Pacquiao "danny garcia could be potential opponent'

ht; Mayweather not among them November 6, 2015 2:40pm Tags: mannypacquiao, floydmayweather After earlier saying that there are ongoing negotiations for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao did not mention the brash American as a possible opponent for his farewell fight. Pacquiao, 36, also trimmed down his choices to four names and excluded Juan Manuel Marquez, who recently stated he won't fight Pacquiao again regardless of the money. "We have Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Terrence Crawford or Timothy Bradley (as potential opponents)," Pacquiao told Emirates 24/7. "But I don’t know yet, a lot of names have been given to me by my promoter Bob Arum. We are yet to finalise anything." Recent reports circulated that Pacquiao and his former sparring partner Amir Khan have agreed to fight in April next year. While Pacquiao's camp vehemently denied that a fight has been agreed upon, the Filipino ring icon says he's not closing his door for a possible matchup. advertisement "I’ve not talked to Bob Arum yet, but it’s possible," said Pacquiao, referring to a potential showdown with Khan. "Of course if there is no problem about the negotiation then why not." —JM - See more at: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/543418/sports/boxing/pacquiao-names-4-possible-opponents-for-final-fight-mayweather-not-among-them#sthash.r5po0Aq1.dpuf Damn highly unlikely this fight happens because of arum and haymon. But I would love to see this fight between two top dogs. And it also would be hilarious if danny got the fight over khan. Chances of this fight happening? One in a million?

Interesting. I think Marquez fits the description you laid out. He is also praise worthy!

If danny can't K.O. manny there is no chance in hell he can win, even by a bit. Over the years, manny is the one and only boxer who had truly successfully transformed himself from a one dimensional slugger into a genuine master boxer/puncher; everyone else is susceptible to the so called "You can't teach an old dog with new tricks" dogma; not manny pacquiao, he is truly the only one to break this belief. Listen, if floyd mayweather can't hit this guy in there superfight, man, if manny pacquiao decides, he don't want to get hit, he can't/won't be hit, that's all there is to it. floyd mayweather is the most accurate boxer ever and he can't hit the damn midget, all the while he is coming all over him willing to trade punches at any given time. Over the years we will hear a lot of respect from mayweather to pacquiao. He knows. This final form of manny pacquiao is still a potent offensive machine, enough to mesmerize his opponent while at the same time elusive as a cat, you think you got him, but it turns out you're always just 1-inch short of hitting him and that's gonna happen in all of 12 rounds. Danny Garcia has low work rate, slow and flat footed. I think he will perform better than rios, just because he can box better than rios and is the same sturdy-chinned like rios as well, other than that, he will be left in the ring mesmerized by all the angle-punching pacquiao is going to give him. He will survive another day and take a beating. I'd still rather see him fight pac than Khan

Looked at the previous purses and they seem to be higher on danny side. Damn I always thought khan was big because everyone always talks about him khan made 950k vs devon And danny makes 2x that almost every fight That's what I'm saying man. Garcia gets better ratings and bigger paydays than Khan. Khan dines out on being a huge draw and big star, but he really isn't. On either side of the pond.

But Garcia has made more than Khan if you look at their last 5 fights? He also does better TV ratings. So no, Khan is no damn cash cow. Even though he thinks he is. "All dem indians and pakistanis... it's a market I bring to the taaabl" "But Amir, they hardly even watch your fights, let alone pay for them?" "You kno, with my speed, power, explosiveness, I think we cud at least do gud merchandise in dem countries". Looked at the previous purses and they seem to be higher on danny side.

I think so too but it's kinda a win win situation crawford gets more exposure just getting in the ring with pacquiao rather than not fighting him at all. True that. true that. Also Crawford losing to a well liked Pacquiao wouldn't hurt his young career "that much" IMO. IF Crawford plays his cards right, he may even gain some new fanbase...

Not necessarily true people say khan does quite well in the UK and he has a five million dollar offer to fight brook Danny is also a draw but khan is a international superstar Khan doesn't do well in the UK? He isn't on PPV and has been on BoxNation 4/5 fights with low licensing fees. Yeah he has an offer which he is rejecting for being scared, it's the fight that pulls not Khan or Brook individually.

I kinda think crawford would lose to manny Maybe arum doesn't want to risk crawford I think so too but it's kinda a win win situation crawford gets more exposure just getting in the ring with pacquiao rather than not fighting him at all.

But danny would make millions in this fight. And haymon is willing to sacrifice khan And to be honest khan is like 10x more of a cash cow than damny But Garcia has made more than Khan if you look at their last 5 fights? He also does better TV ratings. So no, Khan is no damn cash cow. Even though he thinks he is.

Lol why are Pacquaio and Roach always bringing up Danny? That fight is never going to happen, perhaps he misunderstood and heard Mikey Garcia.

Garcia deserves it more than crawford or khan but haymon would probably be the problem. I kinda think crawford would lose to manny Maybe arum doesn't want to risk crawford

"Swift" has been slower in his last few fights. I take Pac by decision. He's a little too unpredictable for Danny to time. It takes a guy of Marquez level countering to get that on Pac and it still took several fights for Marquez to actually KO him. danny needs better conditioning imo, look what arizza did to maidana. he could benefit a lot from someone like that. vs peterson he looked slow and heavy.

I voted in a hurry and picked Pacquiao by KO. Thinking it over I think Garcia might go the distance since he has never been knocked down and has a great chin. I still think Pacquiao easily beats him. Garcia is not on even an older Pacquiao level. Garcia is too slow and easy to hit to beat Pacquiao. Garcia is not slow but he is not nearly as fast as Pacquiao.
