Does Pacquiao Need To Avenge Marquez Loss Before Being Eligible For Floyd Fight?

[killakali]

What yall think, does Pacquiao need to avenge his devestating knocked-out cold loss to Marquez before he can truly be eligible for a Mayweather fight?

People say fighters like Khan needed to avenge their losses but Khan was never knocked out cold like that, he was back on his feet getting ready to fight.

I don't know where I stand on this one, Pacquiao is obviously a legend in his own right so different rules could apply to him. Tough one to call really.

Did Maidana have to avenge his losses to Alexander and Khan to fight Floyd? Did Ortiz have to avenge his loss to Maidana? How about Mosley? Did he have to avenge his losses to Winky?

No not really, I'm not interested in them having a 5th fight.

Marquez is ducking the 5th fight

Does khan need to avenge his Prescott and Garcia losses before being eligible for a Floyd fight?

[hugh grant]

Why would Pac have to avenge a Marquez loss, when Pac just beat Bradley whos better than JMM right now?

Floyd needs to rematch JMM at 143 that's what Floyd needs to do, and stop showing off he could beat JMM after coming in over the weight limit

[junior gong]

Marquez, Cotto, Maidana, Oscar, Ortiz etc. Didnt need to avenge their losses, so no basically.

Mmm not really, even though Pacquiao has been fighting pure garbage such as brendon rio and khris algiero and also got knocked da fck out by JMM his resume is still deserving ofa Mayweather fight, more so than Khan's or Danny's resumes.

Pacquiao/Mayweather happens September 2015 live from the MGM.

What a silly notion.

Pac is by far the most qualified fighter for Floyd to fight, by far more qualified than fighters Floyd has fought recently. That's the bottom line.

[Ray*]

Why? They have fought 4 times and that series is now over. Mayweather is just trolling whenever he says all that stuff about some having "So so and so problems"

[_original_]

No, he doesn't IMO. Pacquiao has accepted that Marquez is his daddy and is 0-4 against him, with a brutal KO loss to end their rivalry. That doesn't take away from Manny Pacquiao's amazing credentials and hall of fame career, he'll still be the best opponent on Floyd's resume.

[Pu·gi·list]

does he fcuk. did maidana have to avenge his losses to khan, alexander and kotelnik? no. did cotto have to avenge his TKO loss to pacman. no. its just floyd mayweather coming up with excuse after excuse because he clearly doesnt have that much confidence in himself beating pacman.

Well said.
