    Go the Pacman



    Humility should always beat ego.

    My pick - Pacquiao in the 10th.

    I would like to see Manny win because I belive that Floyd is a horrible human being. However he is a horrible human being who is almost unbelievably good. I think his superior defence and counterpunching might lull Manny into doing something stupid (a la Marquez).

    But who knows. TAB had it 1.45 to TMT and 2.60 to Manny last time I looked. I dont bet so havent checked lately.

    I will be watching with interest and cheering for Manny.

    Win or lose, Pacquiao will go on to be a man of great things for his country.

    Mayweather will just fade away into oblivion.

    He'll always be remembered as a stellar boxer. And a horrible human being.

    Manny's a senator already I think.

    Did you watch Klitchko at the weekend? Not particularly inspiring I thought. Workmanlike.

    I bet that Hayden Panettiere had to have a C section though. She is tiny and Wlad likely bred big babies.....

    Heavyweight boxing has long been over-rated.

    I'm still tossing up whether to go for the pay-to-view.

    Last time I did that was the Cameron/Tua fight.

    More fool me.

    I will be waiting for the radio news for the result - good luck to both fighters - I feel Pacquaio will win but I really respect Mayweather as a boxer!

    I hope that both men leave boxing in good light and that the bout lives up to all it's promotion hype!

    I've just been watching clips of Mayweather. He's really good.... the left hook that decked Hatton, the feet and head movement.

    Such a quick right too.

    My pick is Mayweather - just. The guy is undeniably a monster in the ring and arguably the greatest boxer in his weight division of all time.

    That said however - I would like Manny to win, he fights for more than himself, when he fights, he is fighting for his country - I think we will see a lot of passion and emotion from Manny, my hope is that it makes him stronger in the ring, but I fear it may swing the other way, with Manny fighting from the heart instead of the head.

    Eitherway - should be a good fight - we have a Phillipino lady in the office and she is super psyched for the fight - each time Manny fights apparently its like a public holiday in the Phillipines.

    i think what Pacman brings to the table is more of an Ali type figure, that he stands up for what be believes and uses his boxing success for the good of people, Mayweather may be one of the best ever, but he is a class A douche, with the prison record to match,

    I hope Pacman knocks him out, but I beleive Mayweather will win on points,

    Funnily enough, that's how I do my betting. It's probably why I'm so shit at it.

    I'll be putting my traditional $10 on the Kiwis for a 13+ win in the ANZAC test tonight.

    From memory it's only ever worked for me once before.

    Joseph Parker is changing that. Fast. Fastest hands of any heavyweight I've ever seen too.

    Love to see Pacman squish the clowns face in...but don't think he will.

    The Klitchko brothers are workmanlike fighters ... their size is everything .. fucken hard to reach let alone hit with power

    Parker also has unbelievable power to go with the speed as well. A future world heavyweight champion there ..

    Yeah and he'll only get more power as he goes.
