    I'm just speaking for myself and yes I would like to see Manny vs Floyd. Truthfully it depends on how he does against Rios.

    If Manny could string together a few "comeback" victories I wouldn't mind seeing it just based on the fact that Manny's handspeed and power is dangerous for Floyd.

    But in terms of it being a relevant superfight? No way. What would have been, to me, possibly the greatest showdown in the history of the sport was put in a coffin with the Bradley loss, and nailed up and buried after Pac got KTFO.

    2010, both guys were at their absolute peak in terms of popularity, reverence and ability.

    2013, Manny has been KTFO by a guy Floyd dominated, and Floyd, even though he hasn't lost yet, has visibly slowed down over the past few years.

    I certainly wouldn't complain

    I think most of us boxing fans are just a little wounded by their inability to strike a deal

    Although tbh, the fight would probably look a bit like Leonard/Duran III.

    I'm thinking the fight can happen at this point should both Floyd and Manny keep winning.
    Pacman would have to beat . . .
    1. Rios
    2. Paulie should he beat Broner or winner of M&M vs Lopez
    3. Winner of JMM vs Bradley

    And Floyd would have to beat
    1. Canelo
    2. Winner of Alexander vs Khan
    3. Winner of Garcia vs Mattysee

    No!

    This is one of those fights that everybody hears about and watches, even non boxing fans, it would have a been Frazier vs Ali or a Leonard vs Hearns.

    However, now it would just be a boxing match.

    Incredibly selfish to the fans, by both fighters, it will go down as one of the most wasted opportunities in boxing history.

    I see Floyd as probably the best of all time, so, literally the most wasted of all time.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Yes, regardless of what has happened to Manny I'd still like to see this happen. Historically I think it needs to happen. They dont both need to be at their best, all thats required is that they've both slipped by around about the same amount. It'd still be a huge event.

    I dont know if it was because one of them had slipped so far that it became an exhibition (for 11 rounds anyway) but I enjoyed every second of Calzaghe V Jones Jnr.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    Yes, lets see how Pac looks against Rios first. If he looks like his old self and overwhelms shit head then sure I'd still like to see him fight Mayweather. If he struggles or loses, then hell no.
