If Floyd refuses to drop his blood testing demand, who will he and Pac face next?

    If the Superfight doesn't happen...

    ...who will either man face next?

    I can see Floyd offering Paul Williams a fight if Paul agrees to come down to 147 again.

    I think Manny was only staying at 147 to make the fight with Floyd so if that doesn't happen, I can see him dropping back down to the richer 140 division (where Pac will be more comfortable and therefore even better than he is at ww) and defending his The Ring 140 belt against Timothy Bradley.


    Obviously neither fight will be anywhere near as good as Pacquiao vs Mayweather, but I can't see Floyd dropping his demands and I can't see Pacquiao caving in to them, so I think we all have to acknowledge the possibility that it might not happen at all.

    Mayweather vs Williams and Pacquiao vs Bradley would be the next best things IMO.

    Pacquiao will be giving blood, and will be fighting Mayweather next. That's my prediction. If not, then he'll fight Margarito or Cotto next. I have no idea who Mayweather would fight.

    I dont give a ****, if this fight doesnt get made, both men should be utterly ashamed & embarassed with themselves.

    Ps. FMJ cant completely drop the blood testing now & Pac aint gonna concede to being tested all the way up until the fight, I think the 14 day thing is the fairest scenario, its in between what both men originally asked for (I personally dont see why a blood test should be a problem for a clean athlete & 50 million $ but thats just my own view).... & yes, Williams is the best test for Floyd, legacy wise outside of Manny & excitement wise I`ll give you Bradley-Pac too :good

    Or if Manny refuses to comply with the same blood testing demands that both SSM and Floyd subjected themselves to. See I can play that stupid semantic game to:yep

    Anyways, I can see Floyd going up 2 weight classes and challenging Martinez for the Middleweight championship. Its a very winnable fight that would give Floyd the chance to leapfrog Manny in the legacy department. Either that or a fight with Williams at 147. These two fights would be an emphatic **** you to all of the Floyd critics.

    Manny would probably drop down to 140 and clean out that division..Honestly, his legacy is complete with or without Floyd

    Pac could target Cory Spinks or Yuri Foreman at somewhere between 147lbs and 154lbs. Big money for the champs and another weight for Pac. Also keeps the pressure on Mayweather if he fights Martinez.

    lets say Malignaggi beats Khan.
    is it insane to suggest he would meet mayweather?

    Malignaggi? Only in a ****ing stuttering contest.
    Edit: Sorry, you said "meet", not "beat". In that case, no ****ing way. I don't see how Malignaggi will ever earn a fight with Mayweather.

    No way will Mayweather fight Paul Williams. I can see him fighting Berto next for the WBC Strap.

    Edit: Damnit, I was stuck thinking this was about Malignaggi again. Mayweather-Berto would be great, but Berto is too small of a name for Mayweather to even consider.

    Damn str8. Been waiting for that one. But it seems like Pacquiao vs Juan "Baby Bull****/Bullocks" Diaz would be more likely.
