Pacquiao has sent fight fans into a frenzy (AP Photo/Eric Jamison)
When The Boxing Truth opened up its phone lines to fans from across the world Sunday night, one thought reigned supreme, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather must fight each other.
From hip-hop recording artist and Mayweather antagonist R.A. The Rugged Man to a Pacquiao fan by the name of GlenSEO chiming in via SKYPE from the Philippines, the fight on every one's mind is a showdown between Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Listen in as dozens of fans give us their thoughts of Pacquiao's destruction of Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, and his next move inside the ring.
Some fans think Pacquiao is unstoppable, while others argue Mayweather will have a walk in the park - but all want to see the showdown, with no excuses due to difficult negotiations.

ok go ricardo, make the contract now and have it signed by bob arum, and the two fighters. and let's see if he will remain as "pretty boy" or not.
I do not buy the idea. PBF should first fight Mosley or Paul Williams or Cotto before allowing him to fight the Pacman. His last fight against Marquez did not amount to anything. After Pacquiao's destruction of Cotto, the boxing landscape has drastically changed. Pacquiao earned his level the hard way. The honor to fight Manny should not be offered to the boastful ill-mannered PBF on a silver platter.
55 Pacquiao 45 Gayweather, Jr.
how about seeing this first, Valero vs. R. Hatton, Mayweather vs. Cotto, and Pacquiao vx. Marquez (3)?
...making this to happen first, will bring lots of excitement for the coming year 2010. then maybe later will be the mega fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
there is anyone left and that is Floyd Mayweather..i want to see this two fighters display thier boxing abilities inside the ring..if Floyd Mayweather has tremendous boxing defense(run and hug},Manny Pacquiao has also variety of boxing skills..Manny Pacquiao has nothing to prove except this guy Floyd Mayweather claiming that he is the true P4P king and PPV king..i want to see Mayweather face after this fight to prove that he is worthy to called the "pretty boy" in boxing..if this mega fight happen in the future then Floyd Mayweather need a wide boxing ring for him to run and run until Manny Pacquiao becomes tired..after he is tired he will attack Pacquiao that's the game plan of team Mayweather in order for them to win the fight..HOW SAD?
dudes. . . shoulder roll don't work on southpaws. . . it won't be a contest against floyd. . . he'll just run all night. . . it will look like a boring match. floyd will just want the money and his 0 record intact. . . if cotto can't stagger pac then how can floyd. . . i'm just telling facts bro. . .
blood...money is a bidnessman is all...AND A DISGRACE TO THE BORTHERS...no such comfort for a man claiming to be the p4p king.
plus. . . mayweather sr said, his son would whoop manny, yet he would advise him not to take that fight. . .
when he was interviewed in the pac cotto fight. . .
now that says a lot. . . and also, we should believe roach coz everytime he's asked how to beat floyd roachs says he already knows how to beat floyd. . .he says it right away. . .
Honestly there should be no delay setting up Manny vs. Money. Former #1p4p vs. Current #p4p needs to happen to settle the dispute. Otherwise we will all forever be left wondering who is #1. The stage is set for a true welterweight bout at the FULL 147 limit.
BREAKING NEWS!!! Manny Pacquiao vs. Yuri Foreman will be next.
...the fight will be a junior middle weight at 154lbs. Roach and Arum are talking about this bout.
Mayweather will not fight Manny.... he deserves a better competition who will test his ring greatness a great CHAMP like IVAN CALDERON i think it will be in middleweight class.... now thats the fight that Mayweather wants....
Pacman VS Floydie , is not gonna happen in the near future.
Manny Pacquiao will be so busy and consumed with his obsession
of becoming a Congressman. Although , I wouldn't want him
to enter politics, I believe he's a sure winner in this quest
for a political position.
Maybe after the election it will be "The Honorable, Congressman
/ Dr. Emmanuel Pacquiao vs Floyd 'Money' Mayweather" is what awaits us.
AND WHAT DO WE FAVOR BOXING FANS AROUND THE WORLD? A GREAT PACMAN - COTTO FIGHT, A VERY COMPETETIVE FIGHT FOR PACMAN BECAUSE HE'S A CHALLENGER AND SMALLER GUY, OR THE FIGHT MAYWEATHER - MARQUEZ? FIRST IN WEIGH-IN, THEN IN SIZE, AGE.. WHAT DO WE EXPECT TO THIS GREAT AMERICAN FIGHTER? HE ALWAYS MAKE SURE ITS IN HIS ADVANTAGE... A GREAT COWARD INDEED! IF I WERE TO ASK, ID RATHER SEE PACMAN RETIRE THAN FIGHTING MONGOFLOYD, WHATS THE POINT ANYWAY?
The point to fighting Floyd would be to forever without a doubt settle the p4p rankings. There will be no more debate. No more pacfans and floydfans going back in forth. It would be for history. That manny beat the unbeatable or that floyd is rightfully #1. This fight WILL happen its what evryone in the general public is waiting for....has been waiting for. It will happen b4 Manny runs for office. Top rank and goldenboy will have too much pressure to allow this to slip by. This is not a matter of manny needing floyd or floyd needing money its about the boxing public. For this super duper mega fight to not happen would be an attrocity to the sport of boxing and even more so to the fans that watch. Floyd wants money and regardless the split he'll get a large share and Manny just wants to be the best and fight the best. It would be an epic battle between a boxer and a fighter the 2 diferent entities of boxing and the best at what they do....who wouldn't want to see it?
truth be told, as i watched the first maymeather interview after pac-cotto, he is on it again using out-of-this-world reasoning. dont expect too much that this fight will happen. manny, unless he changes his mind not to enter politics will be a lot busier doing other things. another fight this march for him, but not mayweather.
off topic:next Sunday (Nov.22) another Filipino boxing world champion will defense his WBO superflyweight title in the name of Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona (W14-L0,12 KO's) from General Santos City,Philippines..he is the youngest world champion right now at the age of 19..he will face against Alejandro "Payasito" Hernandez of Mexico..this boxing event will be held in Ontario,Canada on November 22 wherein he grabbed this title in the same place..Marvin Sonsona captured his WBO superflyweight title against veteran Puerto Rican Jose "Carita" Lopez last Sept. 2009..to all the Filipino who always love and support boxing,don't miss this opportunity to watch his fight because Marvin Sonsona is also considered as the Manny Pacquiao in the making..
Floyd is just plain coward. If I were Manny, I'd pass on Floyd. Anyway, there are many boxers who retired as never been beaten but there is only one Manny that conquered 7 divisions. No point of comparison who is better between Manny or floyd. Common sense speak of the former as the better Boxer and of course the Better Man in every aspect.

Jeff b....common sense is not common
there are many harsh reality of comparison between manny and mayweather which we are all know, mayweather fights smaller fighters, manny fights the bigger ones. mayweather fights are so boring, manny fights are entertaining. mayweather talks too much, manny doesnt that much. manny is humble and modest while mayweather is arrogant! there should be no comparison! And yet, they say mayweather is on the same league as mannys!
I should not be a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. It must be Pacquiao-Mayweather instead!
The problem is that: The Mayweathers don't want to fight the pacman. They will try to demand things that are impossible to agree with so that the fight won't happen.
Pac haters should ask the cowards(Mayweathers) camp and NOT THE PACMAN CAMP (period).
Pacquiao must be the forerunner here not Mayweather!
I hear your comparisons man. What i'd like to be heard is this...Floyd Mayweather is the best or one of the best defensive boxers alive. Phenomanal at hitting and not getting hit. Manny is the most explosive offensive fighter, great and dealing good hits in rapid sucession and getting to his target. These 2 men are built for this fight the best of both worlds, Boxer vs. Fighter, defense vs. offense. There will be bumps in the road to make it happen but I feel that with the majority of the public pushing for this fight it will be very difficult to avoid
There's no point in fighting Floyd. He is a big fraud in boxing by ducking the best opponents possible. Truth be told, Floyd doesn't deserve a fight with Manny. If ever it happens, the most appropriate title is "Good vs. Evil" Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, in that order.
For me, i don't want Pacman to fight Gayweather for reasons:
- He cheats on weigh to gain advantage.
- He'll just Jab and run so it will be very boring and again advantage to Gayweather.
- Manny don't have to prove anymore by fighting Gayweather.
- Manny don't need Gayweather but Gayweather needs manny.
- Gayweather sucks
Pacman vs Mayweather fight this impossible coz Mayweather is a boring fighter.

Mr. Lois I think this fight should be Pacquiao-Mayweather and it should be 60/40 for Manny the least.
Reasons:
1. Manny is the #1 Pound for Pound, Floyd is #2.
2. Manny currently holding 3 belts at 147-WBO and 140-IBO plus Ring Mag 140, Floyd none.
I still have to see you RLouis confirming that Pacman is a P4P king. Better yet, I want to read more objective articles from you when you assess Pac's skills and chances in a fight. Well, Pac made you look like a fool after he demolished Cotto as a genuine welterweight who can beat the Pinoy icon.
Floyd Jr. will not fight Pacquiao. He's afraid the Manny will chop his head off. Li'l Floyd wants to fight Cotto's mother-in-law, she's about 65, short, and overweight.
To Fraud Jr,
Better start drinking ur dad's pee. Yum-Yum
the one who drinks his pee on training gets 60 percent. the one who eats his sh!t gets 75 percent. the one does both gets 85 percent. thats fair enough.
Pacman vs. Floyd? It's a mismatch. Cotto can even beat Mayweather. I think around 7 to 9 rounds. Pacman can even knockout cold Floyd within 3 rounds
Floyd has no right to fight Pacman, he doesn't even have 1 belt. Floyd uses his shoulder for defense. That shoulder will be pounded by Pacman as he did to Cotto's shoulder.
"Some fans think Pacquiao is unstoppable, I like to argue Mayweather will have a walk in the park - but all want to see the showdown." by ricardo "retard" lois.
PACQUIAO versus MAYWEATHER,that's what it should be. Great fight? I dont think so. The fans will just be frustrated by Mayweather's style. Surely, he will adopt the running man style which Cotto adopted from 9th round.
floyd will do the hide & pacman will do the seek, now once floyd gets tagged it's all over. . .
Gayweather is not in a position to demand things..because right now he doesn't even have a Title, he doesn't have a belt..in short HE IS NOT A CHAMPION! all he has was all "Former"!
He maybe the best or one of the best defensive boxers alive..it is because he keeps ducking the elite fighters. That's what he called defense!! LOL
The only reason why he demand things that are impossible to agree,so that the fight won't happen..because of the very fact that HE IS A COWARD!
pacman will KO mayweather in 3 sekonds
the one who drinks his pee on training gets 60 percent. the one who eats his sh!t gets 75 percent. the one does both gets 85 percent. thats fair enough.

Mayweather is more of a businessman than a boxer.
Gayweather sucks..thats it ...NOBODY gives a sh@##! about him.
if ever pacman faces this gayrunner, the ring should measure 6ft x 6ft to prevent this chimpweather to run.
Fak you and your pachating kind Lois! Mayweather doesn't have to be made if Mayweather doesn't take a dose of REALITY medicine. Pacquiao doesn't need, never needed Mayweather for anything. Has Mayweather fought anybody remotely as good as Cotto? He wouldn't fight Cotto or Margarito! This guy has been exposed. Do you think Marquez will be standing at the end of 12 rounds at 145 or 147 lbs. against this Pacman? Maybe that's the fight that should be made(Pacquiao Marquez3) except that boxing fans already know the outcome of this fight, that Marquez could get seriously hurt! If Pachaters truly want this fight to happen then go advise your cowardly fighter Mayweather to be realistic and accept the fact that he's not the MAN and he could still make a heck of a lot of money by accepting less than 50% because otherwise he's just wasting time as Arum alludes to.
I really don't get why other people think that Floyd can beat Manny. He can't even knockout a small, fat and slow guy in Marquez. So called analyst thinks that Pacquiao will still have a hard time knocking out Marquez at 140 or 147. I really think that Pacquaio should no longer fight Marquez as he is just going to kill the guy if he does. One more thing Floyd fans, your boy is afraid to even fight Margarito, Cotto or Mosley. I am pretty sure that floyd's balls are right up his @ss after seeing the Pacquiao fight.
i'll tell you man!Floyd jr.he will experience the knock out in his whole life once he fought Manny.no doubt,
Reason Why Dela Hoya will Hate Manny Pacquiao Forever
1) Delahoya first Promotion – Manny beat barrera like Hell
2) Manny Chose Top rank over GBP,
3) Manny Beat Delahoya to retirement
4) Manny Break His 6 weight division title record
5) Manny will break his PPV record Buy (After
paquiao/Mayweatther ) fight
