  1. the hell he does....if the pac fight does not happen, that'll be an asterisk to may's career....its what the boxing fans want, and if it dint materialize, he will be forever be crucified and remembered as a quack.FACT.:deal

    If you wanna be the best, you gotta fight the best.
     
  3. Yes because the casual boxing fans of the world believe Floyd needs to fight Manny, and they believe Floyd is ducking Manny. They don't know the ins and outs of boxing, and how badass of a fighter Floyd is regardless of Manny. That is how he will be remembered unfortunately. As a classless loud mouth jerk that ducked the best out there. If he fights and wins, he'll be remembered differently, as the brash bad boy of boxing that beat allcomers, even the fans favorite, the best out there, Manny Pacquiao.

    well, they're both makin 20mil+ fighting lesser oppenents.
    ....so money wise they both dont need each other.



    Fans will suffer & be deprived tho.
    But Fan's and Legacy dont mean **** to Fl' AVOID MANNY Mayweather, he just scared & love's to brag about his "0" / undefeated record.

    YES, Floyd needs Pac to cement his legacy.

    Naazim Rchardson(Mosley's trainer) said just recently "Them not fighting will hurt Mayweather more than it will Pacquiao.”

    No he doesnt wanna fight him, or else he'd done it already. He's making a shitload of money by not fighting Pacuqiao, so he has no reason to fight him.

    Floyd should take this fight. it will silence all doubters. I don't think he's ever been in a fight where the public was split on who they thought would win. manny is the only fighter where the public is split.

    i don't think so but he shouldn't wait to long which I think it's happening right now I believe this fight should have happened about 1 1/2 years ago

    How the guy is already top 40 all time fighter he makes a lot of money he doesnt need Manny. Will his legacy go up if he fights Manny yes but he doesnt need him.

    I also believe history will be more kind to Floyd on the whole testing issue right now people just want to see the fight. Later down the road big fight testing will be some sort of policy and people will respect the stance. Just as if someone had taken a stance in baseball when everybody was cheating

    Both have very good wins, but you can't say either has had a career defining fight. MAB and Morakes were on their way out when JMM in his thirties barely started getting noticed, but the rematch with Pacman I thought might of been Mannys had he not moved up to WW. Same with Floyd vs Castillo, but hes still calling himself the best when Pacman has as much cred as he does. Paths were meant to be crossed. Public would never forgive either if it didnt happen. They cant ignore Sergio for too long either.

    Not really, but Pac's name on Floyd victim list will leave no stone unturned. Floyd has had a great career, but not fighting Manny will leave questions about his desire to take risks.
