I dont think it matters much anymore whether the fight happes or not. Mayweather's legacy has allready taken a major hit for letting KTFO6 happen before he got his hands on Pacquiao.

:deal Exactly. No matter what Floyd does now against Pacman Jmm already took some of that glory away from Mayweather.

This is like that kid in school who has "Bullying" problems & the kid comes home every-night taking an easier route scared for his health and asks his dad to see if the bully(Manny) is wailing outside for him.

I think Jr might turn to self harming or even...suicide to escape what's waiting outside.

Floyd doesn't have any shame. All he cares about is the money and the safest route to it

this thread is for Floyd fans only and i want u guys to explain why u think sensei mayweather is TBE. i'll start by saying his boxing abilities are completely unmatched by anyone on film, he's arguably the most elusive fighter ever, the most accurate fighter ever, greatest prize fighter ever, most technically sound fighter ever, and he has almost no flaws whatsoever. his competition is questionable but like i said before(lol) styles play a bigger factor than names on a resume.

MVC where u at?

For some people it's a wink, for others it's a smile. For some people its a wink and a smile. Floyd Mayweather has that wink and a smile.

Because Floyd says so.

No really, he's a Top 50 ATG. 44-1-1 in my view. No prime or near prime ATG's on his resume.

The best on film: You choose....Roy Jones, SRR, SRL.

Definitely a more wider points decision win by Floyd than a fight today.

Manny Pacquiao will move down to junior welterweight, says Roach

GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines – After ascending the scales in record fashion, Manny Pacquiao will most likely take a step down in weight next year.

The 35-year-old WBO welterweight titleholder will face Chris Algieri on Nov. 22 at The Venetian in Macau at a catchweight of 144 pounds to test out how he feels at a lighter weight, with his next fight to be at junior welterweight, says head trainer Freddie Roach.

“That’s the only reason we’re going to ‘44, that’s our choice, not theirs,” Roach said Monday at the Pacman Wild Card Gym.

Roach says that a move to junior welterweight would open up new fight possibilities, mentioning first a clash with RING champion Danny Garcia.

“There’s a lot of competition in the 140-pound division, a lot of them are going to 147 because they want to fight Manny for the bigger money but as soon as Manny goes to 140 all of those will come back down,” said Roach.

The eight-division titleholder last fought at junior welterweight in 2009, whenhe knocked out lineal champion Ricky Hatton in two rounds. He hasn’t scored a knockout since scoring a 12th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto that year.

“He’s never been a big puncher at 147,” said Roach. “I don’t think he’s lost his punch or his killer instinct; he’s just been fighting bigger, stronger guys. I think the knockouts will still start coming again at 140.”

Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 knockouts) is still in the early stages of camp for his bout with Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs), which will be his first defense of the welterweight title he won back from Timothy Bradley in their rematch earlier this year.

Pacquiao worked four rounds in sparring on Saturday with California-based lightweight Stan Martyniouk and will work with Martyniouk plus welterweight Mike Jones on Tuesday. Viktor Postol, THE RING’s No. 9-rated junior welterweight, is also expected to join but is being delayed due to visa issues, says Roach. Unbeaten junior welterweight prospect Jose Ramirez is on standby to join camp should the need arise.

Former WBC lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco and former IBF super middleweight beltholder Lucian Bute are also in camp training with Roach.

Conditioning coach ****** Fortune, who has been in the Philippines for two weeks working with Pacquiao, says that his conditioning is strong already.

“He’s right on schedule. If anything, I have to pull him back a little bit,” said Fortune. “Manny’s always very fit anyways, so it gives us a good base to work off of. So we have to be careful to make sure he doesn’t do too much.”

Roach says he has given Pacquiao permission to play limited minutes in the season opening game of the Philippine Basketball Association on Saturday, where he plays with the Kia Sorentos as a point guard and coach. Pacquiao will have to sit out the remaining games, however, with all basketball activities to cease four weeks out from the fight.

“He likes to do it and it helps his conditioning but doesn’t replace his roadwork,” said Roach. “He told me he’s going to go into the game, make an appearance and coach most of the game. As long as that’s the way it is, I told him he can do that, I have no problem.”

Why didn't he move down and fight the junior welterweight he's fighting next?

So going down a weight class to aim for a KO win means you are ducking a whole division?
Im pretty sure if someone is able to fight in a lower division, they should take advantage of it?

Regardless of who the boxer is.
