Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Should Think Carefully About Next Opponent

[elfag]

Broner or Khan

those are the only big names that are competitive.

Actually I dont know why khan-broner havent fought yet.

It's becoming a little silly now. Pac should stay away from these guys cause he's 39 ? when all these guys are pushing 30 themselves...

Hard for me to really believe Pac doesn't give any of the top 5 a hard time If he can give Floyd problems

All this he's so far past his prime and doesn't have the blistering speed he once has is BS too he may not throw as many punches but there's no difference in Pacman speed still 1 of if not the fastest hands in boxing.

Pac looked just as good as he did against Cotto at age 31 imo u could say Cotto wasn't at his best much like Matthyese because he came down to 145..

But I mean they act as if Pac was some invisible force in his early 30's I don't see Pac having any better chance at beating the top 5 whether he's 31 or 39 but he might even have a better chance now because he's a lot more patient and a better counter puncher now when before it was just volume punching ftmp

Whats irks me is if you look at Crawford vs Horn and Pac vs Horn Pac had horn just as hurt maybe even more by that ruling Pac should have a stoppage win against Horn too..

Was Horn able to do to Crawford, what he did to Pacquiao? I didn't watch the fight.

The only 2 in that list I can't see Pac beating at this time is Crawford and Spence only because of their size advantage. Possibly Porter, due to his aggressive style(very similar to Horn). None of the name mentioned beats pac "easily ". Who has ever beaten pac easily without going through hell. Pac ain't the same without a doubt, but is definitely still a force in the division.

To those who didn't know. Porter was Pac's sparring partner for a lot of fights. Meaning, he knows Porter very well. And has destroyed porter in sparring so many times. Pac knows how to beat Porter for sure.

Before the Pac vs Matheysse fight nobody has even mentioned that Matheysse is a shoot fighter, but now this haters are trying to discredit Pacquio's wins over Matheysse.

As Pacquiao say, he will be lonely if he quits boxing now....while many are telling him to quit boxing but he himself still not ready to quit the sports,their is only one way to know if Pacquiao still has it in this game is to fight Crawford or Lomachenko at 140.I want Pacquiao to shut the mouth of this haters by beating any of the two top pound for pound fighters then retire.

Crawford or Lomachenko has not fought an opponent with the likes of Pacquiao, so to me it will be a 50/50 fight even if Pacquiao is already 39.

It just shows the insecurity of those who don't want to see what Pac has done. This was more of the difference in levels in skill. Pac is just a superior fighter. That's it.

For the sake of writing about Pac, so goes the author. But seems like his piece is dictated by uglyoldfloyd sr. IMO

2018 - Khan in UK - most $
2019 - Horn in Brisbane - 2nd most $
2019 - Loma at 140lbs - Loma can make 140 later in 2019

Pac-Man ay end up fighting just a Bfighter if he wants to win/continue because if he fights pretty much any of those guys that were mentioned in the article except maybe for Horn. he would lose and by most all of them by TKO except possibly for Thurman as Thurman has changed his strategy and style drastically since his early days... as for the guy that posted no one said that Lucas was shot I posted several times that he was not going to win because just based on his previous fight he looks slow off balance and awkward as if he had nothing left...

[ELPacman]

lol, how many articles are going to come out telling us what we already know? It's obvious a 39-40 year old in a combat sport is not a good look against youthful opposition no matter who he is.

I enjoyed the Lucas fight for what it was. A fight against 2 elders that are both at the tail end of their careers. Lucas obviously more so and just wanted/needed one last big pay day to call it a day. Pac can continue fighting stiffs as he still has a name and with this win in bag, it means more are coming. For all he's done, I don't see why Pac shouldn't be the one picking the fights now and picking ones that are winnable. He's given us PLENTY of fights where the odds were STACKED against him and he's pulled it off. Now let him fight the fights he wants. Nobody is expecting him to be the new unified champ.

BTW - I still give him a great chance against Garcia. But not much against just about any others.
