Mayweather’s Protégé Demands Explosive Rematch Between

Mayweather’s Protégé Demands Explosive Rematch Between Floyd and Pacquiao: “The World Needs to See It Again!”

One of the questions that has gained great interest in the boxing world is, who will be Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent? His draw against Mario Barrios generated a wave of positive reactions for his performance. Many still believe that the Filipino deserved the victory, considering how he fought against the current welterweight champion. Even his last opponent, Yordenis Ugas, who retired Pacquiao four years ago, shared his admiration. “How is it possible that four years later he faces a boy 16 years younger and gives another good fight? Pacquiao is incredible. Without a doubt, one of the best in history,” Ugas said

Although Mario Barrios retained his belt, Manny Pacquiao won the sympathy of the public, and the fight revived conversations about a possible rematch between Pacquiao and Mayweather. The last time the two legends met was in 2015, in one of the most lucrative, yet disappointing fights in boxing history. Pacquiao fought on for six more years after that night, while Floyd Mayweather retired professionally in 2017. Now, with Pacquiao back in the ring and holding his own against a younger champion, he is already asking Mayweather to “sign the contract”.

Who supports the “Mayweather vs Pacquiao” rematch?

Curmel Moton, the undefeated lightweight prospect who turned professional in 2023, recently shared his thoughts on the rumor surrounding Manny Pacquiao’s rematch. Yesterday, Pro Boxing Fans posted a video on Instagram with the caption: “PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER 2”Curmel Morton wants to see two legends in the ring again”. In the video, Moton was asked his opinion on Pacquiao’s recent fight against Mario Barrios and whether a rematch should be the next step.

The 19-year-old, who has a current record of 8-0, offered a clear answer: “I don’t think Floyd wants a rematch, although Manny does. It was a great fight. I think we should leave it at that.” He then suggested his preferred option: “I’d like to see Pacquiao and Mayweather fight. That’s the fight I really want to see,” it was a very open answer where it really is the feeling of the general public, but his closeness to Mayweather has provided a clear picture of the former champion’s feelings.

For Teofimo, Pacquiao also saw Pacquiao as the winner against Mario Barrios

In an interview with Fight Hype earlier this month, Teofimo Lopez praised Manny Pacquiao’s remarkable form: “What Manny Pacquiao is doing at this age is different. He’s upbeat, full of energy, motivated and determined, and I look forward to seeing him raise his hands again, become world champion once again.” But when the 62-8 boxer’s fight against Mario Barrios was declared a draw, Lopez did not hold back his frustration.

“I had it 10-2, 9-3. The amount of punches he was landing, and in the last 10 seconds, he was showing more aggressive punches”. While many expected the rematch with Barrios to be next, Lopez had another vision in mind. He called for a rematch between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to avenge Pacquiao’s 2015 loss. “He should fight Mayweather,” said the 22-1 boxer. Why? Because “Pacquiao still has it. I don’t think he should do the rematch with Barrios. I feel like Pacquiao did more than enough and eclipsed him”.

Floyd Mayweather’s Uncle Slams Canelo Alvarez Over Terence

Floyd Mayweather’s Uncle Slams Canelo Alvarez Over Terence Crawford and ‘Money May’ Comparison

Floyd Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after a crossover fight with Conor McGregor.

During his era as ‘Money’ Mayweather, he fought a young upstart in Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, whom he beat by majority decision.

Fast forward 12 years from that loss, and Canelo now sits as the undisputed super middleweight king, ready to face four-division great Terence Crawford.

The comparisons between Floyd and ‘Bud’ have been made by the Mexican himself, claiming that a win here is better than a victory over the undefeated legend, even if Crawford is jumping up two weight classes.

At the time, the 23-year-old was 43 fights into his professional career and coming off a three-fight win streak, which included ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley.

While he may have made some comparisons between the Omaha fighter and the boxer once known as ‘Pretty Boy’, the admiration for his rival cannot be understated.

“What was Canelo 20 something? He had more fights than Floyd, and he lost? To a man who was 30-something years old.

“How are you at the top of your career, you ain’t in your prime at 36. That’s not your prime, your prime is in your 20s.”

At the time, the 23-year-old was 43 fights into his professional career and coming off a three-fight win streak, which included ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley.

Canelo Alvarez ranks former rival Floyd Mayweather a 10/10

While he may have made some comparisons between the Omaha fighter and the boxer once known as ‘Pretty Boy’, the admiration for his rival cannot be understated.

Canelo said: “10/10. You know, I don’t need to explain it.”

He also ranked Dmitry Bivol and Gennady Golovkin, who never suffered a knockdown in his career, in the same bracket, labelling the latter a ‘complete fighter’.

The Guadalajara native will have to muster up a performance from his prime years, similar to the ‘GGG’ rematch win, to add to his Hall of Fame career, or face an unexpected upset from a boxer looking to end his career with the biggest notch available.
