered as great as Ali, Robinson, Louis, etc. But maybe the next tier down.
