    154 is a division where there is little talent so i think he could take a belt there and then fight pbf after,more hype.

    Manny could probably beat Spinks and take his IBF title, but he shouldn's stay there permantly.

    It's an easy choice for Pac. He can try to win a title at 154(Spinks would be the only champ that he should even think of fighting). However, it's a much smaller payday, the fight may be boring, and he may lose. Or, he could fight the much more important fight against Mayweather. It's a much bigger payday for Pac as well. However, he will almost assuredly lose to Mayweather and he might get embarrased. I say take the money and the loss. There's no shame to losing to Mayweather.

    Beating Mayweather is 100x valuable than getting his 8th title against Spinks.

    legacy wise an 8th title in 8 divisions is better....but in most boxing fans perspectives fighting mayweather is more important...

    Mayweather. Win or lose he can still move up afterwards anyway.
