    Is Floyd ready for Manny? Or its the other way. I think it would be a very interesting fight. Whether or not the two ever fight, well, that remains to be seen. Of the two Manny is the realist. He never offers an excuse. Even in the ridiculous (* loss ) to Bradley. Floyd and Manny are both elite fighters. They have brought some great fights and some not so great fights to the table. Manny never made an excuse for the knockout delivered by Marquez. He simply accepted it as part of boxing. The way he handled Rios was an exciting boxing clinic delivered by a technician. No one can take that away from Manny, Rios is this, Rios is that, well Rios was a threat from the opening bell. Manny used his superior boxing skills and speed to give Rios a thorough ass whipping. Floyd did the same with Alvarez. So are these two fighters
    (Floyd and Manny ) ready to meet?

    One more significant win. Fight Bradley...Jmm or Devon Alexander.

    Pac sold because of Zou Shiming, not because he's a huge star in China. Spare me. Pac is nothing in China.

    Boxing isn't big in China, at all. It's still at an infant stage there.

    You're way overestimating Pac's star power in Asia. He's only big in the Philippines and parts of Japan.

    The only reason he went over there is to avoid the huge taxes in the States, not because he has huge fans there.

    Even if Floyd went over to Macau, his ppv #'s would likely not decline.

    Pac made 18 million guaranteed and we're still not sure how the PPV did. In my estimation, not very good at all. But we'll see.

    On paper the best fight to take is Bradley, but that would add nothing to his current value, nor to his legacy, since he already beat the man fair and square, only to be cheated in the scorecards.
    Floyd knows this.

    The best fight to take prior to FMJ is clearly JMM, legacy-wise, since he needs to show to the world that he was just caught that one time.
    But we all know that JMM ain't gonna stain his career-defining win by manning up and facing Pac again.

    Pac is ready now, and has been for years. I think Arum said that he was going to try and get fights for Pac, Marquez, Bradley and Void.................Void has been running from Pac since Pac stopped Cotto, something Void could not do. Void, Sr. said that Void, Jr. will never fight Pac. He said that right after Pac stopped Cotto, which shocked Void..................after that the lies about Pac being a drug addict started by you know who.............

    If Manny beats Marquez and Bradley he should get Mayweather for FMJ's 50th fight after Floyd's showtime contract expires.

    Alternately Floyd could step up right now and book it for May and solidify his career in one fell swoop and take 3 patsies for his final three under contract.

    Mayweather fans say Pacquiao doesn't deserve a fight with him but say Khan does. Khan after he got KTFO by Garcia looked bad in his fight against Molina and looked even more horrible against Diaz. Pacquiao deserves the fight and will prove he deserves it when he beats Mayweather.

    He really needs to rematch Bradley and Marquez but I'm not sure if Marquez 5 is ever gonna happen.

    i think he could go now but i think another big win against Bradley or Marquez and the Pac/Floyd train takes off again...i think pretty close to the hype before the loss

    It's definitely not happening in April/May. Too many things to do to be ready in 5 months for a fight of this level. Mayweather and Pacquiao will be fighting different opponents. I think it could happen in late 2014 or early 2015 as probably Pacquiao's last fight.

    If Arum and GBP were in good terms, I'd like to see pac v taliban khan, and pac v broner.

    Forget it. Floyd and Pacquiao will never fight. Floyd will not fight Bradley or Provodnikov, either. Meanwhile, boxing fans will just keep putting down their hard-earned money to watch Floyd fight another no-hoper.
