    Fight will never happen when Manny is with Arum. And even back in 2010, when Floyd supposedly "ducked" Manny, it wasn't Floyd who walked away to fight Clottey and wouldn't submit to random blood testing without an 18 or 21 day window or whatever it was.

    Manny only warmed up to blood testing the last few months, that can't be erased. He flat out refused to do that and had a legion of fans saying "Let the commission do their job" for like 2-3 years.

      And this excuse that Pac is done now is dumb as hell. Manny may not be the exact same guy he was in 2009-2010, but neither is Mayweather.

      Both have slipped slightly since then, but both are still two of the best fighters in the world. It's a shame Pac doesn't get more of a chance to show it against contenders anymore, because his promoter has no one real legit around his weight anymore, other then Bradley who he already beat in everyone's opinion, and Marquez who I think looked his age against Bradley. Bradley is the only real good fight he could take with Top Rank next, and mayyyyyyyybe Marquez just to avenge that KO loss.

      People seem to forget Manny looked pretty damn good aside from 2 punches against Marquez in 2012. I don't think he looked any different the other night against Rios then he did in 2011-2012.

        After seeing what Pac did to Rios. I as a Floyd fan would recommend Floyd to retire.

          No. Pac fans and others just refuse to acknowledge that Bob Arum is the problem and blind themselves to the facts whereas Floyd fans are sick of Arum's bull**** and are not giving their hopes up for the 45th time.

            Forget about Manny. He has to avenge his loses first and join TMT.
            I want to watch Khan on a stream. Khan vs Floyd would be comic.

            Floyd Sr wants Khan. Let's see it.

              It is a debate that will go on forever now, like Leonard-Hagler.


              there is no debate...Hagler was better

                Watch people claim Floyd is ducking if he fights Danny Garcia next, the best fighter at 140 lbs who beat the big bad mother f**ing Lucas matthysse, and deserves to be Top 10 P4P now.

                I think Mayweather will be fighting Danny Garcia next, and Manny will be fighting Bradley II.

                  I agree. There's no other option out there for Floyd
                  other than Garcia and Khan that would translate to
                  easy fight, easy money.

                  Don't forget to add Mexican superstars for the undercards
                  to make another 2 million in PPV sales.

                  Forget Manny. Arum has to disappear first and Pac has to
                  win two more fights, then join TMT.

                    i don't believe arum is guiltier any more than pacquiao is. it was pacquiao who walked away from random blood testing and it was pacquiao who extended his contract. personally, i think manny is using arum as the fall guy for both their own financial benefit. bob will happily shovel in the excuses to keep the money in house as pacquiao plays the blameless victim.

                      I can't tell if you're joking about Pacquiao joining Mayweather promotions or serious. That's scary.
