MANILA -- Now that Manny Pacquiao has defeated Miguel Cotto and has won a seventh world title in the process, the newly-crowned WBO champ may start considering arranging a fight with the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr.

According to boxing analyst Ed Tolentino, Mayweather may be the only hurdle Pacquiao would need to overcome to further validate his status as among history’s best boxers.

“The ultimate of course is Floyd Mayweather Jr. “ said Tolentino. “No matter how arrogant he is, no matter how cocky he is, he is arrogantly unbeaten. and we can't take that away from him.”

Mayweather, also known as “Pretty Boy Floyd”, is the former top pound-for-pound (P4P) boxer in the world, having been unbeaten in 40 fights. He also won 6 world titles in 5 different weight classes.

Pacquiao succeeded Mayweather as the top P4P when the latter went into an early retirement. After a year, Mayweather “unretired” to outclass Pacquiao's former nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez.

Tolentino said the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout can easily become the biggest moneyed fight in recent boxing history.

“He returned because he wants Manny Pacquiao. We're talking here of Fort Knox like money… big money. This is one reason why the fight will happen, plus of course, the boxing universe will demand this fight,” he said.

However, there are things that have to be settled before a Pacquiao-Mayweather can be arranged.

Aside from the weight, both fighters will still have to agree about the revenue cut, should negotiations begin.

Earlier reports said, Mayweather is asking for a 60-40 cut. Pacquiao’s camp, however, demands 50-50.

Tolentino believes a Pacquiao-Mayweather match will save the sport.

“[This is a] fight that is good for boxing, that will restore attention to boxing. Even [boxing great] Sugar Ray Leonard is saying that he wants this fight to happen, boxing needs this fight to happen,” he said.
