    I know, right? Dude is draining himself all the way down to 140 to fight Jessie Vargas, Humberto Soto, and Cesar Rene Cuenca, with possible mega fights against Ruslan Provodnikov/Jose Luis Castillo winner. And they still don't give him any credit. But what do you expect from these haters? They hated on Pac when he fought Marg, Mosley, and the third Marquez fight, they called him a cherrypicker.

    I think they're nervous for Provodnikov losing to Castillo, and then Arum making Pacquiao vs Castillo, and beats him worse than Mayweather did.

          From 140 to 154, Vargas is the second best fighter, clearly. But like always, once Pacquiao beats him, there will be something wrong with Vargas like "He can't punch" "He was in the lower tier of the top 10 at JWW" "Should have lost to Lopez and Khabib". Bunch of BS will come out, anything to discredit Pac!

              If Manny goes down own for a Danny Garcia fight then I'm cool with it.
              The problem is every damn fight is PPV. I wouldn't even care if he fought any champion if it were on regular HBO.
              Floyd had Canelo and Manny had Bradley and Marquez. Besides those fights, there's nothing competitive about these match ups.
              I'd like to see Tim vs Floyd and Manny vs Brook,Thurman...
              Never happen unfortunately

                Haymon fighters are scared to death of Pacquiao. Once he had the ring leader, Mayweather, shaking in his Reebok boots, the rest followed suit and will try to avoid Pac like the Bubonic Plague. We have to settle for the #2s and #3s of the world, like Vargas, Postol, Lundy. If we get lucky, Crawford and M. Garcia man up and fight Pac in a super fight.

                    Well I think the point was that Pac hasn't fought a legit contender at welter weight, especially recently. As a matter of fact the only WW contender on that list is Cotto. Let's take a look at your list. De La Hoya, drained hadn't fought at WW for 7 years, Cotto you don't think he was drained that's fine, but let's take a look at facts, it was already well known that Cotto was struggling to make 147, what do you think would happen if he tried to make 145? (I still give Pac props for this win). Clottey coming off a loss and wasn't considered a major contender at WW, Mosley old and coming off a draw on espn, and Margaritto at a catch weight coming off a 1 year lay off and a fight where reports were he had some trouble with a cab driver. Bradley 1st fight coming up from jr welter weight, and also what legit full weight Welter Weight contender has Bradley fought? I struggle to see how Bradley is considered a full WW when he himself has yet to fight a real WW.

                    Marquez, rios, Algiery, so yes Pac has fought mostly jr welter weights recently. And you have to include Bradley because he has yet to fight a Welter Weight himself.

                      doesn't pacquaio offered maidana the pac fight after floyd-maidana 1. and espinoza twittered that there are negotiation between floyd and pac 3 months ago. floyd and maidana are the two most credible opponent four months ago.
                      i just thinks its weird that after going after floyd and maidana then they'll make the vargas fight. its illogical they'll make the vargas fight. i think its garcia next.
