Lol even if Manny gets passed Barrios,who the hell would want to watch an unnecessary rematch like that?

Im good thanks.

Boxing is a sport which overtly allows the business side to abuse its fans with meaningless curiosity fights.

Don't see why not. Froid most likely needs the money and he'll probably be on roids again if it hasn't already damaged his body

[TheIronMike]

More 3rd world citizens (MEXICO/FILIPINES) obsessing over Floyd's money, even an entire decade after the fight.

I could see a Floyd coming back for crazy Saudi money, honestly.

I think Floyd Mayweather Junior is most likely still in better condition than Manny Pacquiao 'But? At the time when they originally fought, Mayweather was actually more outside of his peak than Pacquiao yet he still won'.

I have always thought that Manny Pacquiao really should have beaten Floyd Mayweather Junior in 2015 'As Mayweather was clearly, more outside of his peak than Pacquiao. This was clearly displayed in his two fights vs Marcos Maidana I & II. Floyd Mayweather Junior may have won both of those fights, but in my opinion? Marcos Maidana should have been stylistically a much more easier fight for a version of Floyd Mayweather Junior closer to his peak'.

Note: There are pivotal moments in life, and in a fighter's career 'Which the great fighters have awareness to detect, then grasp the opportunity and win. Both Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquaio had many times in their careers, shown a very high level clutch game and won mega fights'.

And when Mayweather and Pacquiao fought back in 2015 'It was Floyd Mayweather who won that mega fight'.

To conclude: A rematch between Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao does not really have much significance 'In the wider boxing world. But I would imagine that it does have significance between the two fighters, and especially for Pacquiao. If Manny Pacquaio is able to beat Mario Barrios, but the action of the fight is not really of a high level? Maybe in that eventuality, Floyd Mayweather Junior may be game to rematch Manny Pacquiao II' etc.

The problem with this reasoning that it, as far as prime fighters go, solely based on the Hatton fight who struggled the fight before at the new weight of 147 with Collazo. The narrative that you are projecting in this post would have substance if it was based on fights with prime Pac, Shane, Marg, Mayorga( would have been stylistically similar to Maidana) , Cotto, which none off them happened.

If Floyd is having money issues like reported then 3 fights will lure him back Pacman 2, Jake Paul or a boxing match vs ko phenom Illia from the ufc

To suggest floyd was more past prime than.Pac was when they fought each other, you really have to suspend belief to really believe it, it defies all logic and understanding.
Coming to conclusion floyd was past prime, is actually coming to realisation it's at that point you realised floyd was exposed and found out and not what you thought he was, and that was evident in.people worried about Floyd's chances with pac in the first fight, let alone potential rematch

[PRINCEKOOL]

I doubt floyd was past peak more than pac. Had much less fights, started boxing later, had less wars, tried not getting hit much, at expense of offence.
Floyd's just not as great as pac, and that was evident in common opponents opinions

Floyd Mayweather Junior was more past his peak in 2015 than Manny Pacquiao 'Marcos Maidana was a basic straight forward, rough and aggressive fighter. There is nothing that sophisticated about Maidana's style, which in my opinion Mayweather should have struggled with. Maidana was chosen as an opponent for Mayweather, so he could produce a similar performance like he did against Auturo Gatti. But that never happened, because Floyd Mayweather Junior was miles outside of his peak'.

Note: And for the people who are trying to make a comparison between Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao on common opponents 'They need to understand, that Manny Pacquiao never fought Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, or even Shane Mosley at their best. Floyd Mayweather fought better versions, of all of those fighters. Ether because they were closer to their peak when he fought them, or? They were not having to navigated some completely unnecessary catch weight and rehydration clause'.

All of those wins are still awesome wins for Manny Pacquiao, but they are devalued slightly due to catch weights and rehydration clauses 'It was an unnecessary stipulation that was put in place because? For whatever reason Manny Pacquiao has never been as certain in his ability as Floyd Mayweather Junior'.

Floyd Mayweather Junior beat Manny Pacquiao while not even getting out of 2nd gear 'It was Mayweather's fundamental boxing skills, which won him the fight. If he was a less gifted fighter technically, I think that version of Manny Pacquiao would have at some point in the fight inflicted serious damage with his power. But instead Manny Pacquiao really did not have many answers for the fundamental boxing game of Floyd Mayweather Junior. I think a better version of Floyd Mayweather Junior would have been able to push forward and force a stoppage vs Manny Pacquiao in 2015. But at that stage in Mayweather's career, his usual high level of brute strength was not evident in his fights vs Maidana I & II or Pacquiao'.

To conclude: Manny Pacquiao may have been a more powerful puncher than Floyd Mayweather Junior 'But in terms of overall brute strength, Mayweather was a by far stronger fighter than Pacquiao. Infact? Mayweather at his peak or outside, pound for pound had a extremely high level of brute strength. Fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Ricky Hatton, and many more. None of those fighters could push him about, even when they were fighting at their most comfortable and optimal weight classes'.

Manny Pacquiao could be pushed about, and was routinely throughout his career badly smashed up by his opponents 'Because if he was lacking in one area, compared to all his other great attributes. It was in the area of brute strength. This may have been the reason why his team stipulated all of those catch weights and rehydration clauses'.

Overall I think there is definitive evidence in the performances of Floyd Mayweather Junior 'That in 2015 he was more outside of his peak than Manny Pacquiao. But he still won their battle, because great fighters can sometimes find a way to win' etc.
