MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao could possibly be bent on retirement, but that isn’t stopping promoter Bob Arum from speculating about future fights.
Arum says he’d need to see the winner of Pacquiao’s upcoming third fight with Tim Bradley Jr face Jessie Vargas, the newly crowned WBO welterweight titleholder. Vargas, 26, of Las Vegas won the title Bradley vacated to handle Pacquiao, knocking out previously unbeaten US Olympian Sadam Ali in 9 rounds earlier this weekend.
“It's just as much as the winner on the fight yet it is definitely the ideal I want to make, Vargas vs the winner of Pacquiao vs Bradley,” Arum tells BoxingScene.
Arum has become cautious from the promotion using this type of fight about calling it Pacquiao’s last, as retirements rarely stick in boxing.
Arum also threw cold water on Terence Crawford, the unbeaten junior welterweight champion, facing the winner, saying he'd other "other paths" to the 28-year-old.
The 26-year-old Vargas (27-1, 10 knockouts) scored his first knockout in 5 years, dropping Ali twice from the HBO-televised fight. Vargas’ only defeat arrived June with this past year, when he was outpointed by Bradley for your interim WBO title.
Vargas hurt Bradley using a left hook from the dying seconds on the twelfth round but didn't stop him ahead of the bell rang. Vargas said following your Ali fight he wants a rematch with Bradley, whether he beats Pacquiao.
“I only want one fight which I should get, a rematch with Bradley. I don’t care if he beats Pacquiao or otherwise not, I want Bradley.”
