Who should Pacquiao fight next?

I mean I would say between Spence, Crawford, Thurman & Garcia...Pac would most likely beat Garcia of that foursome. I still think Garcia would be favored. I just don't think Manny can hang with anyone in their prime in this division anymore. Nothing against Pac, no 40 year old should be hanging with the heart of the division.

I actually read today Marquez said he won't do a 5th fight. Claimed "there was 60 million on the table...but I wouldn't do it for 100 million". That's a bold ass statement lol. If that's the case & Manny doesn't want get stomped out, I see the Horn rematch inevitable.

That's an interesting theory on Roach. He's training some featherweight now. Not really familiar with that division but here; https://fightnews.com/roach-training-new-and-improved-machado/25270

It's stuff like that that makes me hate Marquez.  I'll admit that I'm a Pacquiao fan and want to see that one avenged, even though it was the one definitive win in the whole series.  But he chased and chased Pacquiao and got chance after chance after chance even though he claimed he won every time, yet when the tables turn, he made excuse after excuse.  First it was that he instead wanted a welterweight title (which is why he fought Bradley but then lost anyway so it was all for nothing), then when Pacquiao had it, he didn't want to fight and instead went after Alvarado.  I also remember him saying that it wasn't about the money but that he would do it for $15 million.  Then he later said $20 million.  Then he said he wanted a 50-50 split.  While I doubt that anyone offered him $60 million, all this talk of these numbers is stupid.  If he doesn't want to fight, just say that, but none of this headline-grabbing declination of high hypothetical purses.

Yeah, it just doesn't make too much sense for them to just have ditched him.  I know that Pacquiao wasn't thrilled before about some comments that Roach made about him after the Horn fight, but it wasn't anything too bad or demeaning.  But it's not unreasonable to think that this many years into fighting Parkinson's that it's really, really taking its toll on him physically.  And maybe they just don't want to out him like that.  Plus remember that a lot of Roach's bigger fighters weren't winning that much anymore.

^Na, I definitely feel you on that Roach shit. I guess we'll find out this weekend since he's training Machado.
