My take on Pacquiao's radar....

[murmagic]

i really dont no if it will happen anymore, berto will probley go in talks now tbh at 147 hopefully no catchweight is needed for this fight

I didn't discuss about who's going to win or not but Martinez is still within the RADAR me thinks.

The topic is what's on the radar screen of Pacquiao (my humble opinion). I think he would for legacy's sakes.

U may have misunderstood me!!
1.Mosley because Roach has seen his last 2 fights!!
2.Berto because he's thoroughly overrated!!
3.Marquez at 147 because he's completely ineffective at that weight!!

These are the guys I see on his radar!!I didn't really mention who would win,but I'm pretty sure everyone knows!!Martinez is a completely different type of monster,he gets no action!!

Those fights will cement Pacs legacy. If he manage to win all those fights then Pac can surely advance to the top 10 ATG list or maybe be considered as the GOAT. But i dont think most of those match up will happen. Especially the Floyd one.

And if Pacquiao would fulfill 3/4th of that....I would be happy for him. (Ok not for selfish reasons) but at least his career wouldn't be as questioned as much as now.

I completely understand your stance, sir.

It is your wish for it to be that list to prove your point, in a way cynical. But though your list is almost identical on my last batch on my list.

I think that Pacquiao is on a decline physically also and though "ducking" isn't the word for it, Posterity is a better word. Posterity to preserve oneself.

He has been advised to leave early and not take a beating.

But in a Hollywoodesque fight, he would fight them all....selfish for us and the more glorious. But that's not reality though still possible.

It won't be anyone remotely capable of beating him so Martinez is out of the question!!Floyd remains scared so probably not him!!Ahhhhh but Roach has seen Mosley's last 2 fights so there is a strong possibility for him to get his shot finally!!After all a couple years ago Roach said 142 was still too dangerous to take on Mosley!!Berto is also a possibility,the only young prime fighter that team Pacman knows that Pacman whoops rather easily!!Also Marquez at welterweight is completely ineffective so there won't be any worries about the upset!!

Come on, Can you really blame Pac for having shietty WW of this time?

It use to be a hot division with Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, Mosley, Floyd, Berto, Paul Williams,.....

As of now I think he should be in there just for floyd then go back to 140, his natural size because that division is getting hotter and hotter- Bradley, Alexander, Madaina, Khan, Ortiz, Kotelink.

And for 154... just forget about it, Pacquiao doesnt belong there, but I can see anyone fighting him at 150- Pacquiao isnt superhuman, thats just defying logic. I doubt anyone can keep fighting guys with 20lbs, 5+ inch height and reach advantage without getting war torn as the year past by. Lets just be realistic

2 out of 5 guys want OST, If a radar were beeping, I think would be beeping really fast around Mosley, out of all the fighters he would be the less threaghting to PAC.

Floyd is out
Marquez is out
Martinez is out
Berto is out
Mosley is in (is big draw plus Floyd and Sergio just exposed that he's not himself anymore)

Dont get me wrong I would love to see this fight. But I dont think Martinez has the leverage to make Pac go over 150lbs- the only way this fight will happen


Eitherway both fighters should not be fighting as none will not get credited for the win since Martinez is a naturally a 160 and at 150-154 he will be weight drained. If Martinez wins he will be fighting a guy whos 2-3 division lower than him, 20lbs heavier, and 5 inch reach advantage? Do you see people giving him a credit? Thats a total missmatch, even he knows and admits it

Seriously just stop complaining...

3 years is a long time, we will get a variety of fighters from pac

I just don't understand the reasoning behind if Pac beats opponent x (in this case pbf) then he retires instantly. He's finally at the pinnacle of boxing, the main draw. Keep those big money fights rolling in. Pacquiao said himself he has 3 more years and there are a ton of great fights that can be made during that time. Interest in Pac is sparking a revival of boxing. True fans of Boxing should want an atg like Pac to keep fighting as long as he's doing so at a high level.

He said that, 3 years and that's a big window.

But you have to understand that he is gradually shifting his point of views also due to his focus on helping his people as a congressman. He has multitudes of businesses and charitable organization which he foresees PERSONALLY and not just letting somebody running it for him.

It is his obsession to help out the people.

And so if he beats Mayweather resoundingly, what other motivations does he have to fight? NADA.

He was also been advised by his family and doctors to preserve himself before he becomes a "vegetable". We need to understand this psyche from an Asian point of view and specifically his Filipino culture and upbringing deeply seated in "helping others".

One might say it is BS but so far he is getting his own way and almost retired now. He is ready towards new horizons.

All of our postings are speculations but you didn't explain on why they are out.....thus I projected my listing according to the IDEAL and the MOST LIKELY WOULD HAPPEN.

Reality may be somewhere in between but the main keyword is POSSIBILITY.
