    Recently Bob Arum and Freddie Roach have been including GGG to Manny's list of possible fights. Somewhere along the line I read that it was said in jokeful kinda way, but not to sure what to believe.
    Maybe Pacquiao has the credentials to possibly win by boxing him out, but out of all the hype GGG has been getting, personally I don't think his power should be underestimated at all.
    I just don't see why a GGG fight would be a good way to end his career.
    I think it would possibly end up being another JMM vs MP 4 all over again, possibly worse.

    Apparently Bob Arum said it was a joke all along. If it was upto Manny I think he'd probably take the fight, because he's a great fighter!

    It is a joke,GGG kills Pac.Fight would not be good for Manny's health, Roach would not let it happen.

    Honestly hoping it's a joke, but rumors spread like a fire and many people are going to unnecessarily hype it up, which will have Pacquiao getting criticized for a joke. Too crazy of an idea to even consider that fight

    There was a thread on here about it a few days ago by some troll. You can find it if you search the thread pages.

    It's a joke to me but PAC played that joke before though.

    I remember when Pacquiao moving up to welterweight was laughed at as a absolute joke.
    Most people on this forum said De La Hoya would kill him and Arum was mercilessly cashing Pacquiao in.

    IIRC he said he would never put Manny in the ring with GGG, the size is too much.
