    And rightfully so, but choosing Jeff Horn makes the Berto fight look like FOTY material.

    Why isn't Manny fighting Porter, or Garcia, or asking Bud to move up.

    Matthysse is ranked in the WBO, why not Lucas?

    This is nuts, but I hope Pac gets a decent payday anyway.

    If you are one of those folks who criticize other fighters for taking easy fights, you should be panning the Horn fight.
    PACs not fighting to prove he's the best now so he can fight who he wants. PAC had to beat bradfley to get a Floyd fight. But PAC isn't considered the best now so what's wrong weiuth hoirn?
    Floyd shouldn't be fighting g berto if Floyd is considered the best. Why isn't Floyd fighting toughest opponents available to proive he's the best?

      Pacquiao has a belt. He needs to fight these top welterweights

Manny really only became a true SUPERstar because he was supposed to be the Floyd killing knight for all those who hate Floyd. When he lost that, he lost his true SUPERstar fame.
          Cut it out mate. Manny is a superstar without floyd

              I didnt criticize Mayweather for the Berto fight, it was supposed to be a retirement fight. He didnt need to fight a tough challenge.

              I also dont complain too much about Pacquiao. His last two fights were against Bradley, who was at the time p4p, if i'm not mistaken and Jessie Vargas, who was top10 at 147, even if he was an easy shot at a title.
              I would only start complaining if the fight after Horn will be against someone like Sam Eggington.

              Realistically, because Bob Arum doesnt like to let his fighters fight against other promoted boxers, he should fight Crawford or Lomachenko next.

                I think the plan is to get by Horn and then fight Crawford in Nov/Dec. Maybe that's not what he wants, but if Bob demands it, it will happen.

                    Boxing star and SUPERstar are two different levels of fame. Ward, Lomo and GGG are Boxing stars, not SUPERSTARS. SUPERstars are talked about on mainstream TV (In America). Manny is no longer talked about on mainstream TV(In America), he is at the Ward level now.
