Thoughts?

I think it'll be an entertaining (while it lasts) fight that is a decent test for Pac coming back from a big KO loss.

Bradley/Marquez looking likely for Sept too.

wonder why though? Everything that happens is Pacquaio's fault. Should he be running out there against aguy like Alvarado? What does it really do for him at this point? As fa or Alvarado, it's like yeah, where do I sign?

Interesting fight. Alvarado's pretty underrated, even after the Rios win and should put up a decent effort here. It's obviously a long way off for now but it'll be nice to have something different like this as well :good

Good fight. They are of the thinking that putting a come forward guy in there plays directly to Pacquaio's strengths. Gets him back in the mix if he beats a guy coming of his best victory. For Alvorado, if he wins, great win on his record even though it ill confirm Pacs shottness and if he loses he can go into a third fight with Rios and is still only lost to an elite boxer.

Anything but another Marquez fight!! Can't complain I guess.
What? The third fight was dull, but he other 3 have been excellent. Thought the 4th was the best of the lot.

Still, I like this fight

Hey, I enjoyed their fights too but I'd rather see them in with new guys at this point!
Yeah I just read your reasoning. I can see totally where you're coming from. But I think Bradley and Alvarado are a step down in class for both (even tho I love both fights). I hope the winners meet

Immediately I thought 'I fancy Pacquiao to win this'.

Depends on how much he has left though, it's been a while since he looked convincingly good.

For me he looked good against bradley who was a prime fighter and he looked convincingly good against marquez ithe 4th fight until that punch happened
I concur but for me he didn't look as good as you'd expect a fighter of his calibre who was still considered at least pound for pound number 2 to look against those guys. Maybe I expected too much of Pacquiao though.
