Shortlist For Manny Pacquiao's Next Opponent Per Bob Arum

[dibzvincent143]

Pac-amir is a good fight to ride into the sunset. Pac aint got the championship mindset anymore, let alone his physical gifts. This fight has a good story (former stable mate's, floyd ducking khan; aint true but media wud suck anyway.. Etc) business wise this would sell. And i hate amir and would love pac to go out with somehow a ****. Its over champ.

I highly doubt he retires if he wins, unless you're talking about Lucas taking a pay out....

I was talking about Matthysse yeah. Pacquiao wouldn't retire unless Matthysse brutally knocked him out.

No one cares, Pacquiao isn't a WW, Pacquiao will come in anywhere between 143-145, Matthysse around the same, on fight night they'll weigh about the same again, no height/reach advantage for either guy. No problems. Matthysse is more proven and much more dangerous than the others so quit whining.

Matthysse spoke of his desire to move up to 147 next year anyway. Lucas came in at 151 vs Ruslan and 157 vs Molina and Ortiz so he certainly can make the weight, his height and frame is the concern against bigger guys.
