    Floyd has no chance of making the type of money he did Sat without him and even with him it's not as high. Golovkin weighs in over 170 for his fights I don't see it happening, but if it did that's a huge money fight.

    That was pretty much it. Canelo was suppose to be the test, but he looked like he could get KO'd. There is no exciting fighter for Floyd to make money fighting. GGG or Pac or retire otherwise it's let's watch it for free after the fact or just read about it.

    I'd still like to see it. How long is Pacquiao's contract with Arum? Is there an out at any point?

    pacquiao looked as good as he ever has outside of the kd and ko vs marquez and he looked impressive against bradley. he would still be floyds toughest fight at 147.

    I asked Kim, he says Pacquiao re-signed with Arum last year. This bout won't happen.

    Doesn't matter if Pac destroys Rios within 4, he'd still get raped by Floyd in a one sided fight. I'd still order it though.

    Pac SHOULD destroy Rios. There's NO world class fighter more tailor made for Pac than Rios is.

    It is beyond me, how people could say Pac Mayweather would be a one sided raping. Style wise Pac has the best chance out of all people not weighing 160lbs or more. Hell Canelo was taylor-made and that wasn't a raping apart from the round with the uppercut. When has Mayweather raped anyone lately - he isn't even able to throw a punch like the one Marquez KOed pac with.

    REED Isn't "Calling" For it, but he Wouldn't Mind Seeing It...Pac's Window for BEATING Floyd has Passed, but it's Still a Somewhat Intriguing Matchup...if, If, IF Pac Beats the Brakes Off of Rios 1st, that Is...

    Why should the window have passed. Floyd doesn't do enough punching for this to be a sure thing and I'm pretty sure he can't do what Marquez could. Of course Floyd should be favored, but I think Pac would do surprisingly good.

    Pac's ALWAYS Been a Sucker for a Right Hand...Even PRIOR to the Marquez KO...Look @ Pac vs. Clottey...Even w/his PUTRID Workrate, Clottey Virtually COULDN'T Miss Pac w/a Right Hand...Floyd has a GREAT Pull Counter/ LEAD Right Hand...

    The VERY BEST Manny Pacquiao (Hatton/Cotto Pac) had a Chance, A CHANCE of Beating Floyd Mayweather...Pac ISN'T that Guy Anymore...& if he Pressed the Issue w/Floyd, he Could Conceivably Get KO'ed Late...

    You're probably right, also his punch resistance could be diminished big time after his last fight. If he looks spectacular vs. Rios we can put some oil in the fire of this discussion. :lol:

    This fight will never happen. At Mannys highest point to negotiate Floyd was trying to punk Manny. Now that Mannys been ko'd and with Floyd coming off this huge win and huge ppv number his dick is gonna be rock hard to try and punk Manny. 70-30 split or nothing and we all know Manny aint goin for that hence this fight never happens. I'll Holla 5000

    Why shouldn't Manny go for it? His leverage was gone the minute JMM tucked him in and read him a bedtime story. Not only has his leverage dropped but so have the people who thought he might win, and the overall interest in this fight. But yeah, Manny hoping right back up to sign with Arum, it almost sounds like he was the one who didn't want the fight from the start.

    I am thinking this fight will happen. Probably not in May he will fight a Mexican, but in Sept or Nov next year as long as Pac beat Rios which he should. What you could see is Ali vs Foreman where a different harder Ali beat up Foreman and made his comeback. I always picked Mayweather to win this fight, but there is something about the past repeating itself here.

    Pac could very well outwork Floyd. If Pac just went all out he could outwork him, but then again he could be gun shy after getting put in a coma last year.

    Nope. As has been mentioned, Pac's window has passed.

    It most certainly has, he had a genuine shot between '07-'09, he isn't the same guy. I'd like to see the Khan fight, I don't think Amir can win but he does pose a set of problems (speed and range) which nobody else can at present.

    Pac still poses more problems than Khan. He walked onto a huge shot vs Marquez in a fight he was completely dominated. It can happen.
