Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Would Be Open To The Idea of Facing Josh Taylor

147852369 OTE=Bronx2245;n31051856]Manny wants a big fight in the UK! If JT was willing to fight Crawford @ 147, then Manny is even better! The question is Arum! Would he let JT fight Manny on FOX, or would he insist Manny fight JT on ESPN? I'm pretty sure Crawford would not be happy to watch JT skip him, and get the fight with Manny, that he really wants!

147 will be a meaningless fight for Manny. He would only get ostracized if he fights JT @ 147. Better fight him at 140 and gun for that lineal/undisputed title.

If Manny wants a big fight in the UK then Josh is the perfect opponent. Arum would be the problem but with Espn getting the Sky deal it could be much more of a possibility now. If JT does get it before Crawford he'd just have to suck it up as he could look to the Taylor fight himself to thin the competition for the golden ticket. That said I don't feel Manny wants Josh just yet. It's Spence or Crawford he really wants in my opinion. But it's watch this space and it makes for some exciting prospects.

easy work for manny..

Manny's Scottish accent is pretty funny. Likeable guy. A fight against Taylor would be good, though this is, I suspect, just pie in the sky. Every journalist is going to keep tossing names at him and he is going to keep saying I'll fight anyone at 147.

JOURNALIST 1
Would you fight Iron Mike Tyson, Manny?

MANNY
I have no problem to fight anybody, as long as it is 147 pounds.

JOURNALIST 2
Would you fight Thanos, Manny?

MANNY
As long as I am in boxing, I can fight anybody.

JOURNALIST 3
Really?

MANNY
As long as it is 147 pounds and he uses Cleto Reyes not Infinty Gauntlet.

Id pay for that

Good fight, like someone else mentioned though, it depends on how much Manny has left in the tank, if he looks like his old self, becoming undisputed at 140 would further cement his legacy.

PAC’s got unfinished business at 140 IMO.
