After watching Manny Pacquiao DESTROY Oscar De La Hoya (something Floyd Mayweather didn't do), one has to wonder how Pacman would measure up against the recently retired (and undefeated) Floyd Mayweather.Pacquiao certainly looked faster than Mayweather, stronger and more aggressive in his demolition of Oscar, but would that translate to a fight with the self-proclaimed Greatest Fighter Ever?I have no idea. Heck, I wasn't sure Pacman would be competitive in the fight with Oscar and he destroyed the Golden Boy. What might he do against Mayweather?Boxing fans, THIS FIGHT HAS TO HAPPEN! Let's do it. Let's demand it. The winner of a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather showdown would go down as the best of a generation. We should demand this fight. If Pacman-Oscar was worth 65 dollars, than Pacman-Mayweather would be worth TWICE that! I'll pay it. Until then, let's make sure Money Mayweather knows we want to see the fight. Talk up on message boards, write Bob Arum, cal...

Have you seen the Pacquiao vs de la hoya match?
Pacquiao's is just incredible. He has improved a looooot.
de la hoya is taller and bigger than Pacquiao, but Pacquiao beat him by TKO and it's not even a close match.
Imagine what could Pacquiao do to a boxer that is smaller than de la hoya...
Earlier this year, people want Pacquiao vs Oscar match. The match happened.
Oscar is a great boxer(greater than those boxers that you mentioned) and is taller and bigger than Pacquao but that didn't scare Pacquiao.
and this guy said Manny is "faster then Mayweather" LOL yeah RIGHT
I am a big fan of Pacman but I think Mayweather would do him the same way he did Hatton, let Manny try to KO him in the first 6-8 round and dominate late in the fight
nobody had defense like Mayweather NOBODY
Manny fights anyone anytime anywhere and is not concerned about $$$$$$$$$$$
Anyone who watched the fight last night should be convinced PACMAN is a true P4P king, and even though he has only fought one fight at Welterweight and skipped the lightwelterweight division his skill set alone would make a fight with guys like Cotto or Mosley very competative. Alot of people think that size is a huge advantage in boxing,but time and time again legends of the ring prove that skills can over come size anyday. This would be a real fight, the 2 best P4P fighters on the planet going head to head on equal terms, it does not get any better than that.
Not taking anything away from Pacquiao, but just because A>B and B>C, doesn't make A>C.
So after watching the replay does anyone think that Ricky Hatton has a chance against Manny Pacquiao?
And as for Pacquiao vs Mayweather Money talks alot of Money...
now versus Mayweather if he accepts the challenge, he'll do the same as usual run and wait for the Manny to get tired of chasing him...but Manny is too smart for that, so it'll be exciting to see...
I'd love to see this one play out, but I'm probably going to go with Mayweather by decision or a late-round TKO. He's too slick defensively, which is something Manny is sorely lacking in. Eventually, Floyd will time Manny and start opening up and landing clean shots.
