- Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao, who has recovered from his shoulder injury is aching for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather in 2016 and still believes he won the last fight. The last fight ended in a unanimous decision and Manny believes Floyd was running away from him the whole fight. "He was running away all the time, I was making the fight by stalking him and believe that I deserved a victory. " according to Manny.
Though experts at the Leonard Garcia School o' Biffing may agree with Pacquiao, Floyd’s footwork was too good even though Manny landed punches in the process getting hit a lot. Manny says he would concentrate on their fight and would want it to happen in 2016 and would also do better than last time.
Although Floyd faces Andre Berto next, Manny's promoter, Bob Arum said that Manny should face Amir Khan instead of Floyd.
