Comments Thread For: Arum Adds Matthysse, Marquez To Pacquiao Fight List

[aboutfkntime]

According to veteran promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, former world champion Manny Pacquiao has given him a time frame for his return to the ring after his May 2nd loss to Floyd Mayweather and his subsequent surgery on his right shoulder.

So we got Khan, Brook, Crawford, Matthyse, Marquez.

Personally, I dont think that Pac will fight Brook, Crawford, or Khan.

The first 3 options that Arum gave yesterday, are all very unlikely imo.

I think Matthyse could get that fight.

i actually like the list of potential fights i just wonder if its even a realistic list or a typical pointless list where the real list is the top rank fighter crawford

I will never listen to a thing Bob Arum says.

Whenever he makes a comment, the first thing that goes through my mind is..... why do you need me to believe that today?

I'm all aboard with the Pacquiao boycott of the entire testing process in protest of the injustice he believes he's suffered.

From now on Manny should dictate whether or what kind of testing should be used for his own fight.

I don't believe for a sec he would put him up vs Lucas. He won't even let Bradley fight Ali lol why would he do this favor for Oscar

Of the 5 potential opponents..... 3 are more dangerous than Matthyse imho.

In fact, I think all 4 of them are more dangerous than Matthyse.

Matthyse would be perfect for Pac.

Matthysse vs pac

Marquez will reject Pacquiao. That chapter is now closed.

Lets all hope he does.. i have a bad feeling Marquez is at the top of the list, and they really want that 5th fight BAD!

[Zaroku]

seriously marquez? what is he now like 55?

Marquez is old, and has bad knees, he should hang it up before he gets hurt.

He should put Paulie in a coma then fight Marquez for his retirement fight. Would be a fitting end to his career. That's an epic match up full of classic fights.

Paulie as a come back fight and fight Marquez in Mexico for their last fight. Estadio Azteca would sell out on the quickness and it would be a huge event that would match Frochs 80,000 people at wembleys stadium event

Manny should fight Paulie.

I have the same feelings towards this. Reminds me of an article that came on bscene in may or june where Brook said he was eyeing "Pacquiao, Thurman, or Rios" and everyone was like "yep this means Rios".

Lets all hope he does.. i have a bad feeling Marquez is at the top of the list, and they really want that 5th fight BAD!

Before Mayweather, Marquez IV was the last fight Manny had that topped 1million buys. I'm sure the team wants that kind of commercial success and that Manny himself would love to get another whack at him. So yeah, I'm sure they do want this fight badly.

Manny should fight Paulie.

Ya know if he had beaten Garcia I think he may have gotten that fight.
