Maybe a bit harsh, Floyd did his thing and deffo won at least a couple of rounds, even in the rounds he lost, he stunk them out enough that the commentators had him winning them.
Wether or not i would want to see a rematch would be based on Floyd's attitude going in, if he just wanted the money whilst doing the absolute minimum required of him, like he has done against every fighter since Hatton, then i'm not interested in watching him vs anyone. If he went into it, like he had something to prove, like he did against Hatton, i'd watch him vs Pacquiao for a second go round.
Brother you are far from stupid. You know Floyd would do just his thing. And just stick and move.
It would be 9-3 Floyd

Maybe in the commentry box but there's no way he outlanded Pac in fight 1.
But going over old ground isn't my point, my point is about how much Floyd wants to impress. You understand my point about Hatton. Floyd used to cry in the centre of the ring after big wins (Gatti, Hatton) etc... and those were hungry clinical performances that ended with stoppages. I only want to see a hungry Floyd, not some minature hopkins trying to cure my insomnia boxing without passion or fire.
Floyd should come back, at least he'd be facing a healthy Pacquiao.. are dumb fucks still calling a proven and documented injury an excuse? Of course lol..
Floyd will likely win again, because he'll prevent as much actual fighting as possible and edge the rounds. And just like last time he'll win, and still not really beat the guy. Pacquiao isn't afraid whatsoever of him, nothing to be afraid of. No risk of getting knocked out. It's frustrating fighting a guy that hates to fight.

Their first fight was worth about 18 cents.
If that were the case Floyd would be in serious debt for his garbage run at 147 154 & 152.
I have an IOU for him. Just waiting to bump into him.

9-3 or 10-2, no drama, no competition. Pac talked a big game but when he got in there he was no different than most of the fighters that stop punching when they face Floyd.

May-Pac 1 was just so predicable I admit I didn't purchase it. IMO if May fights again he should move up and challenge GGG, but he won't.
I agree 100% with your dated references. If Floyd comes back I would also rather see him face GGG, but as a boxing fan there's no way I'd miss a Pac rematch, even though I know the result would likely be the same; disappointing.
No interest in seeing them fight again. If they do keep fighting I want to see Manny fight Crawford and Floyd fight the winner of Canelo/Khan, Thurman/Porter or Spence or Brook etc... Anything but a repeat!

No interest in seeing FLOYD again. Canelo rematch will be no more exciting than the Pacquiao one.

I'd go so far as to say he was worse than many.
I'd agree, amazing how everything is Floyd's fault when Manny followed him around like a puppy dog that couldn't bark.
..my feeling is that no matter how many times they meet, Floyd will win 9 out of 10 times with minimum advantage just like the first time...location also being the factor in the equation...
Holy fornicate, Floyd beat Manny, and it was not a real close contest. What is more important than that is how boring it was, whether you think it was close or not. Please no rematch. Ricky, Ikoralev, Cheppy, and whoever else is dumber than a box about this subject, let it go, and move on. Pac waited until Floyd, who is 2 yrs older, was old enough to hopefully decline, but it didn't work. Whatever. Lets let the young guys fight it out, and see who rises to the top.

When Floyd announced his retirement i believed it. I think his wealth burned out his desire for boxing. With Pacquiao though i think boxing runs deeper, and he was sensational against Bradley. I think we'll see Pac again.
Could the lion share of 3m buys get Floyd out of retirement for another go-round against Pac?
Pac was sensational? What fight were you watching? The Pac/Bradley fight was horrible...neither has any boxing skills, both never set themselves to land a telling punch, neither fights in the pocket. If Pac wants to keep fighting let him, there are always B- level fighters he can beat...don't think we'll see FM any more.
IF FM returns I'd rather see him fight GGG at 154.

Do we really want to watch a rematch? It was built up and it failed to hit the heights. Pac Man can chat all about injuries, but we saw a conclusive win for FMJ. Move on.
Nothing I saw from Pac last Saturday night looked any different from the guy we saw get totally dominated by Mayweather. If they do a second fight, it will be strictly about the money since the outcome would be obvious. As a matter of fact, anytime Floyd has given a rematch, the second go around has always been an easier fight.
Sadly, I think the rematch will happen. It will be utter shite of course, but there will be suckers dumb enough to buy the fight, though less than last time out.

Depends how much Floyd wants it. I'm pretty sure he'd put in yet another cowardly performance, landing nothing of note over 36 minutes of non-action, in which case no.
But if the negative press he's had since last years farce has left him feeling like he has something to prove and has a desire to fight to a conclusive result... then absolutely.
Fans don't want to simply see the 2 best fighters of this generation in the ring, they want to see them swap some leather.

If you want to see two fighters swap some leather then you definitely don't want to see Mayweather. If I am going to watch Mayweather again, I want to see him show that he is still the best and mix it up with the upcoming stars. I would like to see him Vs Thurman or Crawford.
It won't happen, as we hear from $$Money$$ himself in this vid that he is either fighting MC or AB and we all know that him facing MC was conditional/based on whether or not MC beat Canelo (that didn't happen), thus we have been witnessing the staging of the Floyd vs Adrien "beef" that is orchestrated to bring in the $$$ due to all the fake "BEEF" scenarios.
