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

[whirlwind]

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.

Floyd vs Pacman is worthless already? LMAO! Think about Pac beat the hell out of Oscar, Hatton, Cotto and Mosley and compare Floyd lame wins against them not to mention how he weight cheated Marquez to ensure his victory.

The phenomenon known as Manny Pacquiao will be no longer relevant

It'll finally kill a potential Mayweather-manny fight which is just what boxing needs.

Since manny intends not to ever fight Floyd, manny losing is the closure we need to end this entire ordeal

I'm actually gonna say that in order for this fight to be brought back to 2011 standards Manny would need to KO Bradley or JMM..in order for it to be brought to 2009-10 standards Manny needs to defeat another P4P great...Such as Martinez..so otherwise the hype of this fight can never be gained back.

[bojangles1987]

People say the fight is dead, just because he had another close fight with Marquez (which he did in 2008 too) and because he lost a decision he clearly won against Bradley, a Top 10 P4P fighter????

Get outta here.

Not dead, but it went from maybe the best fight to be made in the last 20 years or something like that to just another good fight.

And Manny vs Martinez has a 0% chance of happening..and with his slow down and decrease in power, doesn't seem like Koing Bradley or JMM is possible either.

[Elotero]

Totally agree, I mean I give credit where its due but Cotto put in work and wasnt outta that fight as he was with Pac and Cheato..

With the damage that todays version of Cotto did on Floyd I expect Pac to do worse.. Floyd IS HITTABLE..

Damage? That was a 10 - 2 fight.

AGree 100% that Pac needs a great performance to make the fight what it once was. Manny's aura as a smaller Tyson was IMO always the selling point of this fight. Could manny's power offset floyd's skill.

When manny was destoying guys floyd already beat, you could sell to the average viewer, who doesn't know much about boxing skills but can see power, that manny could punch floyd's lights out.

But slowly, over time, after floyd killed JMM and Mosley, and manny struggled with JMM and didn't adapt to Mosley's movement, Manny's aura dropped and so did the expectation he could beat floyd.

When floyd fought Miguel and beat him the way he did, the whole "scared" thing was out the window. WHen Manny couldn't KO tim, who was a JWW moving up, it seemed that many fans felt manny really couldn't do much with floyd.

A sensational manny KO over tim or JMM restores manny's aura and makes the fight big again, unless floyd ko'd sergio which I don't think is gonna happen.
