Simon I have seen on twitter that you like your boxing so no doubt you will be looking forward to the big fight tonight. Will you be having a bet? I'm tempted to have a bit on mayweather anytime stoppage at 7.2 and fight to finish between rouns 1-10 at 3.55. Should be a great fight and really like manny and would like to see him win but I think he will struggle with mayweathers speed , style and size. What do you think?
Well John its a tough one. 3-5 years ago i always thought The Money Man would be too good good for Manny but now they've both slightly dropped from their prime its a lot closer. I've been watching all the re-runs of both fighters last fights and although i can't really see past Mayweather on points ( which seems obvious I know ) Manny's sheer work rate and non stop attacking has drawn me closer to him now. I won't have a bet on either boxer as its too tight too call but i might dabble on the draw, we all know what scoring can be like and if it's tight everyone will want a bit of a rematch so that's where I'll probably go. Either way I can't wait, spent many long nights watching the likes of Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield etc and there's nothing better than a big fight. Nothing's come close to this since Leonard/Hagler. Good luck with your punt bud, hope it comes in.

Both past their is an understatement, its a rerun of the film GRUDGE MATCH , with DeNiro and Stallone.
Well it's not that bad yet Keith but another couple of years maybe 8-) Leonard and Hagler were a lot further down the line than these two and can see it being as tight. Get ya wedge on the draw bud ! We'll both trouser a few quid and Mayweather will get another 3 billion for the return
I have had a bet on a manny win at 9/4 purely as I would love o see him win and I think it represents a bit of value , 9/4 betfred and sky bet still offering if anyone wants best price.
Despite having a bet on Manny I think he will really struggle against Mayweather who just looks so much bigger and a good big un will always beat a good little un. Manny has been amazing but his recent fights havent been impressive and I think he has probably declined more than mayweather. Manny is naturally the much small fighter having fought as low as flyweight , you only need look at the Juan Manuel Marquez fights and manny looked a couple of divisions smaller but the same cannot be said of mayweather who was at least as big as Juan. I'm afraid size does matter and although a mayweather victory by decision looks the most likely outcome I wouldnt rule out a stoppage victory.
I think like lots of these big fights it would have been better 2 -3 years ago but age is not as much a barrier if the fighters have looked after themselves and not had too many tough fights which is another reason I think mayweather will win. Manny has been a great fighter but I think his best is behind him in a weight class too high and having had the harder fights . I just hope he never fights Khan who might have the beating of him infact Khan might have found the right time to beat the pair of them which was inconceivable a few years ago. Calzaghe got both roy jones and hopkins at the right time I just hope the future for these 2 isnt going to be a defeat at the hands of khan or someone like him.
