i think rios is the obvious choice. he's going to have another war with alvarado soon...he'll be that much more diminished and primed for pacquiao to shine against. in house fight. very possible.

other options include...but are not limited to....

bradley- i thought the first fight could have gone either way. i can see bradley beating him more convincingly this time.

khan- they're both on the come back trail and have been ko'd recently. freddie isn't with khan anymore. they can do a loser retires match.

garcia/judah winner- i think garcia is going to ko judah. i think both beat pac at this point.

peterson/matthysse winner- i think matthysse is going to win this one...but i could see either guy beating pac.

malignaggi- paulie will make pac look bad for about 6 or 7 rounds before pac takes over and stops him.

vargas- easy win and obvious choice since he's an in house fighter like rios.

anyone else?

No @ the bolded lol

I think Rios is a good choice for him but coming off his last 2 fights, Pacquiao will need to look excellent to get this win. I don't think Rios is a lock for him to beat. I choose this fight for him because it's exciting and yet still a winnable fight for him. Bam Bam will keep coming for as long as he's in there. This has all the makings of a sensational fight

Pac should stay as far away Lucas as possible. He is a heavy hitter and I know he doesn't want to taste the canvass anytime soon. I life the winner of Peterson vs. Pac. But I would rather see him fight Rios or Broner.

I like this one for Pacquiao too.

[mgrover]

It kinda has to be Judah in that match up since GoldenBoy TopRank etc etc

[mitukczuk]

Ain't that stupid TR vs GB feud a bitch ?! Preventing good matchups since sliced bread...

[flazi]

vargas would be the best match up for paq right now. not much power and very winnable for paq.

Well IMO, Pac should've been opting to fight no other fighter than Bradley. Trying to cop out on that "He's Not a Draw" crap is nothing but a chickensh@t excuse in order to avoid getting owned again by Tim.

If Pac truly believes that he won and won as easily as he believes then he should have no problem settling for a little less cash to gain a chance at putting TB away in an even more domineering fashion (the likes of which JMM did to him).

I can't buy why ppl give Pac a pass simply because they want to argue against the judges decision/disagree with it and it becomes even more strange when they fought Tim at first and didn't cry about him not being a PPV draw but now all of a sudden when the fight is close (in some eyes) and Brad gets the decision then the excuses come out.

Explain this to me someone, please???

How did you score the fight? I think the Bradley fight would be a good one. If anything people give Pac a pass because he was the hero and the hero gets a pass. Manny could do wrong and he at the time was the superior boxer against anyone. A lot Pac fans aren't boxing fans so they had no idea what to look for.

I had TB by 2 rounds, the vast majority wasn't as close as the screaming public would have one to believe but Bradley did all the other things in scoring a fight that MP didn't like clean punching, ring generalship and effective aggression---plus his jab couldn't miss Manny all night.
