According to the newest issue of Ring Magazine it states:"Manny Pacquiao has requested that he remain the junior welterweight champion because he INTENDS to defend the title following his March 13 bout with Joshua Clottey, his second consecutive fight at welterweight..."
This can only lead to two conclusions, two men and two names: Bradley and Alexander...
LET'S BRING IT ON!!
there's only one real big super fight, that's floyd.
but if floyd loses, then its not a super fight anymore... its just a big fight (albeit bigger than anything at 140 lbs) along with a fight against mosley.
but dipping back into 140 isn't such a bad idea, as bradley and alexander can help pac prepare for a final showdown with floyd.
I don't really see why dipping back into 140 would be such a bad idea. pac can move up again and fight those ATG fights anytime.
Why does he need sooo much time to prepare for Mayweather? Pac is an ATG. He has beat some of the best of his era.
i'll let him duck may/mosley if he fights bradley/alexander/maidana/ortiz/khan/urango all by the end of the year.
that'd be some old school shit. 1 fight every month or two.
on free hbo and showtime too. :D
if mosley wins, then a fight will happen... but if floyd plays hardball, then a dip into 140 wouldn't be a bad idea.... pac can fight timmeh and devon so he gets used to a more defensive fight
And I agree it is. But the big fights are at 147.

no I see your point but for the last 4 fights I've doubted his ability and he's proven me and a lot of peoples wrong..margo, floyd and shane..could still provide that same kind of intrigue and bring big money for Pac..147 is where it's at..there are good fights to be made at 140 but there are "ATG" fights at 147..he beats those 3 names even his biggest detractors have to shut up...but as we see with floyd if someone hates you u can't do anything to impress them..I for one was sold with the cotto win, tonight would be amazing in my mind especially a KO.

what are you talking about 140 is deep as hell right now. 147 has been whittled down to floyd and pac.

it hasn't even been a year yet so i'll give him a pass at holding the ring belt hostage.
As soon as Alexander and Bradley sign a fight with each other, Pac should be stripped though.
]Valero would be a good fight. I'd rather see him do this than fight Margarito. But please not against someone like Zab Judah. I think Arum would want Pac to fight Valero to keep everything in house.
agreed.
i'd want to see valero at 140 against one of the big doggs there first, before they put him in there against manny.

Although I'm gonna be really pissed if Pac doesn't go back on his word to really defend the belt or else he's holding the division hostage. And the thing I want him to most anyway is fight the Mayweather-Mosley winner than go back to 140. So I'd just rather he vacate the Ring belt.
Would Pac-Man beating anybody at 140 mean anything? I'm not saying it's bad, just saying if he wins tonight moving to 140 doesn't do anything..If he's not fighting floyd or shane next..he mind as well attempt to clean out 147 and fight Margo..just my thoughts
Or fight the winner of Roy Jones/B Hop..........
At catchweight 138lbs.
Just kidding.

Hey Manny is the wbo welterweight champion of the world but is also the ring magazine Junir welterweight champion of the world. Cant blame a man who wants to be a champion in two of the hottest divisions in boxing.
you can if his trainer says they intend to stay at 147.....

How could this be true?
Flomos are claiming that he can't make 140 anymore. I wonder if that's as unfounded as the steroid rumors their spreading. :thinking1:
Not sure if it's true or not, I heard Pacquiao is wanting to clean out 140.

Yes, I do believe it is a back up plan if another failed negotiation with Floyd. But still Bradley is now the man at 140lbs 1.He is AA, 2.Has 0 loses. and 3.Considered as the slickest fighter of JWW. With some good hype instant mega fight.
I thought the only reason he requested it was because he had something to fall back on incase he lost Saturday??
And if he wins, he'll vacate the 140 belt and stay in 147 for money fights.
