MAYWEATHER wants a PACQUIAO FIGHT

Undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather JR. picked 6 time weight division champion Manny Pacquiao for his next fight after presumably pacquiao's victory over Miguel Cotto this November 14 fight in MGM Grand.

Manny Pacquiao vs Cotto

Mayweather appears to be underestimating Cotto's boxing prowess, as Mayweather was quoted after Cotto's defeat over Antonio Margarito,"mentally, Cotto is not the same."

Also, during last Cotto's split decision win over Ghana's Joshua Clotted, Mayweather believes that Coto lost that fight, quoting "It was close, but I thought he(Cotto) lost".

Bearing the facts in this unpredictable world of boxing, he believes "Pacquiao is a quick started and if I had to lean toward a fighter, I would say Pacquiao."

But typically the same as his father, renowned coach Mayweather Snr., junior believes that both Cotto and reigning pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao are way out his league.


The agreement between Pacquiao-Cotto hasn't been done in papers. But Top rank promoter Bob Arum said the done he had already done talks with both parties and both agreed although the purse split is still unknown.

Floyd Mayweather vs Marquez

Awaiting for formal releases of Pacquiao-Cotto fight, Mayweather and Marquez will be having a showdown this September 19. Marquez who currently rank #2 of Pound-for-Pound greatest boxers is not an easy opponent. Amongst Pacquiao's nemesis, Marquez is the hardest to beat though still is he down to 1 against Pacquiao. Mayweather and Marquez will be figthing under a catchweight of welterweight division, 141-147, also in this weight division Pacquiao defeated de la Hoya via a technical knockout. Both agreed to fight on 144lbs.

Marquez is currently a lightweight(131-135 lbs) champion of 3 out of 5 weight division belts(WBA,WBO, IBO/The Ring) while Mayweather retired last year leaving behind his WBC Super Welterweight, his 5th weight division belt after defeating Oscar de la Hoya in dream match. But Mayweather is a former super featherweight champion, the weight division in which Manny Pacquiao defeated Marquez, Barrera and Morales.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight Date

A dream match 2 between the former and reigning pound-for-pound kings will be a surefire pure entertainment fight. But this could never happen if one of them will be defeated in their upcoming fights. Whoever comes out victorious will have a better chance of fighting the others party winner also. A Mayweather-Pacquiao fight if agreed upon, will surely be next year since Manny Pacquaio will be having his fight this November, a few months will be enough to keep this fighter in condition against Floyd "Money" Mayweather.
