Yeah...what terrible company, Postol leftovers. Corley, Aydin, Lundy... :roll: A number of good contenders have losses to Postol at this point, and Ring places him at #1 @ 140lb. Matthysse is by far the best of his "leftovers" and is still a viable option for Pac (and more a risk to land a big game-changer than Crawford) April is far enough away, besides, that Matthysse can easily slip in a rebound tuneup late this year or early next so as to not be coming directly off the loss.
Danny Garcia would be a much better opponent for Pacquiao if they manage to get that in and dissolve the war between Haymon/Bob. Postol would be good, Crawford would be good, Brook, Khan are all very good Matthysse would be DECENT as a substitute, 2nd tier.
I see Danny Garcia clipping him with a left hook and could knock Pac out. Danny is better than Matthysse in almost all facets of the game. Danny would win more rounds imo And beating Garcia would do so much more for Pac's resume than Matthysse would.
Brook would do two things Mayweather couldn't do: 1. Beat Pacquiao without PEDs 2. Shatter Pacquiao's glass chin :deal
