Could Manny Pacquiao<\/a> really defeat Floyd Mayweather the second time around, 11 years after their first encounter?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a question boxing fans thought they might never have to consider, but in 2026, Mayweather-Pacquiao II could become a reality.<\/p>\n

Last month, Pacquiao confirmed he is open to a rematch<\/a>, adding that \u201cthere\u2019s an ongoing negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eight-division world champion ended a four-year absence from the ring with a credible draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. Many observers felt the 46-year-old did enough to claim victory.<\/p>\n

Former Pacquiao opponent Tim Bradley \u2013\u2013 who fought \u201cPac-Man\u201d three times between 2012 and 2016, recording one win and two losses \u2013\u2013 shared his thoughts on a potential rematch with Mayweather in an interview with FightHype<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cManny went in the ring with a young gun [and] got a draw. Many people thought that he won the fight against Barrios. Barrios is no easy task, man. And Manny was able to go in there and do what he did against Barrios.<\/p>\n

\u201cMayweather\u2019s already shown that he can beat Manny Pacquiao. I feel Mayweather still today, with his age, he still will serve and beat Manny Pacquiao.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradley described their first fight as a \u201cdud,\u201d but explained why Mayweather, even at 48, could still overcome \u2018Pac-Man.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Mayweather\u2019s style. The way he\u2019s able to maintain his distance, fight on the outside, and keep Manny reaching while countering him on the way in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradley isn\u2019t the only one to make their feelings known on the potential rematch, with a former world champion who took on both men also weighing in with his thoughts.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could Manny Pacquiao really defeat Floyd Mayweather the second time around, 11 years after their first encounter?
