    Seriously I don't know how people can complain about the JMM fight but then say that they want to see Floyd fight manny. Niether fight really interests me. I want to see Floyd fight the elite welters out there. Mosley, Cotto, Williams (yes I know he is not fighting at welter now but he hsa said a million times that he can still make the weight and wants the fight).

    I really don't see anyone below 147 posing any threat at all to floyd and that includes manny. I'd like to see him clean out his division.

    if they both win their fights, I don't know how anybody could not care about the fight. Pac will be a legit WW champion himself.

    Well Pac is fighting Cotto so it is assumed PBF would fight Pac should he beat Cotto.

    So you would want to see PBF fight Cotto but not a guy who beats Cotto?:huh

    While I wouldn't say I've got NO interest in the fight, I have less interest than 99.99% of the boxing-watching public.

    As of right now I don't care about pac vs floyd. Doesn't mean that things can't happen in the future to change my view on the subject. To answer your question though I can't remember the last time I paid for a PPV, gotta love those hot boxes.

    If Pac beats Cotto, and Floyd beat JMM, then I can't see any good reason why you wouldn't care about this fight.

    #1 and #2 P4P in the ring (provided they win their next fights), I really don't understand how you could not be excited about it. Biggest fight in boxing period, if it doesn't happen it's gonna be ****ing terrible.

    I want to see floyd vs. manny , rooting for manny and believing he has a really good chance of beating floyd. williams ,cotto and mosley also have a chance. just remember that floyd is not a big welterweight (there was a complete thread about it in the last 2 weeks). however , i believe that with his scientific , frustrating and annoying style mayweather will have to be considerred the favorite at least against mosley and cotto , if not williams also (see quintana 1 and then imagine floyd) , if judging by their known styles . i hope they will change their styles if they'd ever face floyd.
    I also hope that Mr. Roach developped an answer to floyd style , because physically , manny is not that inferior to floyd , like some people here think. maybe he is even stronger (we can already compare their performance with Hatton and Hoya , maybe soon we'll have Marquez too as a common past oponent and thus , quite a bit assesment)
    3 common top oponents - it is a collision course.
    both claim p4p and are close in size - also a collision course.

    I don't really give a **** about p4p rankings. The **** gets ridiculous sometimes. I want to see competitive fights and I think that Floyd vs Molsey or Floyd vs Williams would be more copetitive than Floyd vs Pacman.
