Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Pacquiao Has Many Options at 147 - But Not Mayweather

If Khan loses by decision, maybe? If Khan gets KO'd, No Bueno!

by decision by ko, wont matter. khan's been flat line already against canelo. this wont effect the fight at all since khan will be fighting pac. there is history between them so even if pac gets ko or khan gets ko before they actually fight each other, i believe the fight will still be big.

Lmao Manny not Fighting Spence or Thurman....Yall disappoint me as hardcore boxing fans...The Manny that fought Bradley had a chance vs top 147lbers...but he older now and looking old. He will get hurt....And His handlers aint ******.

Best fights for Manny are guys like DSG... Competitive but not too dangerous.

Lets all stop sipping the cool-aid and not lose perspective on Manny age and last 4 opponents.

Adrien Broner
Jessie Vargas
Lucas Mattysee
Jeff Horn

Its easy to look good vs Clevel 147lbers and natural 140lbers.

Manny will age mid fight vs the likes of Thurman and Spence

I don't believe Pac vs. Khan, if Khan get's KO'd, would be acceptable to Espinoza, especially not a PPV fight! Khan is not even popular in the UK now, because they wanted Khan vs. Brook! If Khan gets KO'd by Bud, it's curtains!

Fight Danny Garcia, Jeff Horn then go in there with Spence

Perfect 3 fight retirement plan

In my opinion he would KO Horn on neutral ground and outpoint Garcia but he would get KOed by Spence who punches a lot harder than Marquez and who I believe is the best welterweight in the world. MAN DOWN!

They dangled than rematch like a carrot to help sell the fight and then after Pacquiao wins in grand style he says no way will Maywether come out of retirement. The big grinning phony never said that BEFORE the Pacquiao vs Broner fight.

[Clubber Pac]

i dont like that either but if he wants to stay around and fight and talk about competing at the highest level then he needs to fight these younger guys or retire then. or be serious and say he's gonna continue fighting but he won't be fighting against any top level guys (not like he's actually come out and say this but still lol) but if he did, i can respect it more.

I agree, put up, or shut up.

I think Thurman is dangerous to Manny based on styles, how quickly he can counterpunch, and his natural punching power, if Thurman is right, he could stop Manny, but Thurman is soft to the body, and that's where Manny could snuff him, either way the fight is a true 50/50, the risk to Manny would be severe.

Manny would paint gloves all over Spence, his come forward style would make for an entertaining fight, but Manny would clip him in an early exchange, and change that fight on the spot.

Danny Garcia is the most dangerous, Manny is made to order for his style, and there is no upside to winning.

Porter meanwhile is a respected champion, limited punching power, comes forward, and is an easy sell to the American public based on his personality and accomplishments, porter also offers the chance to unify the division.

Manny should go for Porter, or Spence/Garcia, stay away from Thurman and Garcia.

He's a promoter. He used everything he can to sell the Broner/manny fight. He knows Manny fans and that hate him can be moved to spend money if they think the fight will lead to a Floyd rematch.

As for Manny, I don't think he is going to fight any prime WW's.

[goldenbear]

Manny needs to be selective he's earned it.....

If I was Manny's team I would fight Garcia and Porter and that's it. Even move down to 140 and pick up a few belts there with less risk. No need to fight Crawford, Spence or Thurman nothing to prove anymore.

but khan's been ko by canelo already. so going by your logic, the fight with brook wont be as big anymore too then.

i still think pac vs khan in the UK does better than khan vs brook in the UK, even if khan gets ko.
