Any Fight Fans?

Surprised to not see any major topics in regards to Boxing or MMA floating around.
Boxing has had a great year this year. MMA's struggled, in my mind, due to injuries to some of it's bigger names, but is still going strong.
What fights are people most looking forward to?

MMA is basically mandingo cock fighting so you might get a response from Elano
i did watch the lsat Mayweather fight, hoping he'd lose
whoisthis:
Mayweather vs Guerrero was a laugher from the moment it was announced. I was live at the fight when Guerrero beat Berto and called out Floyd. I told my wife then that he was not ready. He got in the ring and got worked.
Canelo, I feel, is still too young to fight Floyd. Plus he's got really questionable stamina, which is a must against Floyd. If he's able to tag Floyd early and hurt Floyd, he has a shot. But, if by round 4 it's 3-0 Floyd on the cards, it's over. Floyd's confidence will be sky high and Canelo will play right into his hands.
Honestly, I think only Pac-Man has a real shot at beating Floyd. He's fast enough. He doesn't just throw a straight jab, he throws at weird angles and is constantly pressuring fighters, which Floyd hates. But, that's a pipe dream and will never happen.

yeah Pacman vs Floyd would have been amazing 1-2 years ago.....right now it'd still be good but those two hate each other and will never agree on a date until they are both way past their primes

No doubt about the fact that a fight with Floyd and Manny 2 years ago would've been HUGE. This fight with Canelo is going to be the biggest PPV in fight history probably, but it would've been nothing compared to what Floyd/Manny could've been.
The problem then was Golden Boy being upset with Manny that they were no longer able to get a cut of his fights, as Top Rank was his outright promoter (they used to split Manny). After that, the pissing match between Arum and De La Hoya started. Small time fights were being made and so on. So, the promoters screwed that up then. Now, Floyd is pissing all over the fight even though Manny is offering him a fair deal. Floyd will never accept someones offer, he feels he's lost then. The deal HAS to be in his favor and has to be his idea. So, it'll probably never happen.
