      All good choices, but I'd like to see him fight Amir Khan the most. Just would be an exciting fight. Crawford I think needs to fight a few bigger names first before fighting Pacquiao, as well as moving up to 147. Brook would be my least favorite of the 4 fights, I just don't care about him really. Matthysse would be a good fight, but he's never fought at 147 yet. Would rather see Pacquiao fight guys that are already in his weight class.

        if those two are options then every haymon fighter is also an option,yet he publicly (arum) stated that danny is not an option because hes with haymon

        **** dont make no sense

        and its not every single day you see a guy sueing the other for 100 million in damages doing work with said guy
        Brook is not Haymon.

            Pac is not that good anymore, but Brook is a better choice since Khan has been beat up many times. Jimmy Kimmel was right, the great boxer Pac was before he changed his religion. He can't even win against Brook.

              Pac - Matty is a great fight. I've wanted that fight for a while.

                  Amir Khan is the one I'd most want to see, but I'd watch any of them.

                  I consider Pac a favorite in all of them.

                    religion? LMAO

                    more like 60-70 fights and being 36 soon 37 yrs. old.

                    technical boxers age well. guys like pac burn out early. credit to him for still being competitive.

                      Matthysse - not happening, the TR & GBP truce is a sham, while not enemies any longer they aren't exactly teaming up often either & there is no way Arum is putting Manny in with Lucas who has some chance at KOing an older ring worn Manny with his insane power, last thing Arum wants to do is build up a GBP guy from his biggest name

                      Brook - not happening, suspect there is more chance seeing Brook trying to fight Manny or Floyd leftovers (Berto or Algieri or Rios) next than Manny himself, they are moving Brook slowly & I suspect he won't be in a threatening fight til late next year at the pace their moving

                      Crawford - I think this is the fight Arum wants to attempt to build up Crawford as the next star of the TR stable, I suspect this could be the fight cuz I feel like Koncz is an inside man for Arum who has Manny's ear & could point him towards this fight, not sure this is a great decision to try to build up Crawford now as I like Manny's chances & I think ideally they wanna wait another 6-12 months before trying out Manny

                      Khan - this seems like the go to fight for me, 1)he's fighting a guy many are saying Floyd is scared of so its another lil jab towards Floyd as he's exiting the sport & 2)I think this is an extremely winnable fight that could look similar to the Algieri fight except with the KO happening
