Pac should just move up and fight Yuri Foreman. Period.

    I see this fight as a win-win-win move for Pac.

    1. If he wins, he collects a belt at his 8th division. It is almost as good as beating PBF, in terms of historical feat.
    2. If he loses, it does not tarnish his legacy.
    3. Let Mayweather get older a little more before fighting him. I always see PBF as a miniature Roy Jones. Great athletic abilities but once the reflexes start to decline, he will be ripe for the picking.

    Now what can be said of PBF's option without Pac?

    1. Mosley...PBF's reaction = :yikes
    2. Matthew Hatton...boxing public's reaction = :huh:patsch

    That would be miles better than facing Paulie.

    Make it happen, or face Bradley.

    Now, that is THE FIGHT.

    As for mayweather, let him stay retired if he can have the guts to face Pacquaio.

    Absolutely. Cotto and Hatton already kicked his punk ass.

    or pac can fight winner of mosley-berto

    Manny should not give floyd his biggest paycheck ever

    The best way for manny to get back at floyd is to abandon this fight altogether and let floyd bang his head on the wall for $$$$ that went down the drain

    he is acting like a real diva and everyone is bending over to him. No Manny don't!

    Pac vs. Foreman should be held in the Philippines. Pac wanted to fight one more time in front of his countrymen. Going for his 8th would be such a treat for fans at Araneta Coliseum.

    Yes it is almost as good, especially if PBF loses or wins a disputed decision (Castillo style) in his next fight.

    He won't come close to losing to any fighter outside of Pacquiao. You and I both know that. A win over Yuri Foreman is another meaningless alphabet title that won't mean **** in the years to come to anyone other than Pac fans obsessed with his paper resume. A win over Floyd would cement him as a top tier all time great. There is a huge difference.

    Yep, we also both knew Roy Jones Jr won't come close to losing after he beat Ruiz.

    A win over Yuri Forman at more than likely at another catchweight will no way match up to facing floyd mayweather jr in the ring.

    You are clutching at straws if you even believe that. You are already hoping mayweather wins a disputable decision in his next fight to some how help Pac's legacy.

    If Pac legacy was already set in stone like it is, why does he have to worry what FLoyd does in his next fights, and he struggles in them?

    I am not surprised that you weren't able to grasp the analogy.

    Agree with most of what you say. 154lbs and a genuine WBA title. PBF will slow down probably the same as Jones, no one lasts forever.
