    mayweather probably rather fight big show again than step into the boxing ring with the true P4P king! (Floyd retired or not)

        All of you are insane. 1 guy said that Pac is the new Oscar and Floyd would have to fight on his terms. You cant be serious. Floyd has made way way way more money in his career then Pac and is a bigger money PPV fighter then Pac is.

        Im 50/50 on Floyd fighting at 140. He can definatly still make that weight but I dont think he fights there unless he's definatly not ever going to fight at WW again. No way he would risk going down in weight if it was possible that he would fight a big WW again because it would just throw his body off way too much.

        3rd and most importantly, you guys are insane if you think Pac wins, or if you think Floyd wins by UD, or if you think Pac has a better chance at 140, or if you think Floyd is a pot shoter, or if you think Pac is faster. This is not Floyd fighting a super huge guy. I guarantee you that if he fought Pac then he would bring the fight to Pac. He would walk him down just like he did Zab. I swear you guys have Floyd's style so wrong just because he's fighting much bigger guys that he's showing alot of respect to. If he fights anyone his size or smaller then he is always much more aggressive. No way he stays away from Pac and pot shots.

        He will walk him down all night and punish him until he stops him either sooner or later. No way that fight goes the distance. Then its the same thing with the speed. You guys think Floyd is slower then Pac just because Floyd doesnt throw many combos now and just pot shots. If he fights someone his own size or smaller then he will look super fast again because he will be throwing alot more punches and combos. He does everything better then Pac and at 140 it would be even worse. Pac should want the fight to be at WW because at 140 Floyd would murder him Gatti style

          It's okay for you to back Floyd. He's an excellent fighter but seeing what the Pacman did tonight to a bigger fighter should give you an indication that Floyd is not invincible. He will get beat sooner or later and it could be the Pacman who will beat him. JAT

              Floyd is done.

              Manny Pac needs to fight Hatton at 140. Make it happen..

              Manny pac will get all the attention and possibly lure Floyd out of retirement.

              Manny is the BEST fighter out there right now. Im happy to have witnessed what I have seen last night.

                I'm not sure if the win tonight is enough to draw Floyd out of retirement. A win against Hatton, matching Floyd's two most recent legacy-defining fights, might just be enough to tempt him in order to establish his dominance - not doing so would risk his legacy becoming overshadowed in this era.

                  I would favor Floyd. Manny put on a great performance tonight, but I can't see him being too much of a problem for ''Money". My father recently spoke with Frank Mcneil of The Newark Star Ledger & he said Oscar was affected by going down from 154 to 147 at his age.I never want to take away from a athlete's performance because no ''what if'' is certain, but it is a great point. Oscar definitly looked flat footed & looked as if he somewhat shot fighter, on the other hand it could've been Paq-Man that threw him off, but he didn't look as comfortable at 147 as he did last year at 154. I hope Ellerbe & Al Haymon makes the fight as it would be enough money for Floyd to consider it. Also it would add greatly to his already great legacy by beating the p4p king.
