Manny is the ATG top 5. -
Whether Pac beat Floyd back then or didnt, or whether Pac would beat floyd now is irrelevant. Pac s top 3. Floyd s top 25Comment

Pacquiao lost the first fight clearly, but let's be real it was a pretty uneventful fight on both ends and was notable for having an exceptionally low punch count for a welterweight championship fight. I had Manny and Floyd trading rounds until round 9 when Floyd separated himself, at the time I didn't see this as some hugely dominant win. Floyd had a consistent edge but it was a slight one, at no point did I ever think "these guys shouldn't be sharing the ring together" like I did when for example Mayweather fought Canelo or Pacquiao fought Broner.
Basically there wasn't enough that happened in the first fight to make me think Manny couldn't be competitive in the rematch if he made the right adjustments. I also have a feeling the rematch would be a better fight since the second time around there wouldn't be as much insane pressure on both fighters.
To be honest, I am still interested in this rematch, based on Manny's current level of performance at welterweight and contingent on whether Floyd is "retired" instead of retired. It will be a blatant cash grab if they do it but I don't have a problem with that really. That people here still argue about the two fighters underscores their continued relevance to the sport. I also just personally would love to see the fight live, hopefully at prices below the $8000 floor of the first fight.Comment
