If Canelo "deserved" a shot at Mayweather (he really didn't), surely Manny Pacquiao does also.
I never felt Canelo deserved a shot, but credit to Mayweather cause it is the fight that a lot of fight fans and writers were calling for now and he delivered, but my beef is that Manny was the one holding up the fight to begin with, he's the one that has slipped, he's the one who wants the fight now, so he should have to work up to getting it and show Mayweather a reason to pick it up, Manny NEEDS to beat Rios impressively if he wants to continue his career as a top fighter
