If Pac beat Mayweather...

Yes.. Beating Floyd cements his legacy. He officially has 2 wins over JMM even if they were controversial so to go back down that route would not be a risk worth taking.

 

Depends on when they fight. Would be best to fight this year but their primes are gone regardless. Wouldn't want them to fight when their status at the top is gone too. Plus how will Floyd be at the weight moving back down assuming he does? Fight ain't happening when it matters the most and is the most overrated fantasy fight of all time. Hard not to think about it but no one is really at Floyd's level atm but he still could lose. After Pac's two bad performances in a row, the constant waiting, and the constant bickering on both ends it really is getting annoying. I'm just glad they're having legit fights this year and will enjoy them will they're still here and in elite form.

 

I think he has done enough already to hang them up, but beating Bradley will up his rankings, might want to give 2 great showings then retire so the fans dont have JMM 3 fresh in their minds. Bradley then another great prospect that will be a force in the future (like BHop to RJJ) and retire, dont wait around for Floyd, other wise he will get ****ed over, cause Floyd is looking to do a SRL - Hagler type job on him , wait till he has lost enough to be less of a treat while the slicker defencive style has more longevtiy.

 

If he somehow beat Floyd I wouldve wanted him to fight Khan... if he hadn't lost

Marquez IV would be a nice last hurrah and if that's STILL competitive/controversial then that's just a testament to Marquez' own greatness

 

if manny beats floyd, he automatically becomes one of the top 10 greatest fighters of all time, period.

 

Hes already done enough to retire .. way more then enough. **** what else does he have to prove?

 

he doesn't even need to beat mayweather. pac had already proven us all fans that he is the real deal ever since before he went up to the higher weights. ffs, he fought barrera, marquez and morales in the span of just 16 months. fighting and beating guys like oscar, hatton, cotto, mosley and margarito are just bonus. floyd would be just the ultimate one. remember that just barely more than 3 years ago, just thinking of pac fighting (not even beating) these guys, you would be considered delusional.

 

Beating Mayweather(decisively) would dispell the myth that Pacquiao struggles against counterpunchers but Barrera and Morales were still highly skilled HOF technicians and Pacq beat them. Don't like that he beat a drained Morales but full credit for him for beating Barrera were both wins were legit especially the first being his best win. Bradley is still a good win and he deserves credit if he beats him. In the end he is still a HOF'er and they don't need each other to prove that.

 

Fighting those three in 16 months is quite a feat.

We have been lucky to have such a hungry fighter such as Pacman.

 

:deal without fighting eachother asterisk's will always be next to both there career standings as ATG's

 

went up from 122 to fight barrera at 126. fought the avoided jmm at 126 a few months later, took a tune-up and then moved-up from 126 to fight erik morales.

not one current active fighter has that great and tough set of opponents in just a short span of 16 months.
