I didn't mean to come off harsh. No love lost.
Anyone on here knows, when the subject of boxing is brought up on here,
I am going to check people.
I do it all day long in the real world and I can't help myself here.

I don't know of another fighter that has stalled a fight over this.
Learn your boxing history. I don't mean this in a bad way.
Sugar Ray Leornard did the same thing to Marvelous Marvin Hagler. It happens all the time in boxing.
What it comes down to is who will win the fight. Mayweather is a boxing genius and not just in the ring. He is a straight genius all the way.
He beats fighters
before they step into the ring. Like Ali. Like Sugar Ray.

Yes, looks like I am incorrect about Manny's age, but do you really think a fight where 33-34 year old guys passed there prime is going to prove who the better fighter was? Was Manny a better fighter three years ago or today?
I like that you admitted that you were wrong. I respect that.
As far as your question, who knows?
One year ago or so when Manny destroyed Margarito, people thought that was his best performance ever. And he was only getting better.
Now that most people (correctly) think he lost to Marquez, everyone thinks he is past his prime.
Again, who knows? He arguably lost to Marquez three times. Marquez has his number. I don't personally think Manny has faded too much if at all.

But really...Arum has always been the problem here. And I don't think Manny was so much hiding behind him as allowing his promoter to run things.
This is dead on. The promoters are always the biggest problems.
I am not throwing out an official prediction till before the fight, but I do take issue with people saying
"Maweather is scared of Manny" (or vice versa even though that is said to a less extent).
Mayweather "scared" of Manny? Come on.
The kid was born in a ring with gloves on his hands.
Neither of these guys are scared of anything, boxing-wise.
