    What's next for Manny Pacquiao?

    After a very good display tonight against Adrien Broner, who do you guys want to see Pacquiao fight next and what fight makes the most sense for him right now?

    I'd love to see him fight the winner of Errol Spence vs Mikey Garcia. But I think a fight against Keith Thurman for the real WBA belt would be the best fight for Manny right now. On the contrary to a lot of people I wouldn't like to see him fight Terence Crawford because I think it wouldn't be that competitive. Only if Pacquiao and Crawford are the 2 last men standing that I would like to see that fight.

    Shawn Porter is out of question for me against anyone due to his ugly style.

    bring on the killer!! pac is old. he needs to be tested to see if he can still really hang. if not, then call it a day. i want spence, thurman, porter. these guys are known to come to throw. pac hasnt really been into a real fight these past 2 fights. lucas and broner was completely scared to death! bring on the young guns!

      Foght Keith Thurman or DSG, if he beats him, retire, if he loses retire. Retire on a high note.

        Fight Errol Spence/Mikey Garcia winner in June. I'm very confident that Pacquiao will end up like Adonis Stevenson if he fights Spence.

          A fight against Crawford or Garcia would be a million times more entertaining than Thurman for Pacquiao.

            People here keep forgetting that Pacquiao is on PBC and not Top Rank

              Pacquiao's fight night weight was only 149. Broner didn't weigh in on fight night, but we can assume he outweighed Pacquiao. Pac is too small and too old to face the other 147 champs like Spence, Thurman, Crawford, and Porter.

              If Pacquiao can make still make 140 as easy as he and Roach claim, he should move down and make a run against the champs down there.

                Pacquiao should retire while his health is still good.

                  I think its Spence. If Floyd wants the fight its obviously just a matter of him saying he wants it doe.

                  I think Thurman vs Porter is more likely to happen then Spence gets to fight either one of them for some reason.

                  Although I do think Thurman could make a play at fighting Manny that could swipe that fight from Spence. Porter vs Spence could happen then doe.

                  It'll be interesting to see how the Manny Sweepstakes shakes out for the PBC 147lbers. Or if Manny gets another chance to win the Mayweather Sweepstakes.

                  I'm more a Spence fan than any of these other guys so if I was Spence I'd have been calling Al after that 7th round when Manny was basically a lock to win & been pleading my case til Broner was celebrating not getting KO'd I guess. And I'd be engaging Manny on SM trying to build up something for post-Garcia. A Manny W would be huge for Spence & for sure leapfrog him over Thurman on the PBC 147 depth chart.

                    Retirement. Especially if he is serious about politics. He's taken enough shots to the head.
