If Pacquiao-Mayweather happens, what’s the next step for both fighters?
November 25th, 2009
By Jason Edrei Calub Santos: Everywhere I go, everybody or at least two people are arguing or talking about the most likely upcoming fight between the two most dominant fighter in boxing, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Every boxing fan out there is asking for it, as said before “a fight of this magnitude” is needed in the sport of boxing. But what would be the aftermath of a so-called mega fight?
Now, if it was Floyd Mayweather Jr., a major set back would be devastating and his perfect record would have one single flaw that is almost impossible to overlook. No one really knows how he would handle a defeat. All the talks of being undefeated would just slip into the wind and never to be talked about anymore. It would change the way he brings a fighter into the ring. So, what else is there to do? Retirement would be the word.

You can talk all you want and say all the bad things about Pacman but your opinion won’t change what the little man has achieved. Paul will knock Pac, JMM beats Pac Ahhhhhhh SHADAP HATERS
back when ray robinson fought there wasnt so many weight divisions. now every 3-5 lbs puts you in a diff division. back then was like 7-10lb diff. So back then it meant more to be pound for pound champ
I take nothing away from Pac but some of the posters on this board are just plain over the top.
Pac closed the door for the Pac-JMM. He said no one wants to watch the fight.
Pro-Pac fans think that Marquez cannot bring up his power and speed at higher weight so Pac can easily knockout Marquez at 144-145lb match.
Anti-Pac fans criticizes Pac as ducking and dodging the fight. Everyone knows that Pac is one dimensional fighter who struggles against defensive fighters and counterpunchers. Pac knows that Marquez outpointed him in their 2 bouts. If they will meet for 3rd time, Marquez will send back Pacquiao back to primary school.
Pac should fight JMM again cuz everyone knows he never really beat JMM, and if he is the true warrior he says he is he will do so, as for PBF he should fight Mosley, Margarito, or since we’ve seen he has trouble making catch weights move up to 154 and take on other competition.
floyd and magarito to tall fighter and,pac with mosley two puncher and paul william with james tua tall vs power
Professor-Are you forgetting that the man Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest welterweight of all time. The phrase lb for lb was first used by boxing writers to describe SR Robinson.
I’m not trying to spoil the wishful thinking of so many boxing fans clamoring for a Pacman – Mayweather match. I think Floyd has still to prove his worth to challenge Manny. He should be going against Shane or Paul, if he wins then he can get a shot on Manny, but if he lose, then just hang up the gloves and plant CAMOTE.
And if Pacquiao beat Paul Williams, all those pacman haters (read Liam & Manuela) would say, he’s weight drained, haven’t fought at WW, etc.
And klitschko will kill paul williams!
i mean pacman…haha!
for macman: win or lose manny will quit boxing & run for congress & make movies in the philipines. 7-division champion is already marked in the history.
for floyd jr.: winning will mean retirement so as to avoid mosley. losing will mean a lot of excuses, conflict w/ his father, and a rematch w/ ricky hatton at the undercard..hehe.
P.S. floyd sr. & jr. are the one on steroids. speaking a thousand words per minute is no human =). making excuses before they even signed the contract is steroidal
I DONT HONESTLY BELIEVE PAUL WILLIAMS COULD MAKE
WELTERWEIGHT RIGHT NOW-AND FIGHT STRONG
I DON’T CARE IF PEOPLE THINK PAUL WILLIAMS IS TO TALL 4LITTLE PAC N PBF. BECAUSE THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT, AS LONG AS U FIGHT WITHIN THE WW WEIGHT LIMIT UR A WW. I DIDN’T C MIKE TYSON EVER SAY THAT HE WAS TO SHORT TO FIGHT THE BIGGER HVYWHTS. BUT YET HE STILL WHOOP AZZ! IF PBF AND PAC OR MOSLEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE THE BEST THEN THEY SHOULD STEP UP 2THE PLATE AND TAKE TURNS GETTING SMASHED BY PAUL WILLIAMS!
Well if Pacquiao win, We know that Mayweather will ask for a rematch and with all the money involve in their first fight, we know the both side will not say no to that. But if Floyd win a difficult fight against Pacquiao, we know a rematch will likely not going to happen. But if this is going a easy fight for Floyd, he will accept a rematch because of the money.
paul williams is to tall for both of them ,winner
needs to fight SUGAR -and SUGAR will KO either!
WILLIAMS needs to be in that MIDDLEWEIGHT TOURNOR.
PAUL WILLIAMS CAN EASLIY PUT THESE 2 SUPER HYPED UP CLOWNS TO RETIREMENT!!
PAUL WILLIAMS WOULD SMASH THE PACMAN AND PBF N2 THE GROUND… AND THE SAME 4MOSLEY HE DOESN’T WANT N’E OF P.WILL EITHER!
I think to shut Mayweather Sr. up about this steroid issue is for Mayweather himself test Pacquiao. Maybe he doesn’t trust those people who are doing the test on Pacquiao.
If Mayweather looses it would be like my dad says, He will go into isolation & then we will be wondering “Whatever happened to Mayweather” “Where is he now”…..I think Manny is going to win it. that is if Mayweather comes in at the “Catch Weight” which he failed to do againts a great boxer like JMM…..right?
And even if Pacquiao loses to Mayweather he has still achieved more.
PAUL WILLIAM – PAUL WILLIAMS – PAUL WILLIAMS
Like vdog says “Paul Williams will put them both into retirement”
I lost respect for Mayweather when he “retired”. Because in my opinion he DODGED Williams.
Williams is easy the most dangerous welterweight in the world. No-one wanted to face him at welterweight so the guy had to move up… and what happened then? No-one wants to fight him.
Its a depressing state of affairs.
I can already say that I want to see a rematch!!!
Paul Williams will put them both into retirement.
No, not retirer fight Shane Mosley and then retirer as the Greatest Welterweight of all time at 147. True P4P King like Roy jones jr.
If Mayweather loses, he will forever rant and rave about steroid use by Manny Pacquiao but they will never be able to prove it. They are already beginning to build that up as a reason for when they lose. Mayweather Sr is an egghead and so is his son
any chance that Mayweather Sr would keep his mouth shut? I bet you, if Jr loses, he will find several excuses … steroids was shot down by the Nevada comm … catch weight? using cement wraps? ref was on pacman’s side? there were 2 pacmans fighting (as Jr was getting hits from everywhere)?
I would guess it’s the last fight for pacman either way. Not sure about Mayweather though, especially if he loses.
Unification bout with Mosley-Berto winner…
They would have to fight Mosley vs Berto winner I think or Paul Williams if he continues winning
