    What happens if Marquez or Bradley beats Pac come Nov.?

    If Marquez finnaly gets the nod, in which he most likely will...and if Bradley somehow beats Pacquiao clearly..

    Would you still want to see May vs Pac?

    Floyd-Pacman is worthless already. But to answer the original tread topic I fully expect either to beat him soundly if he chooses them. Hell I expect Cotto to whoop him if they can agree to a catchweight at 150 or above.

        we're already done with Pac-Floyd
        nobody cares about that shit anymore
        even if he beats JMM or Tim again, it's not a megafight anymore
        we wanna see it just because they "owe" it to us
        but in terms of any relevance? Pac-Floyd is history

          if marquez beats him in a competitive match where pac show good energy throughout, then yes i would still want to see him against floyd. marquez may just be his kryptonite.

          if he loses to bradley, no. pac reasonably past peak shouldn't lose with bradley in a rematch, especially now that he has something to prove. if pac fights with a sustained effort, he beats bradley fairly easy. if he fights one minute a round, then i see bradley doing better. for him to have a chance against floyd, he has to be a machine or else forget it.

            Well that would be nothing new if either of them beat him.


            And I disagree, Jack. If Pacquiao can clearly beat Marquez or Pacquiao, that would light some flames under Mayweather vs Pacquiao again. It's Pacquiao's inability to look great against Mosley, Marquez, and Bradley that killed the fight altogether. But he can bring it back if he can actually look great against Marquez like Floyd did. Which I know it's a tough task for Pacquiao with his limited skills. Or if he looks great against Bradley.


            Bushbaby, I disagree that Cotto would whoop Pacquiao at 150. That's bullsh-t and you know it, stop saying ****** things. Cotto has a much better chance at winning if Pacquiao let's him come in at 154, which just like the task of asking Pacquiao to clearly beat Marquez, it's impossible for Pacquiao to let Cotto do that. Pacquiao wouldn't even be as noble as Floyd, to come in at well under 154 himself, while letting his underdog opponent come in at the JMW limit.

              dude, nothing is bringing back Pac-Floyd
              too much time went by, the moment has passed
              it's no longer a must see fight no matter what either guy does
              Pac already decisively beat Bradley, kush puffing judges be damned
              that doesn't change anything
              the time for Pac-Floyd came and went, and Pac's about finished now

                I didn't think Pacquiao beat Bradley, I had it a Draw but that's another topic. Pacquiao didn't look great against an underdog and a fighter he was supposed to beat and his team and a lot of fans were predicting a KO.

                To me, Floyd-Pac died after the Marquez-Pac trilogy. But even when Pac chose to fight Mosley instead of Berto or Marquez, the fight lost a lot of luster. The subpar performance against Bradley really killed it for a lot of people. But if Pacquiao can win his next fight impressively with no catchweight controversy, no fighting any one coming off a loss, no unfair advantage, and actually win. People would talk about May-Pac again. You might not think so, but casual fans think way differently. Casual fans are the majority of fans who buy Pac and Floyd PPV's to begin with.

                  WTF? are you serious?
                  well like you said, that's another topic
                  don't see why even casual fans would be into this fight now
                  sure it will still make money, but it's a gift fight at this point
                  if it happens, well that's nice, but if not, who fucking cares?
                  both guys are past it, and neither is "the man" anymore
                  Pac's already beaten JMM, Tim, and Cotto
                  beating any of them at any weight won't resurrect Pac-Floyd

                    Who gives a **** about Pac-Floyd anymore?

                    That fight has lost all of its luster.

                    Should have happened back in 09-10.
