Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Says Shoulder is Completely Healed

[MisanthropicNY]

Just in time to keep his regular fight schedule. What a coincidence!

Actually, if it was Manny's regular fight schedule, he'd be fighting in November (well because of Cotto-Canelo)..they'd push him back to Dec...which they hate doing because of the low De La Hoya-Pac PPV numbers in that month...

Pac is scheduled to fight March-April...him fighting once this year clearly shows that he is not on his regular fight schedule

Pacquiao vs Crawford in December.

[MisanthropicNY]

I hope Crawford doesn't blow it with Dierry Jean! I really want to see Pacquiao vs. Crawford @ 144! Even Pacquiao vs. Matthysse @ 144 is a good fight! Pacquiao will NOT be fighting Khan or Garcia, or any other Haymon fighters, no matter what Arum says. Too bad, because Pacquiao vs. Broner @ 144 would be another good one!

I'd love to see Pac v. Broner, Crawford, Garcia or Khan actually... all good fights...

I doubt it's Broner: Haymon and coming off the loss...

Garcia = Haymon-cherry-picker very doubtful...

Khan = only issue is Haymon, but I've heard Khan's team is negotiating with Arum's team and then Haymon is getting info relayed from Khan's team...

Crawford = obviously the easiest fight to make..not sure Arum wants to serve up Crawford to Pac at this point because Crawford still can milk a few fights before fighting Pac in late 2016 or early 2017..if the fight ever happens...

So he's getting an MRI done in the Phillipines...and then what, faxing the images to another doc in the US?

No, he's going to ship the results on a boat from the Philippines

Go worry about Floyd's low test to epi test ratio and get off this thread before I own you...

If Broner wins his next fight, he'll have a title @ 140. That would be a great set-up for a Pacquiao CW fight @ 144. I actually think Crawford is a better boxer than Broner, but Broner would sell more PPVs. Anyway, it's all wishful thinking, because Haymon and TR will not be working together until Arum is gone. What's your opinion on Roach's desire to fight Garcia instead of Khan?

Garcia is the better fight. Garcia beat Khan first of all. Garcia has shown he can take a punch. Khan will fall as soon as that chin is tapped especially with the speed Manny brings.

Manny vs. Danny would be a great fight I think..actually that's probably the best fight to make..let Crawford develop and let Broner get a win or two and reestablish himself first...

Manny v. Danny right now works.

Actually I'm hearing Danny Garcia v. Khan is next though for Floyd's vacant title...

So perhaps Arum will force Manny in there with Crawford or Lucas/Brook is a possibility and then winners v. winners..

Haymon is still the X-factor though...

Arum saying he's completely healed knows that's setting up for a November more then likely December return with the fight that would happen in April being last of his career, it's clear as day to see but you pacamaniacs always keep your blinders up

You can't own anybody you Pac sucking, low brow **********.

I think Roach wants a "come forward" fighter, and not a boxer-puncher like Khan or Crawford. Lucas is a possibility, but I doubt Brook will be the choice because he's too big. I don't see Garcia happening because for some reason Arum is dead-set against a Garcia fight. Oscar and Haymon were onboard for that before Pac fought Algieri, and Arum said no. Arum recently said no again:

September 16, 2015:

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum says unbeaten former champion Danny Garcia (31-0, 18KOs) is not an option for Manny Pacquiao's comeback fight in early 2016.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach is very much in favor of his fighter taking on Garcia and calls it a "very easy" fight for the Filipino star. Roach has Garcia at the top his hit list.

Arum has other plans for his fighter.

“No, not Danny Garcia,” Arum told the Philippine Star.
