    Probably, but straight rights are the southpaw killer and Matthysse has a really nice one. (and remember, #48 still has fissures in his chin from KTFO6)

    Plus neither of them will have to look for the other.

    Pac is faster, obviously (and that will trouble Matthysse) but he is predictable with his in and out movement. All it takes is one perfectly timed RH...

    Lucas will always have a pucher's chance but I don't think he has the fight left in him anymore. He needs to bow out now before he ends up getting hurt.

    I've never wanted to see this fight because I like Matthysse and I've always thought he'd lose it. But at this point after the Postol stoppage, who cares he's got nothing to lose, it would be a good fight and maybe Lucas would go in guns blazing and make it interesting, but I still think he'd lose by UD.

    Pac should retire. He's done enough for the sport. No reason to take on a guy like this.

    The opponent is still up in the air (could be Matthysse, could be Crawford, with an outside chance of another rehash with Bradley or Marquez, or a Mayweather rematch) but the date is now set. April 9th, PPV, and this will, per Arum, be Pacquiao's last dance...whoever the partner ends up being.

    I don't think April 9th is set. Pacquiao said no later than that date

    No, the date is set. It has been reported widely enough by enough of the mainstream boxing media (ESPN, Lampley saying it on air...pretty sure it originated directly from Arum, too) to be all but official.

    The added incentive of being the last person to get a piece of the pie (with the Mayweather sweepstakes over and the Pac sweepstakes drawing to a close with this April date) raises the stakes even more for all those in the running. Whoever gets left out in the cold is well & truly screwed, as there won't be a "next time". You're the April man, or you're nothing. This makes the speculation about whom it shall be all the more intriguing, as there are multiple angles to consider from a fan's perspective: 1) who deserves the payday the most? 2) Who makes the most tantalizing match-up in terms of entertainment? 3) Who draws the most, financially, based on name value? 4) Who is Pacquiao's team going to view as riskiest, and how much will that factor into the decision as opposed to consideration 3?

    I think it will be Crawford, and that Crawford will win a "Pac-Bradley I" type of decision, if he doesn't win outright (or get stopped).

    See the top article on The Ring website or story of day on scene. Both say from either March or April but no later than April 9th. Even though it will probably end up being that date, it's not set yet

    My thoughts as well.

    Crawford should be able to build up a lead confounding Pacquiao with his switching and versatility by the halfway or two-thirds point...from there it'll just be a matter of not blowing it at crunch time (like the stupid Jets did just now :twisted:. I'm going to have to hear about this from all the stupid NE fans all week...)

    Die hard Pac supporters will of course feel he was robbed no matter what transpires.
