Not much of a boxing fan. Just wanting some perspective.

Is this the biggest boxing match going in since the Tyson era?

Has there been a bigger fight in between?

Mayweather is a defensive style fighter. Paq is a free swinging wild man.

Mayweather will win

Floyd will run around the ring and Manny will chase him...

I'm asking that going in, is this the most hyped and most anticipated fight since the Tyson era?

Ok. I was wondering if it was bigger to boxing fans than May and De La Hoya several years ago. I remember that one being huge.

It's the biggest fight since Mayweather-Canelo in 2013, financially speaking.

As far as general hype among Americans, it's the biggest since De La Hoya-Mayweather in 2007.

Lol..far from free swinging. Pac is an aggressive fighter who presses, there's a big difference.

Mayweather as a Featherweight/Lightweight would aggressively walk fighters down(see Chavez or N'Dou). Mayweather as a Featherweight/Lightweight had some action packed fights.


As he moved up he did get a bit more cautious & refuse to stand there & take punches.

Slips punches & satisfied with a 1 or 2 punch counter.
