    I'd rather watch Pac fight Mikey than Vargas

    I strongly doubt Manny can KO Alvarez but an accumulation of punishment corner retirement isn't out of the question. Cuts stoppage too. He'd be eating a LOT of punches.

    Any 2 of the 3 options would sell the fight though. Manny needs to fight a guy that's favored to beat him or at least has half a chance. People aren't buying Bob's bullsh!t anymore.

    But you know the fanboys from both sides would be saying both guys are getting KTFO. It'll be fun. :good

    The only acceptable smaller opponent is probably Crawford, and even that fight sucks right now. Vargas is a trash fight, Mikey Garcia is a trash fight. Canelo is too big, Cotto now is too big. I want: Brook, JMM, Khan, Thurman, Maidana. If it's 140 I'll take Danny Garcia. Crawford is a last resort (FOTY doesn't mean **** in this case).

    I can't see Pacquiao beating Canelo, I just can't. Maybe I overestimate the size difference? Seeing them side by side and actually fighting; that'll put the reality back in my expectations.

    Idk. And you don't know either. Mosley isn't Canelo isn't Pacquiao isn't Mosley. Get it?

    A top 10 welterweight, please.

    He has only fought TWO top 10 welters in his last SIX fights despite all of them being at welterweight (Marquez IV and Bradley II were the only ones in this 3+ year stretch).

    Considering Pacquiao's options from Top Rank nobody there is worth it

    Hes a hall of fame fighter with a solid legacy only thing hurting him is the fight

    There isn't anyone left that he can beat in a realistic weight division that enhances his legacy unless theres someone he can beat that can go on to do something later that makes the win better

    Isn't that 4 out of 6 fights though? Marquez x2, Bradley x2, and then the duds in Rios and Chris?

    Someone worth a ****, unlike his last three fights. Bradley 1 was his last legit challenge and he passed with flying colors. Of course it would be a top rank fighter, so expect it to be Vargas, to the groans of everyone.

    Manny should move down to 135/140 and the KO will come again. And its easy for him to make the weight
