GGG has also offered to fight Floyd at 154....a leisure that Marvelous wouldnt extend to SRL
He would beat Floyd's ass, for real. He hits too hard for him and Floyd's punches are lightweight to GGG. It would be a disaster, GGG by 4th rd KO.

Photos: Manny Pacquiao Plays in Kia Game As Expected
Posted by: Boxing Photos on 2/25/2015
Despite his upcoming megafight with Floyd Mayweather, Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao still played for Kia Carnival which pulled off another upset by beating the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters on Wednesday at SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

TMZ Sports ran a report last Tuesday night, claiming Pacquiao would discontinue his basketball play due to the upcoming Mayweather fight on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

That was wrong. Pacquiao entered in the second quarter of the game and stayed on the court for nearly seven minutes. However, he still failed to register his first career field goal after missing two three-point attempts.

Kia trailed by as much as 17, but fought back for the remainder of the period and grabbed the lead for good thanks to the Carnival’s superb three-point shooting led by Hiram Bagatsing who drilled six triples en route to 21 points.

It was the fourth game that Pacquiao played in and just last week, he finally scored his first point through a free throw line split in their upset of Purefoods.

Pacquiao said he will play for Kia once again on Saturday against fellow expansion squad Blackwater, according to Sports5′s Mara Aquino, before flying to the United States to continue his preparations for his fight against Mayweather.

Play in meaningless basketball games, opening yourself to injuries, while supposedly training for the biggest fight in not only YOUR career, but one of the biggest matchups (in ANY sport's history) ever brehs
Meaningless? These are regular season games
That's my two sport athlete
No trash-talk from Roach, but he says Pacquiao can stop Mayweather

One element of boxing’s Super Bowl being made which bears watching is the trash-talk, or lack thereof, between the principals and parties affiliated with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
Hardcore fans know that Pacman, a most devout Christian, is more inclined to tell us that he’s praying for a poor soul who has busted his chops publicly. Mayweather, they also know, is unafraid to sling it, bring it hard in the smack-talk arena. His dad, Floyd Sr., ain’t afraid to rumble with words, either. He told me last month that he thought when his son and The Congressman fought, Floyd would beat the excrement out of Pacman.
I asked Pac’s trainer Freddie Roach about that possibility when we chatted on Monday night. And yes; I was aware of the possibility that Roach, who often acts as the stand-in chops-buster, or the designated responder, if you will, for Manny or another of his quieter boxers, might return fire hard on Senior.
“They can have that opinion,” said Roach, who informed me that Pacman will be hitting the Wild Card on March 8, to begin his in-the-U.S.-training. “If I was his father, I might say that too! But I think Manny beats Floyd, breaks him down, and knocks him out before it’s over.”
No small task, considering how adept Floyd is as a defender…and also because while Manny showed pop galore in his last outing, against Chris Algieri, his last stop came in 2009 (vs. Miguel Cotto). Freddie explained further his reasoning.
“In watching Floyd’s career, he’s definitely slowed down somewhat,” the trainer said. “Manny has also some, everyone ages. But I think Manny’s legs are fresher than Floyd’s. Against Algieri, Manny boxed really good, good rounds the whole time.”
Indeed; his stamina tank was remarkably level the whole way through.
“When Floyd sits down and rests, Manny will catch him. Floyd is a defensive master. But he takes rests. And the only place to do it is on the ropes. If Manny catches him on the ropes…Floyd can look at Manny, think he has pretty fast hands, punches pretty hard. But you don’t really feel it until you’re in there with him. He has devastating power, and he jumps in so suddenly. He still has the power and speed to get a KO.”

Manny jump shot looks all kinda fukked up like an awkward cross between a newborn deer calf learning to walk and Stephen Hawkins doing pushups

No need for them to talk shyt now....they got the fight signed. All the "talking" is done now, because they (Floyd & Manny) can now prove it in the ring

The breh in street clothes got a look on his face like Pooky showed Deebo, looking like he bout to cry inside cause Manny took his run. Of course the phillipino D Wade is loving basking in Manny's presence that nikka prolly be hiding in a stall sniffin Manny practice jersey, but my favorite part of the pic just look at the breh with the headphones! My man looking straight up absolutely disgusted, like "Aye, fukk this nikka"
