There is probably some truth to earlier reports that Floyd Jr. wants to fight Pacman (as earlier reported by Edwin Rollon of Manila Standard courtesy of Eric Buhain). In an exclusive Boxingtalk.com chat session transcript of Floyd Mayweather's, it mentioned the following - unfortunately I cannot post the whole thing as it might be illegal and it does not cut and paste):

Someone asked Floyd probably about the truthfulness of the said article (the question was not shown but Floyd's answer pertains to fighting Pacquiao in the ring) and Floyd's answer was:

Then someone asked: "Floyd, in your mind, if you are the best boxer, who is the second best"?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: "MANNY PACQUIAO! WINKY'S A GOOD LITTLE FIGHTER TOO.

anyways, at this time i don't think manny should even be considering fighting at 135 cos his best fighting weight is at 126-130. but if it does happen the only way manny can even compete is if floyd has problems going down in weight.
