Pacquiao could return in spring of next year

Mitchell_Kane10y ago

Per USA Today, who spoke with Roach and Arum... Says it could take place in March/April/May...three names being mentioned are Matthysse, Brook, Crawford... http://boxingjunkie.com/2015/07/03/freddie-roach-manny-pacquiao-will-return-against-tough-foe-whom-could-he-face/ When Pacquiao does return to the ring, trainer Freddie Roach says he wants Manny to “go back into the deep water” and believes he’ll back in the approximately eight months from now, pinning him for a comeback in March, April or May. Bob Arum mentioned Lucas Matthysse and Kell Brook as possibilities in an interview with USA TODAY Sports and has also thrown around Terence Crawford’s name in the past.

Matthysse is managed by Haymon, who is being sued for 100 million against Bob Arum. How stupid are you to think that fight could actually get made with all of those legal stipulations surrounding them> Listen to this idiot, try to keep up. He left haymon smartass.

Matthysse is managed by Haymon, who is being sued for 100 million against Bob Arum. How stupid are you to think that fight could actually get made with all of those legal stipulations surrounding them> He's with GBP and managed by someone else, not Haymon. Making the fight wouldn't be an issue, especially since Bob and Oscar seem to be back on the same bandwagon.

Per USA Today, who spoke with Roach and Arum...

Brook is a world titlist and a good match up but Pacman eats him up. Mathysse gets whooped.

10y ago

If that garbage version of pacquaio shows up next year against Lucas he'd get obliterated.

10y ago

I feel like Matts needs his break. I'm all for Pacquiao vs Matthysse, but I'll be gutted for the loser.

10y ago

I'm all for Pac/Brook in the UK. Let Matts and Crawford battle it out.

10y ago

A year seems a bit much. His tear wasn't that bad, I wouldn't think.

10y ago

I think Pacquiaos best days are behind him and that he should retire but it would be interesting to see him fight Matthysse.

10y ago

He's gonna be out a year? Did he tear his whole fukin arm off or what? No, I don't think so.

Manny Pacquiao vs Lucas Matthysse would be sick
