rumours are strong that a fight could happen on May 5th this year, with Floyd Mayweather tweeting the following

is that his real acc? if so i hope it happens, mayweather has bottled it a few times by trying to make manny take dope tests, an insult on its own to pac, i think manny would beat him.

I meant to post this the other day but forgot oops.......it does sound like it will actually happen in what would/could be a fight up there with Sugar Ray against Haggler or Hearns etc. Two great fighters with contrasting styles.....it would be a cracker. Mind you I am not sure how you can have a jail sentence delayed so that you can fit a fight in.

The Leonard/Haggler/Hearns fights have to be amongst (if not the) best fighyts I have ever seen.......any other classics anybody can think of.....and what do you reckon Mayweather or Manny........I am really struggling to call it.

Mayweather better hope it happens, his camp have already booked the venue

Roberto Duran was another top fighter from that era.

Thanks Jay....it was annoying the hell out of me as to who I had missed out (and I knew I had missed someone but didn't want to google) from that era

No worries. Any time I've seen him in old fights he looked like a total warrior who would fight to the death if necessary.

Manny's camp are saying that it makes no sense for them to take the fight on May 5th........

If the venues booked, the Mayweather camp better do some persuading
