    I think that after Pacquiao's next loss (if he does lose), he'll retire. He is still a great fighter and isn't an easy night for anybody!

    I think he'll get past Jeff Horn, but in all honestly the first I heard of Horn was when the Pacquaio fight rumours started.

    Thurman and Brook/Spence winner will be the other title holders @ WW. All great fights and a tough test for both fighters. The Brook Pacquiao fight probably makes the most money out of those and fits in with this theme of Pacquaio touring the world in his final few fights. But then again Manny probably still has the capability to do decent PPV numbers in US

    But then there's also the up-coming Top Rank stars. It would make most sense for Bob Arum to put Pacquiao in with these because if he loses, it should enhance the popularity of another fighter in his stable. Crawford and Loma come to mind, however Crawford is definitely more likely due to the weights.

    Unless I'm forgetting anybody, there aren't really any other fights that make business sense given the current fighters around his weight.

    Or will Pacquiao not lose again and hang up the gloves when he feels ready to do so?

    I agree if he does have a loss he will retire.

    If Bob Arum keeps it in house, i think Loma jumping in weight would be a good way to get his name known, he is such an amazing talent and beating Pac the way he fights would make him huge i think.

    If he does tour, a UK fight against Brook (should he get past Spence) would do huge numbers i reckon, however its another one that i fancy Pac to lose at this stage in his career.

    Would love to see him beat the brakes off Khan though first before he fights someone like Loma/Brook.

    Lomachenko or Crawford is my guess. Arum will want Pacquiao to lose to someone he promotes so that guy gets a boost.

    Crawford would get retired by Pacquiao. He's not on Pac's level.

    He could be a great fighter, but he hasn't fought anyone of note so it's all guesswork.

    The only fighter we know with certainty that would embrasss Pacquaio without question is Lomachenko who has the speed and intelligence to embrass a prime manny let alone an aging shot one.

    Welter would be too much for Loma against a world class operator I think. Hes quality but I don't think Pac would respect his power and would ud him or stop him late even at this stage of his career. Crawfords stronger and poses a serious threat to pac now. Its him for me that'll retire pac

    It depends on who Arum wants to push more, if he wants Loma to get the Pacquio push he'll set the fight up in a couple years at 135-138lbs

    Crawford was almost out on his feet after a short hook from Gamboa, who's like 7 inches tall (my dick is bigger than Gamboa).

    Pac might just ice Terence.

    Is there anything unclear to you about what I just said? If so I will reiterate that Crawford would get retired by this current version of Manny. Completely and utterly banged out and absolutely flattened and there isn't anything Crawford would be to do about it.
