Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight is arguably the biggest of the last two decades.

It pits two of the most colorful and most celebrated boxers of the recent generation. The mega bout will take place on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena.

However, there is no confirmation if there will be a rematch between the two.

If there is no rematch set after the first Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight, expect other boxers to approach the camps of the two fighters.

They may be in the twilight years of their boxing careers but they are still the champions and most popular. One of those who are aspiring to battle Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the boxing ring is 28-year-old Kell Brook from England. He wants Pretty Boy and he wants the fight to happen soon because he thinks the undefeated American fighter is about to reach father time.

"He's a target now not a hero," said Brook according to online news site Express. "He's been at the top for so many years and no one has come close to touching him.

"I am here with a belt now and I want to get in there. He is heading towards 40 now and he is getting old, and the time is right for a young lion like me to come through."

Even if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is busy training for fight with Manny Pacquiao, the 28-year-old British boxer assumes Pretty Boy, who he idolizes, is thinking of him.

"There is no other welterweight pushing to come forward at this moment in time. Mayweather knows boxing and he has probably looked at my style and knows that I can adapt very similar to his style. I am also big at the weight, very accurate, powerful.

"He probably thinks he is at that level where he can pick and choose who he wants to fight and who he leaves alone. I want to be the chosen one."

As to who will win in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight, he said it will be the undefeated American fighter, comfortably.

"After the fight there will be only two men with world titles - the winner of Mayweather against Pacquiao and me with the IBF belt," he said. "Mayweather will win and win quite comfortably."
