    Now Floyd Mayweather has to see Pacquiao

    After the dominating fight by Pacquiao over Cotto its the fight Floyd has to take. Pacquiao proved he can bang at 147 with a real welterweight in his prime. He took the shots and still turned in a dominating performance. Now the 'he is too little' thought process is gone from Pacquiao, he is now the P4P king. The only way Floyd gets that title back is to see Pacquiao. Unless Pacquiao loses to another fighter soon, he is the P4P king.

    Had Pacquiao barely gotten by, then maybe I change my mind but the way he won......Floyd its on you now.

    You're right. Floyd may be concerned, but I think he's seeing some serious dollar signs right now.

      PBF is the best P4P in the world, IMO.
      I don't understand how anyone would be "shocked" if Pac beat PB. Or understand how PB has that much more speed than Pac. It's close IMO.

      Seriously. The skillset of both fighters are legendary.. nobody should be shocked either way.

      This fight will happen by next Summer

          Shocked is overstating it, but I do feel pretty confident that PBF would win.

            I give PB the edge as well.

            Manny hasn't been touched at all in a long while. He'd be in for a rude awakening with PB.

            However Manny's speed, elusiveness, and improved defense could put pressure on PB all night and I wouldn't be surprised if Pac could get just enough shots in to rattle PB and open up those defenses.

              I think their both so talented and evenly matched that looking at the in ring stuff could sway either way.

              I'd lean towards Pac because Roach is a genius and comes up with flawless gameplans that Pac follows to a T. Their chemistry and ability to work together is unparalled IMO and that might give Pacman the advantage.

                Both are amazing fighters. I wouldn't put money down either way, but I think Floyd takes it. I haven't wanted to see a boxing match like this in a long time. I really hope something gets worked out sooner rather than later.

                  Many was "touched" SEVERAL times last night, early in the fight before Cotto was beat down - Manny took each and every one.

                  If I were to give Floyd the edge, it would be because he's hard to hit and knows how to pick his spots. I think he could outbox Manny and keep Manny from landing enough punches to win on the cards.

                  I don't, after last night, think the Floyd could really hurt Manny. Not anymore.

                      Cotto did some things right last night, he just did not do them consistently and frequently. The body shots were working but they were few and far in between. I remember when Cotto used to be knwon for his body work, hooks to the kidneys.

                        Floyd doesn't use or need a gameplan. Roger Mayweather just tells him "go whoop that MF's @ss" then Floyd proceeds to whoop said MF's @ss.

                          This is one of those fights where either fighter could win and I would be happy.

                          It'd be an amazing, hesitant to say but...legendary...fight, hopefully.

                            I know this, if this happens....I am there for sure. My dad just texted me, save your money we're seeing this fight live.

                            I really hope that PB makes it a fight rather than ducking and trying to score points the whole time. It'll be boring and thats why I can't consider floyd one of the greats for always trying to make it about the points than really taking his oppenent out.

                              I meant Touched= Threatened.

                              My fault wrong word choice definitely. He was definitely tested by Miguel.

                              Manny proved last night he could take a true WW punch to the body and to the head.

                              However let's be real.. he was never truly threatened, which is what I should have said originally. Manny hasn't been truly threatened in a while.
