Do we still wanna see a Mayweather vs. Pacqioau fight?

[p4pking]

No. It's simply no longer relevant. Should Canelo beat Floyd then maybe a new chapter may be written however I kind of think Rios beats Manny only because Manny could be out of candle. Its amazing to me how long he has been able to carry on with his kind of style. Not sure he has that fire anymore. I'm still puzzled as to why he never rematched Bradley.

Here is an interesting tidbit.

Promoter: Manny Pacquiao may never again fight in U.S. - latimes.com

Dam 40%. Yet he can go to a Communist county and hardly pay any. Factor in Arums pimp charges and Roaches million dollar per fight salary, the rest of his corner and the 100 or so clingons and I'm surprised he's got cab fare.

Nice find, that's kind of lame if true. I think for Rios to win that fight, Manny would have to be so utterly finished that he's not worth watching anymore. If Pacman can still bring so much as 75% of his offense to the ring, I don't see how Rios is seeing the final bell.

If Manny really beats the crap out of Rios and Floyd is in a hard, exciting fight with Canelo, I could see a lot of luster being restored to the bout. Both uys are at the tail ends of their career and don't have many other huge paydays available, you'd think it would be a lot easier to make now.

I think Rios is in all kinds of trouble and I can't say I am losing any sleep over it. Manny did not look shot before being sparked by Marquez. It was a peach of a shot and he met it coming forward. In the Bradley fight he was hardly beaten to a pulp in in my and many others eyes could and should have had his hand raised. He should have put his foot down and finished the job beyond any reasonable doubt but his head did not seem to be at the office.

Rios Is no JMM. He is like a heavybag on legs, and Manny hits harder, more accurately and more often than Alvarado. If he can't finish Rios before the 12th round, or at least by a huge points margin he really is finished, but I can see him demolishing Rios early. If he hits him with even one of the quality shots he tagged Juan with then Rios wont even be able to do his Freddy Roach impression before licking the canvas .

It isn't worth talking about this anymore. Discussing the possibility is just depressing, because we all know that Bob Arum will never let it happen. Everyone involved was sat on a goldmine, but they all allowed ego to get in the way.

[KickMuck]

I think we would all still like to see this fight but its like a balloon full of helium floating away out of grabbing range with the kids crying for us to get it back.

Indeed. It could very well look like the Margarito fight.

If Pacquiao still had that kind of form it would look more like the Hatton fight. Regardless, Rios is nowhere near as good as Margarito was, and he's well smaller to boot.
