Just me? He's a fun fighter, you put him in with fighters that fight and it's always ace. If his chin isn't cracked which I personally don't think it will be, he'll still dominate at Welterweight. Might lose once or twice though.

Bristol's Darren Hamilton would obviously fuck him up now but yeah, I still think Pacquiao beats everyone else (apart from JMM and Floyd) at 147 or below.

I think a Bradley rematch needs to happen now if he's gonna carry on, not to necessarily right the wrong decision last time out but more to gauge what Pacquiao has left in him.

Pacquiao vs Rios
Marquez vs Bradley

Winners fight.

Pacquiao looked utterly superb on Saturday I thought. He arguably won more rounds against Marquez in that fight than he did in their third encounter. He took an absolute bomb in the 3rd round and recovered straight away, and even after the monster KO, he was back on his feet giving an interview. Insane recovery powers. He still has a lot left and, Floyd aside, I think he could potentially beat everyone from 147 down, including Marquez.

They should put him in with Peterson next, he'll win comfortably and Peterson won't bring him into a war. manny needs a rest from huge fights, none of the elite in and around his division fight big fights as reguarly as Manny does so he should do the same thing if he wants to continue.

Peterson
Marquez 5(if he loses have a retirement fight v Khan in the Philippines)

If he wins:

Bradley
Mayweather blow off

retirement

People these days act like getting knocked out instantly ruins your career. It's not like he's had a 12 round hiding and was stopped in the last round, he looked better than he has in ages until he got flattened.

I'd like to see him get a nice easy warm up fight against someone half decent, and then take on either Bradley, Rios or Marquez again. All are very winnable for Pacquiao but I think he needs a confidence booster against someone first.

And people have got to understand he fought a completely different fight to one he usually would and its not like Marquez hasn't hit him with massive shots when he gets overactive before. I was watching the third fight by accident and didn't click on until like the 4th, 5th round when the action was slow and Emanuel Steward was having a chat. Then I put the fourth fight on and it was a completely different fight. Very fast paced, Pacquiao was chasing him down, and if he's going to do that, he's going to get hit more by Marquez. People weren't saying PEDs about Pacquiao when he flattened Ricky Hatton, they were saying it after his performances against Cotto and Margarito which are completely different performances. Marquez count him with counter punches and he's not feather fisted. JMM can be pretty fucking brutal when he wants to be, actually.
