    Surely a fight with Bradley, Alexander and Khan to unify the division would be well within his reach, and a significant contribution to his legacy.

    I really don't see how Bradley or Alexander would do much for his legacy.

    At this point Pac is going to be crucified for doing anything but fighting Mayweather. Personally, I wouldn't want to see Pac dominate those guys at 140 yet. I think those guys still need some more time to develop and market themselves, and Manny would just ruin that. ; P

    That would be nice. All three of those fights would be on regular HBO so we wouldn't be out of pocket to watch the beatings.

    If it's true he only has 1 fight left..
    140lbs won't add to his legacy.

    Why? Not enough $

    Pacquiao only wants one or two more fights. The 147 division makes more sense financially.

    No, he has one big fight and that's Floyd. The rest of the 147 division is a bunch of B/C level fighters.

    Only on hard core forums like this one. The fighters are not very well established now and wont be big draws

    I agree, after Floyd, he should drop down to where he belongs.

    Although names like Bradley, Alexander and Khan aren't big at the moment, in the long term they will be looked back on as good legacy fights. Alexander especially will prove himself as a great fighter.

    Floyd and Pac between them have pretty much cleaned out 147 with only Berto left (and he would be destroyed by both).

    Are you crazy? The blueprint for Bradley is not set yet to exploit, that's way too dangerous for Pac. Somebody need to fill his gloves with bricks and give Bradley a good beating be4 Pac gets in the ring with him :lol:

    Just joking, my bad, my bad...
