“Obviously, I would like to get a shot at Manny Pacquiao, he’s got the WBA super title,” said James in a story on boxingscene.com.

“But I know he’s such a big name, so it really doesn’t matter. I want any of the big name welterweights, we can really put on a good show.”

The 32-year-old James (27-1, 12 KOs) has won his last seven bouts since losing to Olympic bronze medalist and title contender Yordenis Ugas four years ago.

James isn’t the only one who wants a crack at Pacquiao, who hasn’t fought since beating Keith Thurman for the WBA (Super) belt in July of last year.

Undefeated welterweight champions Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr., as well as former champions Danny Garcia and Mikey Garcia and even ex-UFC star Conor McGregor also want in on the Pacquiao sweepstakes.
