Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao II talks initiated

[Oregonian]

"So Manny beating an almost 50 year old Floyd would prove that Manny won the first fight?" Where did I say that Manny won the first fight? Reading comprehension isn't your strong suite. Why are you bringing in Rolly to our conversation? This thread is about Pac and Mayweather talks.

You don't need to personify your responses. We can all do that and turn this into a curse-filled frenzy. No need for it.
When you say PAC can beat Floyd, you are suggesting that PAC would have beaten Floyd 10 years ago if it wasn't for whatever excuse we've heard. So let me rephrase my question - If PAC couldn't beat Floyd 10 years ago, how exactly can he beat Floyd today? Floyd is a gym rat and can beat the three current WW champs (except Brian Norman) if he was to train for them.

its time to make things right. whoever wins the rematch wins both

It is funny how 45+ year old boxers, even 55+ year old retirees, YouTubers, and MMA fighters are making the bigger money and buzz fights in this era, while young(er) HWs are simply sitting on the sidelines watching while refusing to enhance their skillsets, being in good shape, and taking their chances to be active in competitive fights. If not for Turki giving us some decent fights, it would have been even worse.

Lets goo! That would be freakin awesome to see them go again.

"When you say PAC can beat Floyd, you are suggesting that PAC would have beaten Floyd 10 years ago..."
Now you're putting words in my mouth. When I say, which is my opinion, that Pac would beat Mayweather today because Mayweather hasn't been active and I think money would lose today doesn't mean Manny would have beaten 10 years ago because of whatever excuse. Mayweather won 10 years ago.

And just because you think money is some gym rat doesn't mean he will be the same fighter as 10 years ago and would beat all these champions today. lol.

You might be right. I will just disagree. No way Barrios or Rolly beat Floyd even at almost 50.
Floyd is older than PAC and never took serious punishment in his fights. We can literally count the numbers of punches landed on Floyd especially after he beat Oscar.

To “make things right”, Should Floyd also fight Oscar, Victor Ortiz, or Cotto as well? Whoever wins the rematch, wins both?

It's Manny. Doesn't need much hype. Rolly has the belt and is the champ. Those in itself are big hypes.

I disagree. Every fight can benefit from hype.

It only goes to show that today's fighters are not big enough draws and fans would rather see two old, noteworthy fighters in a rematch 10 years later. Both of them are pushing 50 years old and are still able to make people go in their pockets to watch them fight.....shame on today's fighters who are okay with $1M paydays and fighting once a year.

Never said every fight could not benefit from hype.
