Well you can look at a track record and see Pacquiao was the more willing fighter to take dangerous fights. Obviously a great fight from both fighters is ideal for boxing but I believe a new king would do boxing some good.

Yep, at catch weight.

And really, there's nohing "this will be better for boxing". If people love boxing, then Mayweather is VERY exciting. Go watch mma if you want a brawl.

It depends how they follow up the win. If Manny wins, then retires, then I don't think it's necessarily good for boxing. Same thing if Floyd wins and then decides to fight Matthew Hatton.

If either guy parlays the win into a fight with Mosley, then it's good for boxing. Keep the momentum going with another superfight.

Personally I think a Pacquiao win would be better. A loss on Mayweather's record would only urge him to take more chances and stop guarding his "0." Also it would truly shake up the rankings and boxing's status quo. Having a truly legitimate #1 fighter who has a style as pleasing as Pacquiao would be tremendous.

The point is people don't "really" love boxing like they once did and granted they likely never will again to the same extent they did years ago. However the term "good for boxing" is widely understood as anything that raises the profile of boxing. It has nothing to do with exclusively what hardcore fans enjoy.

without question a pacquiao win. if fraudulent jr. wins he will retire because beating pacquiao will mean to him & his delusional fanbase that he truly is the greatest of all time & that there is nothing left to prove.

win or lose pac will continue fighting. you think brett farve was waffling? wait until you see pac. his foray into the elections will cost him millions which will bring him back from multiple retirements.
