    Saul said he thinks Pac is not invincible and the beating Pac gave to Margarito was impressive although Margarito doesn't have any defense. Saul also mentioned that Pac doesn't do well against fighters who move their feet.

    I disagree but what do you guys think? Cotto vs Alvarez would be much more competitive IMO.

    No way Oscar risks putting Saul in there against The Congressman this early in his career that would be suicidal.

    Canelo's career would be over before it really started.

    Every upcoming boxer has to mention Pac's name nowadays.

    It is getting ridiculous.

    Pac will be retired by then. Floyd will be available by that time though.

    In about 10 years time I favour Alvarez to get the decision

    But I think he has the potential to perform better than margarito and clottey

    Pac needs to go back down to 140. No more ****ing fights at 147+.

    Floyd is eyeing the Fighter of the Decade award for the 2010s.

    I considered this match-up the other day there but then I punched myself in the balls for such a stupid thought. Manny Pacquiao would beat the current Saul Alvarez badly, way way too green yet.

    I've not seen anything from Alvarez that even puts him near Pacs league yet.

    i remember when Valero said in a year or 2 he will be ready for Pac

    and when a year or 2 finally went by he committed the ultimate duck.

    Pacquiao has no where else to go, he's achieved everything he can.

    what is the point fighting the winner of Bradley/Alexander or Cotto II or Mosley or Marquez III? Nobody wants those fights.

    Pacquiao is number 1, he's earned the right, if it isn't Mayweather who cares?

    Sure its good to see him fight, he would only be keeping busy, Mayweather his crème de la crème send off, his legacy is cemented, beating Mayweather only enhances it.
