    Wembley is an outdoor arena with no roof. Do you have any idea how cold it would be in Dec?

    Scrap Broner, I was only bring his name up because he is offered the fight along Garcia. I was thinking more of Garcia. It is consensual that the best welter are spence thurman and brook, with brook being the man before being butchered by GGG. Garcia is scheduled to fight thurman, a fight in my eyes he has 50% chance of winning. And pac has no problem facing Garcia. I think you might overate brook chances here a little. Plus you are dead set wrong to say that a pac brook fight is high risk low reward. The fight in England will sell through the roof.

    I think pacquiao should just pick an opponent with a bad chin knock him out and retire

    Extremely ambitious, he's only wanting to fight 2-3 more times before calling it a day. I like your schedule though.

    he deserves some easy touches. Going on the road to fight wouldn't be such a bad thing, i dont think any hardcore is blind enough to see he is winding down.
    some poorer countires where fans can offord to see him fight. that would be a wish tho

    Is Roy Jones Jr his new manager or something?

    It would be sad to see Manny leave the sport as some kind of circus act, with losses to boxers not fit to lace his gloves...

    Well he picked a green fighter in Horn to fight next, so I think it's close enough there zodi! Horn is going to get pummeled into submission and we might even see him get hatton'd...:deal:

    I hate to see him doing this at the end of his career but he has to because of money issues.

    Not sure how may of these he can beat now, though. You can take from the list Brook, Danny Garcia and Crawford for that reason. Porter in late 2018 might be too much for him too by then. Remember each of these fights puts miles on the clock. And that clock is ticking already....

    He could end up with double digit loses by the time he retires if he doesn't step away from boxing in the next two years....
