I think Floyd would win by decision. He’s virtually unbeatable. But I would be rooting for Manny.

I tend to agree. Manny had a really hard time dealing with the counter punching of Marquez (in all three of their fights) and Mayweather is probably a better counter-puncher and definitely much bigger than Marquez. Manny's punch just isn't that devastating at the higher weights. I think the fight would be a lot like the Mayweather-Cotto fight: Manny would have his moments but Mayweather wins.

If Canelo Alvarez isn't rushed into a Mayweather fight and doesn't outgrow the division, he might be the guy who could finally topple Floyd. Give him a couple of years and the 23-24 yo Alvarez might make Mayweather look his 38-39 year-old age (like he did to Shane Mosley). The rumored plans of James Kirkland, then Miguel Cotto, then Manny, then Mayweather make sense for Alvarez in my opinion.

“I stand behind President Obama and support gay marriage,” Mayweather tweeted Wednesday. “I’m an American citizen and I believe people should live their life the way they want.

So based on this stupid comment then pedophiles can have sex with children?
Mayweather has been hit in the head too many times.........

Did I miss something?

“Pacquiao, 33-year-old Christian Filipino boxer and congressman”

Congressman? What? They have a congress in the Phillipines and they elected a 33 year old boxer to represent them?

RE: They have a congress in the Phillipines and they elected a 33 year old boxer to represent them?

The Philippine system of government is quite similar to the American system ( after all, they were our colony once ).

Pacquiao ran for Congress IN HIS DISTRICT ( just like Charles Rangel ran in his Harlem district and always gets elected ), and WON.

So yes, an active boxer is also a congressman representing his local district of the province of Sarangani.

Mayweather is a fag coward and will never get into the ring with Manny.

The only thing he does is run his mouth when it comes to Manny.

This would be one fight I'd pay to see and I haven't done that since Cassius Clay was a Christian and a young'un.

However, others recognized Mayweather as someone they did not expect to support the homosexual marriage movement.

"Three marriage equality supporters no one saw coming, 1) Jay-Z 2) Will Smith, 3) Floyd Mayweather," the person tweeted.

Obama explained his reasoning for supporting a redefinition of marriage, using the "Golden Rule" of loving one's neighbor as justification for ignoring other verses condemning homosexuality in the Bible.

Alrightee then...

Trying to warn or dissuade your neighbor from marching off to an eternity in hell is not love.

Telling your neighbor, as you know he is marching off to an eternity in hell, that you affirm and celebrate his lifestyle and choices (even though you know his end destination eternity in a fiery pit) ... is love...

Is Mayweather a homosexual?

His nickname is "Bunny"... I guess now we know why.
