Floyd needs to fight Manny Pacquiao now... quit duckin' the dude.

I don't get all this anti-Manny backlash. "The ship has sailed".... "he didn't want it back when it would've meant something".... "he's damaged goods".


SO?

Who the hell is out there that will give Floyd a competitive fight? Are we to throw another hype job at him? C'mon.... really? I say if Manny beats Rios convincingly, there's not a hell of a lot of other options out there.

But how competitive would the fight be judging from Pacquio's recent fights that he's not at his peak?

I'm not saying Pacquaio would necessarily win. I'm just saying it would probably definitely be more competitive than the whitewash we saw Saturday night. And Pacquiao has the career credentials to be in there with Floyd. Who else is there? People are grasping at straws with Martinez, but the truth of the matter is there's not much out there. At this point, Pac is as good as, or better, than any other opponent.

Yeah your definately right in saying his credentials are up there and any hope of Floyd fighting a middle weight shows the state of the fighters in his own division. But I think we should wait to see what sort of Pacquio is going to show up in November to see how competitive he could be against Floyd.

For the sake of drumming up some real, deserved excitement for a Floyd fight..... I'm hoping Manny beats Rios convincingly and they finally make the fight. I don't care if it's a couple of years late. I think it should still be made.
