Manny Pacquiao’s name is being floated as one of the top contenders of Floyd Mayweather Jr. if ever the former pound-for-pound king decides to come out of retirement.
Golden Boy Promotions chief executive officer Richard Schaeffer said Mayweather, who retired after beating Ricky Hatton in 2007, could pick from four high-profile opponents if he decides to once again climb the ring this year.
A Mayweather-Pacquiao match would pit the reigning pound-for-pound champion against the former title holder.

Mayweather was undefeated in 39 fights, with 25 knockouts, when he retired.
Pacquiao holds a 48-3-2 win-loss-draw record with 37 of his wins by way of knockout. He is currently training for his upcoming fight against Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas.
Schaeffer said Pacquiao would solidify his hold of the pound-for-pound title if he beats Hatton. “I don’t care who you put in front of (Pacquiao), big or small, he would be the pound-for-pound champion.”
He added that a Mayweater-Pacquiao match will be a huge draw in Las Vegas. “To put (Pacquiao) and Mayweather together, it would be for all the marbles. If you think about it, even if you were a casual fan, you would have to get excited about them.”
Others being considered are Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs), “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) and Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs).
Hatton is eyeing a rematch against Mayweather after suffering a ninth-round technical knockout (TKO) loss in their December 8, 2007 fight. He could earn that rematch if ever the British boxing superstar upsets Pacquiao.

“Just imagine the huge draw of a sellout crowd at Wembley Stadium in London with 100,000 people if Hatton would beat Pacquiao,” said Schaeffer. “It (Hatton-Mayweather) would be a huge, huge, historic fight.”
Floyd Mayweather, Jr VS Manny Pacquiao is a fight that has to happen and will happen.

Mayweather was wise to retire at this peak. Look at what’s happened to De La Hoya who kept fighting when he had no business being in the ring anymore. Fighters think they can pull off what Bernard Hopkins did against Pavlik. That being said, I would be ringside for that fight if it materializes but Mayweather has been out too long and Pacquiao has a ton of momentum. Pacquiao was brilliant against De La Hoya. I mean he tore him to shreds and I think he’s going to beat Hatton.
