Re: Pacquiao's best option if no PBF fight?
Manny has to take on new comers, seasoned vets, and the best athletes.
I think Margarito would be the hardest match up for Pacquiao, because Marg's punches are hard, short and crisp. Margarito is TALL at 5'11". Paul Williams is 6'1" (probably a little taller.. they tend to play height down when you're a big guy in this sport at a lower weight)
Martinez is 5'10", but he has freakishly long arms. Plus, he's already stated he staying at MW. Really, he's right there with Y.Forman in reach height.
So my question is... Why was Yuri forman too tall at 5'10" and Marg is not at 5'11". Hate to say it, but obviously, Roach sees something in Marg that Pac could handle. Maybe it was the huge ass whooping Marg took from Sugar Shane? http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...milies/eek.gif
Cotto is a changed fighter after the beating he took from Marg. He is still gun shy. He used to sit on the canvas, get back up and commence the beatings. He never had the skill to fight and not get hit. And he really doesn't like getting hit anymore. Soon as he sets foot in the ring with a big puncher again, I'm pretty sure he'll crumble again. I wish him the best, and I rewatch his fights all the time, but it's time to hang them up.
Tim Bradley is the only real choice. He's in his prime, skilled as hell, and I don't think pac is going to shut him out like he most likely will with all the other guys.
Sorry, but JMM doesn't even get a head turn for me. He's on the decine, pac is leagues above him now. This fight has lost it's meaning after the two wars they waged years ago, now.
