Manny Pacquiao who is yet to return to pro boxing was being expected to have a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, but his coach has a different opinion.

Speaking to Lucky Block, Pacquiao’s coach Justin Fortune said the following:

‘I don’t want to see Pacquiao-Mayweather 2, that would have been a great fight around a year or two after the first fight, when it was fresh in people’s memory, I’d rather see Pacquiao return against Crawford, that’s a massive payday and guess what, it’s a 50-50 fight.

‘Manny has a 50 percent chance of winning because he’s still a freak athlete and it wouldn’t take much to pull him into shape.

‘Even though he’s slowed down a bit, he’s still twice as fast as anyone out there. The power he has is a gift from god, he hasn’t lost his power.

‘Manny has never ducked anyone, he’s always fought the best, and not saying Mayweather’s not the best but he’s old, I’d prefer Manny to come back and prove himself against a current world champion like Crawford.’

However, most fans want to see the rematch.
