    If May beats Canelo; Pac looks impressive vs. Rios,..does Pac vs. May finally happen?

    First of all this fight is too late,..assuming it may happen. But let's say Floyd gets a good solid decision over Canelo(I think he will),..and then Pac beats up Rios in November(not so sure). But Pac must look more impressive than Floyd just because of the 2-3 minute nap that Pac took last December.

    But let's assume that Pac does look impressive.

    I think the fight between them picks up some momentum. I'm not saying for a minute that it brings the magic or excitement that it would have 3 years ago. But it will still be good for boxing and would still be interesting. Everything I saw from Pac(except for him getting knocked out) against Marquez 4 would have been competitive skill-wise with Floyd.

    Let me hear what you think.
    I am not a Pac lover. Because I would lean towards Floyd in a fight. Too much boxing ability, to much defense and his right hand may be Pac's Kryptonite. Just think of Marquez' right hand in that last fight. Floyd's Right hand is like a laser guided missile!!!

    It should, honestly this is the most realistic time it can happen in, being that Floyd has agreed to fight twice next year. It would still be a great fight, Neither has declined to the point where it won't be an accurate depiction of them in their primes, unlike the Manny/Oscar fight, which should have never happened.

    Hopefully this fight gets made, for us boxing purists, and for the haters who will have one less thing to cry about when Floyd retires.

      I do still think it will happen before they retire. Yeah the luster and shine has worn off but you can't tell me every single person on this board won't get hyped as hell when the fight gets close.

        the fight wont happen, if it did, it wouldve happened already unless Floyd loses all his money betting football. But Im shocked that Floyd is fighting Canelo with that fight being made, theres a chance that Floyd does fight Pac.

            For me Pac needs to look more impressive against someone other than a 5-6 ranked jr WW, coming off loss, in his first fight at 147. Did I mention Abril?

            Fun fight but not PPV worthy

                I'd rather see Pacquiao in one more fight, against a top opponent, someone like Bradley. If Bradley beats Marquez, and Pacquiao beats Bradley then a Mayweather v Pacquiao match up would be big for September.

                  If it happens and Floyd wins it won't help his legacy it will be another case of Floyd waiting for some one the general public "SAW" as a threat but Floyd waited till he is no longer considered a real threat to him. Sad but we all know it's the truth.

                    No because floyd does not want this fight even now. I still don't think it's coincidence that pac man gets ko'ed, and now floyd becomes extremely active.
