Does Pacquiao's next opponent need a knockout to win?

Yes! As long as Bob Arum is calling the shots & fixing in house fights, the only way to win is KO Pacquiao!

yeah, mayweather might need a KO too, haha. that'd be messed up. but yeah no one is beating pacquiao to a decision, arum has the scorecards fixed.

Pac should fight Bradley next and Floyd should fught Guerrero to fool his blind fans.

lolz calling close fight robbery! anyway from the list of pacquiao possible opponents the only guys the could probably beat him is marquez and mayweather .... I dont see how cotto, petterson or bradley could ...

If Duckman gets knocked out it will be ruled a no contest and a rematch after xmas and his birthday party sometime in 2015 .

F this "beat the champ" junk. you either win a round or you didnt. you don't get an automatic 10 just for being the champion. kinda like how the championship rounds don't count anymore than the rest of the rounds. thats just my opinion though...especially in a time where the titles are so meaningless

This is why Boxing in general is in a badway. We have people justifying robberies with who holds the Title at the time and how the fighters faces look.

It would certainly help if your face didnt look like this after the fight http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VahHnP06xik/Tt5FJ0AE6GI/AAAAAAAABTk/fSxedq6rif8/s1600/iwonthefight.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/375917_276357695739107_193049230736621_778320_1218811305_n.jpg Furthermore, getting schooled all night like below, shouldnt be part of the gameplan. yea.but manny is the one who cant even spar till April and Juans ready to go.strange

His next opponent need to ko the fraud because his daddy arum will pay the judges if it goes to the decision. It's messed up because the odds are always in the chickens favor STEROID USAGE WEIGHT DRAINED TAMPERED WRAPS LEGIONS OF MORONS LIKE TOYMAN WHO WILL DEFEND THE FRAUD PAYED JUDGES the only way for anyone is to ko him. hopefully the chicken will finally get his shrinked steroid balls to fight the man he fears most ....mayweather

Yup, the only man getting the nodd over Pacman without a ko, is Floyd.

You have to BEAT the champion to beat the champion. In a close fight where the champion is also the fan favorite, he is probably getting the nod. You probably need to win 9 or 10 rounds or get a KO. agreed.........

Considering I gave Marquez 9 rounds you obviously need to do more than that to actually win. Part of me wants to see him get another chance, but then again if what he did in the last fight wasn't good enough then nothing he can ever do will be. Just upsets me that they would screw not only one of the best p4p fighters, but a HOFer and all time great.

Whoever Pacquiao's next opponent is, I'm pretty sure he isn't going to win if it goes to decision. Let's be honest here. So should Marquez just retire?? Should Cotto just fight Canelo? No just CLEARLY beat him like Floyd would. Shut out and there's no way Pacquiao gets the nod If its a close fight. More than likely it will go to Pacquiao
