I don't care if Floyd counters Manny to death like i've been saying he would do along, he would have to do it for 3 full minutes of 12 rounds.
If he manages to minimize Manny's attack, how he does so often against offensive fighters, even better, we get to see that skill at work.
Make this happen.
It doesn't get old.
Does Maidana even know how to get to Las Vegas?

Look, people can say its not worth it anymore because Floyd looks like a significant favorite at this point. Bottom line is Pac is still by far the most dangerous guy Floyd can fight. Timmy?? the guy people say can maybe test Floyd some, was easily beaten twice by Manny. so if you're not interested in Manny as the opponent and say its not worth it anymore, then you shouldn't want Floyd vs anyone. that said, I don't care about it, because its played out and never gonna happen.

I was where you are at right now, but then Floyd signed to fight Maidana, and now i'm happy as ever that Manny can still be Manny to a certain extent. Fuck that, now i'm back to hoping the impossible happens. If not, hopefully Cotto puts them hands on Sergio and we can get that rematch popping. _________________ How I feel after failing the Anis test

I want the Manny fight too, but I totally disagree with the "3 full minutes of 12 rounds" thing. Manny threw as many punches as Floyd does Saturday, same as when he fights Marquez. He'd throw even less against Floyd. It's more of a chess match than you think. _________________

I really don't care anymore about this fight. Manny is not the Manny of a couple of years ago. That being said, maybe Floyd will finally make this fight happen. The opportunist in Floyd will strike again.
If Cotto beats Sergio than I want Cotto-Floyd II.

It's way over due. Five years came and went so fast. Both would have received career high pay days, but managed to let the boat sail. Unfucking real smh. If they would have fought in their primes it would have been great for boxing. The fight not happening when it was suppose to in a way hurt boxing. It still needs to happen though. If anyone could end this cold war, it's the fighter who caused it in the first place. Meanwhile fans still clamour for a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight to happen. And it's still the biggest fight out there for Floyd to make. Floyd fighting Maidana next is a fucking joke. And when he beats Maidana, then what.. Amir Khan?  Why he disregards Manny as a future opponent is beyond me, who knows. But Manny still wants to fight him. Make it happen in September. http://www.boxingscene.com/pacquiao-if- ... -on--76684

Manny's contract with Arum is up at the end of the year. Maybe it will happen in 2015...

How is it going to be too late??? Neither guy is declining at a rate that makes 2015 a waste of a matchup.

Everyone does. Even his body frame looks a bit smaller. At least to me it does. Maybe it was Ariza helping him out  Floyd looks better now than he has in a few years. Maybe cause he is willing to throw harder and not move as much but still making guys miss in the process. If we talking about this fight in 2015, which is next year than I expect Manny to look even slower. _________________ Your Lineal Middleweight Champion Of The World!!! MIGUEL COTTO!!!!

They have both declined, but not enough to not make that fight. No way. Floyd looked unbeatable in beating a bigger, fresher, younger, stronger guy in Canelo. Best performance since the Hatton fight. _________________ Your Lineal Middleweight Champion Of The World!!! MIGUEL COTTO!!!!

Until Garcia moves up to show and prove, even a faded Manny is Floyds biggest threat, and we all should want to see it. _________________

I just don't see Manny not going all out against Floyd, so either way it's going to be fine. Manny accepting a chess match against Floyd would be foolish, and if he's forced into one, then seeing that unfold would be worthwhile for me, because Manny isn't an easy guy to neutralize, at all. I think Manny's approach would make it a very exciting fight, because it will open him up to a ton of counters which he will be willing to eat or just allow his output to slowly diminish, while Floyd begins to pot shot him and land right hand after right hand. This has become the fight again, no surprise, at the end of the day two special fighters in the same era, who cares how overdue it is, let them go at it now, it's good for boxing. I'll pay the 80.00 it's gonna cost. _________________ How I feel after failing the Anis test

It would have been the same whenever. Floyd would have always kicked Manny's ass. I see a Canelo rematch more likely than a Cotto one.

If Sergio were somehow able to fight on SHO, I could see Floyd challenging him for the MW title and then making Manny come to 154. _________________

Will Floyd-Pac go down as the biggest fight that never happened?

It's amazing considering how much money that would generate, even today, let alone a few years ago.

I point, laugh and call bs on people who pretend that they don't want to see Floyd-Pac anymore. It's a front. If the fight were ever signed, they'd be giddy like the rest of us. It's still the biggest fight to be made in prize fighting worldwide. There is no prize fighting sport anywhere that has two fighters who are that good at their craft. Now that Anderson Silva is done, there is no near equivalent to be made.

You right J. I think a lot of people have just settled to the fact that it aint gonna happen, for one reason or another.
