Another hand picked faded slow flat footed opponent. Why the surprise? Crawford or Spence even Garcia a better choice than Matthysse.

Actually I just wasn’t aware how bad Matthysse got, I expected more from him.

Not sure if you saw Matthysse's last fight, he looked terrible before the Thai decided fold.

Arum does this crap all the time and the gullible fans fall for it hook line and sinker...expect a big money match between Pac and Crawford to keep the money in house in a couple of years..Pac will go dormant for 18 months with political work or injuries and bring him out when necessary.

In the next few days expect from the fans:-

1. Roach was holding Pac back from knockouts.
2. Mayweather would never fight Manny now.
3. No one has ever done this to Matthysse.
4. Pac to fight the Garcia vs Porter winner.
5. He was so fast and the power would be too much for any welterweight.

What you won’t expect:-

1. Let’s fight Spence next.
2. Let’s fight Crawford next.
3. Let’s fight Canelo next at a catchweight.

In all honesty, I’m happy that Pac can still pull the trigger against a faded fighter that Garcia exposed many years ago and he did beat horn imo..let’s just hope he fights a prime fighter before 2019 so the losses of Mayweather and Marquez is not so stained in the hardcore fans mind..

Did we mention Khan?

This one they won't have to. I'm sure Pac's victory already caught Canelo's eye, and they'll be looking to bring Pac up to a 157-pound catchweight.

You heard it here first. ;)

Re: Pacquiao vs Matthysse

Manny is 39 years old. We may not be able to see another fighter like him in our lifetime. Can we not simply enjoy his fights? Rather than degrading his win over matthyse, why cant many "boxing analysts" here just appreciate what he is doing for boxing. The canelo fight and other speculative fights will happen if it manny's destiny. Peace to all. 😊😊😊

I still consider Pac a top welter, I thought he beat Horn and thought he would defeat Matthysse with ease. But lets be realistic, Matthysse was already shot before his comeback.

Personally I'd like to see Manny retire on a high, with his 60th victory and winning a 'title'. Doubt that happens tho, he still has a lot of people around him with their hands out.

The best fight for him if he continues, in my opinion is Khan.

I respect your opinion but I believe that the best fight for him now are fights with title belts. He must be making records that will be difficult to surpass. 😊😊😊😊

Re: Pacquiao vs Matthysse

Pacquiao is surprisingly good for his age. He isn’t as great as he once was, but he is easily a top 10 welter and maybe a top 5. I wouldn’t be surprised whatsoever if Pacquiao fights Crawford next. This fight seems like it has been talked about for a few years. I think the time is now. Arum needs to get Crawford that win over Pacquiao to make him the next cash cow.

Arum is no longer the promoter of pacquaio. 😊😊😊😊

Thankfully.

I think I mentioned earlier that the fight I'd like to see is Pac vs Mikey at 140. Loma won't go to 140 apparently, but we have already seen Mikey at the weight.

I think both Spence and Crawford stop Pac at this stage.

Maybe Thurman after his tune up (if that ever happens). Khan is a very winnable fight for Pac and also makes him some decent coin.

Re: Pacquiao vs Matthysse

I've only seen some short clips but looked like Manny was bulked up a bit especially in shoulders. As long as he has a semi quick turnaround it'll be interesting to see what they have in mind for next fight. Still don't want to see Crawford though.

If he'd beaten Horn he would have been fighting Crawford next. I bet Arum offers him that exact two fight package.

Manny doesn’t want to fight Crawford. In his head or in reality. It would be ugly for Manny

Yea he should stay away from Crawford and Spence.

Rematch Horn, fight Khan, a Vargas rematch, hell I think he still beats Broner at this stage.
