Shortlist For Manny Pacquiao's Next Opponent Per Bob Arum
In a recent interview with Radio Raheem (not the boxing scene wannabe), Bob Arum said the four guys being considered are:
-Amir Khan - (Despite having an agreement with Haymon, Khan has full control of his own matchmaking and could work with Arum to make the fight, Arum said he's negotiating with Khan's people and not Haymon and stated there is no problem)
-Kell Brook - (Matchroom fighter so no problem working with Arum)
-Terence Crawford - (TR fighter so no problem)
-Lucas Matthysse - (GoldenBoy fighter so fight relatively easy to make)
-* Also Potentially Juan Manuel Marquez again if he returns and is willing to a rematch (which he has refused since his win over Pacquiao)

Good to see Pacquiao will be going into a challenging fight straight away.
Out of those four who would you like to see Manny Pacquiao fight nexf? Personally I'd like to see the Matthysse fight, I believe Pacquiao is still the second best WW in the world and losing to Mayweather is hardly a damaging loss physically or in perception as Floyd is #1. Floyd stated afterte fight he could see why Manny is so great and "He sets traps for everyone but me", also stated that Manny possessed "good pop" in his punches. All comes down to what he has left.
Now with Mayweather expectedly vacating, the WBA and WBC belts are up for grabs so the 147 scene should be very interesting.
