Arums already playing up that if Pacquiao beats Bradley and doesnt retire, thats its very possible that Canelo-Pacquiao happens.
I think if this fight happens, clearly from a revenue and ppv viewership standpoint, that this fight would be made over Canelo-GGG obviously.

I would love to see Canelo absolutely pulverize Pacquiao. Manny would be a complete moron to try this.
 
Am I crazy thinking that Khan gives Canelo more problems than Pac?

I think Canelo beats both fighters to be clear.

No. I think if Khan gives some trouble to Canelo, itll play better for Canelo-Pacquiao to actually happen.
If Khan gets mauled, which is very possible, I think Pacquiao either retires or entertains a fight with Crawford.
 
Canelo would walk through Pac right now.
 
nope

a few years ago, I could see Pac taking it, not now.

He would not be a moron for thinking he might be able to beat Canelo, but he might be a true moron in about 10 years if he decides it's time to be a 5'5 middleweight at age 37.

When has the guy taken enough abuse? I stood right next to him last week, he is tiny. Smaller than most people realize. There is no reason for him to fight middleweights at this age, regardless of how talented he is.
 
Assuming Pac beats Bradley and doesn't retire, I'd like to see him try to clean up WW a bit. I'd like to see a Brook match most and then a Thurman fight. I think the bounceback would be good for his legacy. It'd be nice to see a four man tournament between them, that would likely establish a new WW lineal title.

I think arum is on crack. Canelo has the skills and power to hurt pacquiao. I would pick Canelo by late round stoppage.

Pac and Swift imo
 
Pac and Swift imo
that'd be cool too, but IMO swift hasn't done enough at WW yet to be quite as prolific as the other four. (Granted, this is assuming Thurman beats Porter).

Dont think any of the younger guys stands out over the rest.

Khan vs Canelo is a better fight than fans are pretending it is. People just hoped he'd fight Golovkin instead, so they're shitting on this fight.

Yeah I've said in numerous threads it's gonna be a good fight with people spitting on it. I've been excited from the announcement.

I think the Khan fight will/would be immeasurabely more entertaining and interesting stylistically than the Pac fight. Maybe a few years ago Pac could do something but I don't see it being very watchable.
 
If Canelo has to drain to 147 like Oscar did then yeah Pac might have a shot at winning a decision. That would be the weight cut beating Canelo before the bell even rings. Luckily for Canelo he is too smart to drain himself again and would rather drain his opponents.

No it's not.
