Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather & Chris Algieri: Boxer Plans Explosive 2014 & 2015, Ending Unbeaten Money Mayweather Run

Manny Pacquiao has insisted he is not taking Chris Algieri lightly, but is still looking ahead to a huge (possible) 2015 showdown with Floyd Mayweather. The two have been linked with one another for the majority of their careers, and Manny has insisted that he believes he will get a dream bout against Money Mayweather as he prepares for an explosive end to 2014 and an explosive 2015 throughout.

He said: "Hopefully that fight will happen by next year. I'm crossing my fingers that that fight will happen but right now my mind is already set to focus on my next fight with Algieri. I think the time to talk about that issue is after the fight."

He explained that he is not ready to retire, saying, "I'm not thinking yet about retirement. I will continue my boxing career, the journey will continue in my boxing career and we'll see what happens."

Is he taking his next opponent lightly, knowing that Mayweather awaits? 

"No, absolutely I'm not taking this fight lightly because I know his hunger and he's young and he wants to win the fight, but I will not let that happen," he said. "I'm not thinking about the knock-out because it will make me confident and careless. If the knock-out comes it will come but my focus is to make sure that 100 percent condition and killer instinct is there, the aggressiveness is there, so that's my focus in training."

How will Manny finish his career; in style, or will he walk out with only distant memories of success?
