Who should Manny fight next and why?

[Manos de Piedra]

Rantcatrat, I don't see why you would not want to see this fight, after all this time of hype and debate. What happen on the weekend has happened twice before so I don't see how you thought it would be competitive before but after the weekend its not.

Manos - While I always thought Floyd would win, if Manny had dominated Marquez last weekend, he would have shown that he had made significant improvements since their last fight or that he was much more effective at welterweight, which would have convinced me that he had a shot to win in a fight with Floyd. Because he had tough time with Marquez, I'm even more convinced it would be a blow out in favor of Mayweather.

Would you have still wanted to see the Floyd fight if Manny had lost last weekend?

Fair point.

I think that Marquez won the other night but I would sill like to see the fight made because there are people out there who think pac won and think pac can beat mayweather and if the fight isn't made the blame will wrongly fall on Floyd. Basically just to shut a load of people up for all that has been said and is still being said. There will be no end until the fight happens.

Well, if it is to end the domination of Floyd and Manny over boxing and and an end to the crusade of Flomos and Pactards, I'm in.

There are VERY few people who believe Pacquiao can beat Mayweather now. I guarantee Floyd will open up as a HUGE favorite if they fight.

I understand it's a huge event and all that too, which means a lot to be sure. I guess I view it a bit as Sergio versus Chavez Jr. I understand Sergio deserves the money fight and I understand that he was robbed of his belt, but the fight will be completely one-sided.

Before the 3rd Pacquiao-Marquez fight, Manny is already the underdog if he fights Floyd. Now he is a very heavy underdog, just like when he fought Oscar. Hopefully, that will again bring out the best in him.

But I think that Manny is indeed slipping. If he is to have one last fight before he retires, it should be with Mayweather. I want him to aim for the ultimate legacy. If he is to lose, at least he loss to the best. It will be an anti-climactic end to his illustrious career if he loses to some other boxer. Even a dominant win against Marquez would not be as satisfying for JMM will always be considered as old.
