Pacquiao vs Matthysse

[Batman]

Seems Pacquiao is thinking about having Buboy fat boy training him instead of Roach. That’s a shit idea if I ever heard one.

Ah I heard that he had binned Roach but I thought I had dreamt it.

I'll watch it but I've not got much interest in it, certainly not a fight I'll be staying up until 6am to watch

So Pacquiao sans Roach vs Matthysse......does this strike anyone else as a colossally stupid idea?


Matthysse is no longer a spring chicken but he's dangerous enough for Pacquiao at this point in his career. I mean yeah Matthysse got stopped by Postol who isn't the hardest puncher but still I'm of the opinion Pac should hang up the gloves he's got nothing left to prove and there's very few fights for him where I'm genuinely interested in the outcome...if Matthysse sparks him out cold I wouldn't be shocked by it I wouldn't be shocked if Pac sparks Matthysse either.


Are there any fights out there for Pacquiao that NON-Pacquiao fans would be interested or excited about seeing?

Enjoy Pacman while you can. The first guy to win 4 world titles in the original weight divisions (fly, feather, light, and welterweight). A phenomenal achievement..... watching him batter much bigger guys was truly astonishing. He was the premier fighter in the sport for a while too. Never belittled opponents, never trash talked and always had a smile on his face.

One of the true greats ..... let's hope that it's not a fight to far for him.

No way.

Manny was irresistible over that period and Floyd got so intimidated by Pac Man that he did not fight him.

Who could Pacquiao fight right now that would interest you @Master?

For me, it would have to be one of the Americans like Spence, Thurman, Garcia, or Porter.

I don't think a rematch vs Horn does much for me, it would probably be big again int he Pacific but meh it doesn't excite me. The fight vs Matthysse doesn't excite me either. I wonder if Pac sees a James Toney-esque fall off from not having Roach in his corner.

The Matthysse fight is exciting.

Manny may not be at the level to beat the top welterweights. Horn is his level.
