    .“A younger brawler against Pacquiao I think would be a fight everybody in boxing and people beyond boxing would like to see,

    I've been saying for a while, that Pacquiao needs a fighter who will come to him and fight him. But it’s also the kind of young, tough guy who you might not want to see in your face all night long. You don’t get the answers until you see the fight, I’ll just leave it at that. I think he’d be a great opponent for Pacquiao and vice versa.”

    Merchant should shut the **** up

    Pac should rematch Bradley to prove once and for all that he can beat a slick black american

    I love how not fighting the best available has now become not only acceptable by media and fans... but encouraged.

    Bradley and Matthysse are both way ahead of rios in terms of who should be getting a shot at pac.

    Hype machine in action already?

    He's the right one to make Pacquiao look good for the first time in years, yes.

    This is sad. So many other boxers have earned the right to fight for the title yet Arum, Pac and journalists like Merchant feel it best to give to someone undeserving.

    If I was a boxer, I'd feel sick to be honest with you.

    This is a great fight if you want to put an end to Rios' exciting fights, because his career will never be the same after the pounding he'll take. One fight at 140 and now he's ready to fight top competitors at 147? Hehe, did I mention that Merchant's never boxed a minute in his life? Only watched :]

    Wow Larry doesn't like Rios. Manny would put a career ending beating on this type of fighter. Manny vs Canelo would be good though.

    What merchant means is pac will look like superman again and he will be able to ride his dick once more.

    Well, Pac isn't a title holder any more and still won't be IF he beats JMM in his next fight.

    If Rios were just a bit better then he'd give Manny a good challenge and test his age.
