or is it maybe that the above mentioned fighters are still young, in their prime and would pose a serious threat to the anointed one? hmmm!
As a fan. I would love that. this would be my preference

Berto and Bradley 2011 and then
Alvarez and maybe Sergio in 2012 if he is up for it.


but Pacquiao is 32 with 57 fights on the record. Other notable retired fighters didnt even have that many fights.

I wont hate him if he chose to have a little break in his next fight.
Saul Alvarez and Erislany Lara are way too green and not known names. Yuri Foreman is a decent point, but he's not as good of an opponent as Tim Bradley.

If PAC beats Saul they'll say Saul is too green, if he destroys Bradley, Bradley is too small even though actually Bradley is slightly bigger than PAC. There's always excuses.
No one who isn't an idiot would say that Bradley was too small for Pacquiao, they'd simply say Pacquiao was too good, which is likely the truth.
Can someone explain why Tim Bradley won't be the most logical opponent (outside PBF) for Pacquiao if he wins in January?

He isn't too green. He's strung quite a few solid wins together. He's proven at 147, he's african american, he's been on HBO a bunch. What is there not to like in him as an opponent?

Pacquiao is maxing out at 147. I don't think he'll fight any more junior middleweights. Of the noteworthy people at 147 or 140, besides Tim Bradley and Amir Khan, there is only Andre Berto.
In all honesty this is the more fair fight for PAC out there somebody close to his weight, maybe with a little tweaking in the promotions Bradley can help sell this fight and not just rely on PAC's name. The only reason I see Arum pushing for the Mosely fight because of 1 obvious reason money. If it was just PAC, he's not scared of anybody it's just not his type of calling somebody out.
