    Floyd is better than Pac. Pac was better than Bradley first time round. I think there will be a rematch if Pac beats Rios. One which imo wll be a very interesting encounter.

    I must ask the same thing i did before. Have you seen a Floyd Mayweather Jr, not Sr. Floyd Mayweather Jr., fight. By youre assessments, it sure doesnt seem that way.

    This...people overlook this, pac constantly hops in and often firing leaving himself wide open.

    personally i think to beat pac not only do you have to be a master counter puncher (which floyd is) , you also have to be willing to RISK taking a few big shots to be successful. Marquez was willing to trade and counterpunch pac which made him so successful. Im not quite sure if floyd is willing trade punches to keep pac off him which makes it such a intriguing fight.i dont think just counterpunching is enough.

    to be honest i can see floyd catching pac and knocking him out or tkoing him. i can see floyd potshotting him to a easy ud decision. i could also see floyd getting knocked out if he gets caught or maybe he plays too defensive and not being busy enough like marquez vs bradley and losing a split decsion.

    This is the reason why this fight has to happen and why this matchup is so damn intriguing. Make this happen so we can end the debate once and for all!!

    This is true but you have to be honest here.

    The only people Pacquiao has had trouble with the last 5 years has been anybody that doesnt come foward, practially the only good fighters hes fought.

    He would have the worst of worst troubles if he fought Mayweather. Im talking like bad, like may pacquiao look like a rookie bad. Theres a reason why Pacquiao waited forever to fight Marquez..because hes a counter puncher. what do u think Mayweather is?? 10 times better counterpuncher, 5 times faster, way more accurate, i mean the fight would be ugly and I rreally cant believe that people think pacquiao really has a shot. Ive always liked Pac but he would have no chance in hell.

    Manny Pacquiao is doing a good job already ending the debate but I want to still see it too. He has to beat Rios though which will be hard.

    Really, there is nobody left for Floyd to fight. Floyd might have to fight Pacquaio because it's the only intriguing fight outside of middleweight. Floyd is just head and shoulders above his competition.

    However, I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd against Angulo, but I don't believe Angulo deserves the fight.

    martinez at 154 and pacquiao at 147 are the only fights floyd should have made since 2010

    Agree that this can be Manny's most opportune moment to get a fight with Floyd. Just has to go thru Rios and not get slid.

    I disagree. I don't believe in the hype at all, I feel this will be a mismatch and Rios is in for the beating of his life.

    I think Rios is going to the body and has the fresher chin. He may even be the better outside fighter. He's definitely the better in fighter. I think it's going to be a war if it's the Manny of his last 3 fights. This should be a mismatch but I don't think this was a good fight to take after getting slept. We'll see.
