    Risk is part of it, no question.

    Why not Pac vs 100 in 1 night?

    So nobody would complain.

    yep beating the top 2 jr welterweight would be nice. It's too bad bradley had to let his WBc belt go. It would have been nice for pac to win 2 title belt at 140 assuming he beat bradley which i think he would. Plus it would put a stop on all these talk about pacquiao not facing any black fighters. :D

    Pac is as close to protected when it comes to draw power as it gets. Even if he loses to someone deemed by the public as "a nobody", his crowd won't disappear.

    I still think it'll be a relative no hoper from inside Top Rank at 140-147.

    If Urango beats Berto, Arum should make the fight as fast possible.

    If not then Pac vs. Valero will be great.

    They should call up Victor Ortiz.

    I doubt the ortiz camp would accept this fight right now. I think they would say he is not ready for pacquiao.

    If they want a tune up, Roach would probably take Valero out. So everyone could STFU. I heard Roach reads Pacland time to time.

    Bring on Valero so he can get starched properly.

    I doubt Arum would throw Valero to Pac anytime soon. Not that it isn't POSSIBLE of course but I figure potentially ruining a potential cash cow like Valero this early isn't in Bob Arum's immediate plans.

    Unless he thinks Valero is THAT good of course.

    yea i would like to see that too but pac doesn't gain anything cuz valero has no title belt at 140 lbs. Plus bradley is a much better boxer and can help pac get ready for mayweather.

    Valero like hatton is just another brawler who would get KTFO.

    There are a ton of obvious answers, Soto is at the top of the list for me, he deserves it. Would love to see a Valero matchup but that isn't going to happen.

    Valero Valero Valero, get some young undefeated guy in Mannys resume. This will stop all the complaints of not fighting a prime young fighter, then Floyd next
