Bob made it clear that he doesn't know who to call.

Floyd made it clear that he is not interested in fighting Manny.

Arum's right as usual

Look at Floyd when he was on the ropes against Maidana, Maidana was throwing body shots and some were landing but Floyd would just tie him up and even tho he had one hand free, the ref always broke it up

Now imagine Pacquiao having Floyd on the ropes. 10 punch combinations in less than 2 seconds. The human brain can't deal with all that information at one time. And Pacquiao is quick on his feet and can avoid clinches. Floyd would get stopped right there

I don't even think Floyd can get past Rios so him beating Pacquiao is ridiculous

Floyd made it clear that he is not interested in fighting Manny.

Lying like a b*tch once again. Didn't I tell you not to speak unless spoken to ****boy?

Mannys not a come forward brawler that's going to come straight to Floyd. True Manny has hand speed but he was faster than Marquez all four times that they fought. And he could never beat him convincingly. And that's with Marquez fighting mostly on his back foot. I can see Floyd standing his ground and even backing a Manny up at times. Plus I don't see Manny walking in the ring at 165 either. Mannys great and can still beat a lot of fighters I just don't think stylistically he matches up well at all.

"The truth of the matter is that we received this afternoon an email from retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who has informed us that Top Rank is pursuing a rematch with Marquez and, therefore, is not interested in immediate talks for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight."

C'mon Bob! Almost all the people on earth knows Floyd will beat Pac including you & Roach. There are only 4 people who thinks Pac can beat Floyd. 1) Manny Pacquiao 2) Skip Bayless 3) Floyd Mayweather Sr. 4) Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I don't understand why anyone would compare Maidana and Pacquiao. the only thing they have in common is staying busy other then that there are no comparisons. Pacquiao uses movement and likes to be at the right distance to get the most out of his punches shoots them pretty straight. he is not an inside fighter. if he was then he would have definitely showed it against both Marquez and Bradley who r boxers mostly. whats dangerous about Pacquiao is his power to go along with his output and i for one believes he has a good chin despite the knockout because he has taken some really great shots b4. a lot of people forget that Mayweather poses a lot of problems for Pacquiao hes taller, has a longer reach, adjust really well, fights tall, has good movement, great timing and great defense. also Pacquiaos output has gone down against boxers and counter punchers. apart from Hatton Pacquiao hasnt really one punch KOed anyone. So can he land enough punches on Mayweather to actually take him out i dont think so. Mayweather has a pretty good chin too. he has been wobbled b4 but it happppens like once in a fight and then he makes the adustment. for those that say Pacquiao would hurt him and finish him it hasnt happened yet but what has happened is Pacquiao getting knocked out by a well timed and well placed shot when he was being overaggressive by a guy who didnt seem to have that type of power all of which Mayweather can do and is.

Yeah, You made a good point on analyzing that. However, Floyd thinks & feels differently.
