Arguably the two greatest pound-for-pound boxers of their era, the pair have never met in the ring.
Pacquiao, 35, plans to run for the Senate in his homeland after retiring. He is already heavily involved in politics having twice been elected to Congress.
After revealing his plans to retire, Pacquiao told DZMM: 'There’s a big possibility that I will run for Senator. UNA (United Nationalist Alliance party) asked me to join its slate and I am grateful they picked me.'
Pacquiao has won an unprecedented eight world titles in five different divisions.
He bounced back from consecutive defeats in 2012 by Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez to beat Brandon Rios and his re-match with Bradley.
Pacquiao's next fight sees him face Chris Algieri in Macau on November 22.
He has a career record of 56 wins from 63 bouts. —Dailymail
