For Pacquiao, Wouldn't it be best to try to make the Mayweather fight happen now? - Page 2

floyd has only been away for like 3 months lol..i doubt he will suffer from ring rust. manny pacquiao imo is on the decline so i think it would be more to floyd's advantage to get a fight with pac right away.

I don't think manny even necessarily needs to lose to Marquez again to kill the prospects of a Mayweather fight next year. If Marquez just makes it competitive, that'll be enough.

Right I have it the same way, that Manny won the first time, but like you say, if Bradley goes in there and knows Pacquiaos gameplan... pulls off a clean victory, once again the fight is down the drain.

Floyd has to lose a couple fights first, then we'll get him with a catchweight!

he goes in there with more confidence. either fighter can give pac a loss and if that happens we will never see that fight

Give it up. I gave up this fight long time ago. Floyd how ever great he is was scared sh*t with Pacquiao. The next ridiculous demand now is the fight should be at 154 or no fight and we all know Pac said he will never fight again above 147 after Margarito cracked his ribs at 150.

which technically would not be to bad, because Floyd is the 154 champion. So it wouldn't be total non sense. But I do understand that it would be to much to ask of Pacquiao.

Pac has been slowing down, so I won't be surprised if Floyd starts welcoming the idea of fighting Pac, finally.

Word around town that he starts training this very weekend, running a few trials at the gym soon, only time will tell if cameras are allowed, I would think so though.

Manny couldn't care less. He just lets Bob Arum pick his fights for him. I think he's just happy making good money and getting a lot of attention. This has been illustrated many times. They have asked him over and over again : "Manny, do you want to fight Floyd Mayweather?" and every time he says the same thing while sweating and looking worried and uninterested. "Uh, uh, hmm, uhh, uhh, uhh, it depends on my promoter, Bob Arum!"

Here's a great video that pretty much sums it up. Very frustrating.
