It could be close - Arum in talks with Showtime for Floyd /Pacquiao Mega Fight

[imp]

Manny is more for the fans at this point as he has nothing to loose and after he gets 6 losses he can just say he wasnt in his prime etc or ariza shouldnt have left him..lol

Should this phantom fight ever play out, I think its safe to say that neither are in their prime and also that such would be the first thing out of their teams mouth for the loser.

They are both on the slide and one has an 0. Now I would think that if they (Floyds team) were considering it they would want this for the 50th or maybe the Marciano equaling 49th.

Different era. Different opponents.

BUT it would be nice to be 50-0 and floyd must think about this figure bigtime.

48 - khan or alexander

49 - danny garcia

50 - ?

He won't fight Khan or Garcia he'll probably fight Cotto because he likes to regurgitate, rinse and repeat, cover every angle, remove risk, be dull and predictable, fight at home, struggle against muppets and then take instagram pics of himself in bed with his money. How can you take someone like that seriously ?

Who has he regurgitated??!!

He has had two rematches in his entire career!

Smothering himself in money on instagram is what makes people despise him even more and sell even more tickets.

This is a business after all..

Era and opponents are not really relevant. The record is and breaking it. It is a boxing Holy Grail.

As far as opponents go he's in a bit of a dilemma I'm sure he never planned on. I think he's lost interest frankly and he is also in a fix opponents wise. I cant see him going mediocre and its quite evident by the problems he had with Maidana that he has lost something because he fed on that type of opponent for much of his career and made it look easy. Swarmers were never an issue for him post the first Castillo fight.

People can split hairs on whether he took the necessary risks in his career until the cows come home but he now finds himself in a position where he may have to take some and at a time when maybe he should not be. He could make a mistake here.


Devon and him are pretty good friends and besides, he'd be crucified by both fans and media for making that fight.

I hope its Khan personally just because of the way the styles matchup.

I think Garcia would have to do something at 147 before getting a fight like Hatton or Guerrero did. Time is running out even for that to be viable.

Floyds in a bit of a pickle and to top it off imo has lost interest hence my crazy ideas about him starting a brand new camp and firing the lot.

[Fenster]

50-0 will mean fuck all if he doesn't face the greatest fighter of his era. Floyd could now retire, at any number, and he's an all-time great.

Try to look at it from the view of an impartial fan - in years to come people wont care about the politics, they'll just see two great fighters that didn't fight. There's an obvious reason why fighters like Leonard, Hearns, Duran and Hagler became boxing gods.

[THE THIRD MAN]

It's reached the now or never stage, if Pac really wants the fight then call the PBF bluff and agree to all demands. He will still make a shitload of money.

If devon alexander beats khan and gets the fight theres no issue with that imo.

Khan would be the better choice as the majority believe that yet again floyd cant cope with speed and the style of khan could be very hard to handle at this stage of his career.

At this stage of his life where he is slowing down you would expect an easy (ish) defence and for him to bow out...but like you say he will be expected to raise the bar with these last fights even at this slide time of life as thats the only way he will get paid top dollar.

He had his easy defense against Maidana ( even tho the public picked khan and he said he'd fight who the public said ) it was harder then he expected rematched then pretended to get bit by Marcos cause he was dazed.

True and true. For all we know the winner of that fight is a lock but I just cant see Devon/Floyd. Other greats have waited to long and have went out being beaten by people who could not carry their hand wraps. Floyds at a crossroads here. I think he is starting to fade both mentally and physically. I cant imagine how taxing his life has been?

Shit, maybe the guy decides to retire? Then gets his mojo back like Leonard, comes out of retirement and makes the first 150 million dollar fight?
