Pacquiao should fight Canelo or Maidana and not give them a rehydration clause and actually fight someone big and good for once, since he's has the most weight classes of all time (lol).
His 8 titles is a joke. Mayweather consistently fights WAY BIGGER guys on fight night than Manny, weighing almost the same.
Manny is a joke and that's why he signed with Arum. Period. Anyone that doesn't see that, is a blind fan.
Since it doesn't look like the Mayweather fight will ever happen, I'd love to see Pacquiao fight Adrien Broner. I don't think there are any comparisons between Mayweather and Broner but I'd still like to see this fight.
.
But Pacquiao will fight his mother if uncle Bob told him to. He'd fight whomever uncle Bob tells him to.
Terrance Crawford!! Just kidding... I think a logical fight would be Khan in England. Another good opponent would be Danny Garcia, maybe at a catch weight.
Uncle Bob has yet to find a suitable heir apparent to Pacquiao as Top Rank's superstar boxer and premier cash cow so it's more likely he will preserve him by pitting him against a named but less risky opponents preferably one who is coming off a loss.
Arum and even Pacquiao as well as Roach were very much adamant over a fight against Ruslan Provodnikov. But that was before Ruslan fought and lost to the feather-fisted Algieri. There may now be a change of heart and Ruslan may now be a prime candidate for a Pacquiao fight.
For Arum it will be a win-win situation as he will be giving Ruslan a chance to bounce back in a big way, regardless of his result against Manny. That's what admirable about Bob, he never abandons a loyal ward even after a major loss ( Pacquiao, Donaire, Alvarado,Rios ar prime examples). Ruslan could not be any different.
Manny and Roach have nothing to fear now in Ruslan seeing his performance against Algieri with Roach even on his corner. ( Come to think of it, Roach presence or non-presence as a coach could even be instrumental in that defeat. Roach knows how to make and unmake Ruslan according to the agenda of his bosses ).
But Top Rank of course can always re-project Ruslan as a genuine threat to Pacquiao despite his loss to Algieri for purely commercial purpose.
khan is a lowrisk fight to mayweather...
and much lower to pac due to that glass chin... he can ran all night but pac speed and volume punching will swarm khan all nite and eventually hit that brittle target...
a khan fight aint significant to pacs retiring career...
besides, theres still provo, and jmm... pac aint runnin out of oppinent unlike floyd... the only good I see from a khan fight is pac stealin away the only lucrative fight from floyd... forcing floyd to admit that maidana deserves a rematch from him
If not Floyd I'd suggest Pac to retire from boxing.
Broner!
Whoever uncle bob puts infront of him
Other than Floyd, NONE.
At this point the Mayweather fight is basically out of the question because of Mayweather.
I feel the best possible fight for Pacquiao would be Amir Khan. & I would back Khan to win that fight honestly.
Tim Bradley dodged Khan in 2011, even when Khan was willing to do a 50/50 split of money, so Maybe Bradley can take a 2014 beating from Khan.
