so floyd shouldnt have any reasons not to fight him next then right?

Khan says he can't fight in September for religious reasons. If not, I think Floyd would definitely fight him next.

First things first, Floyd has to name an opponent for September and Khan needs an opponent for the winter of 2014. I would think that if Manny wants a big PPV, he would fight Khan first, because if Floyd beats him, no one will want to see Khan fight Manny as much as they would right now. It could be big for Manny, especially after his last few PPV events. Khan could be just what the doctor ordered.

I was only suggesting a legit WW opponent for Manny other than Chris Algeri or Danny Garcia. Wasn't trying to start a Floyd vs. Manny thing.

Roach is correct. Even this faded version of Pac is worlds better than Provo. But, Provo isn't very good. Seems like everyone is down on Pac-Algeri, and I don't know why.I'm not sold on Algeri having elite or even a top level skill set. But there's no reason not to let him try. He would tower over Manny. He would also be a moving target. And Manny no longer has the wheels or the relentlessness to go three minutes a round. If Algeri finds a home for that jab early and often, Manny may have his hands full. I remember when Pac was on his lil fake "giant killer" run. Roach didn't want to fight Yuri Foreman because of his height and style.

Roach doesn't dismiss the idea of Pacquiao facing Algieri (20-0, 8 KO), but said after the fight that he thinks Algieri should give Provodnikov a rematch first, and if he wins, then maybe take on Manny.




From ******.com:


"I'd rather like to see him fight a rematch first, and if he won it, and he won the fight clearly, then I think that he might deserve a fight like that," said Roach. "Yeah. For Pacquiao, there's not a lot of opponents out there right now."

Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO) beat Tim Bradley in a rematch on April 12 to reclaim the WBO welterweight title, and there aren't many really attractive options out there for him, as Roach said. The leading candidate to face Manny next is Juan Manuel Marquez, who beat Mike Alvarado in what was figured to be something of an eliminator for a Pacquiao fight later this year, but it's still unknown if Marquez wants that fight, or if he'd still prefer to leave that saga completed, in his mind, with his 2012 KO of Manny.

Manny would absolutely Analyze chris..

Pac would DESTROY that kid....Provo beat him imo but the judges didn't have a chance to watch the fight multiple times before scoring it!!....Provo should still be the WBO champ imo.....hats off to Chris though, he fought through adversity....seems like a nice guy and all that but Provo won that fight IMO....still think dude(Provo) is way overrated on here but he landed enough big shots and controlled the ring enough to get the decision...thats how I saw it!!

Exactly who the f.uck is Roach to be telling Algeri what he needs to be doing?

Do you think Andrade could make a catchweight to fight Manny? He doesn't look that big. I think he could make 150-152 for the right price.
