Top Rank chief Bob Arum says they are looking at 3 names as possible opponents for Manny Pacquiao:

Terence Crawford, Danny Garcia, and Jessie Vargas.

Would prefer Crawford or Garcia. I'd like to see Crawford pound that little disease Broner after Postol though so maybe edge Garcia for Pacquiao just now then Crawford should he come through.

I just checked out Garcia's schedule... i was under the impression he was signed on for Broner?

Either way Garcia is my preference.

I wonder if his opponent will be the least interesting of the three options.

Feel sorry for Pacquiao (didn't think id be saying that) if Bob had his way , he'd still be trying to match Manny up when he's about 55. I don't think he's ever gonna let him retire :lol:

Scummy as Bob is, this is Manny. Arum won't make much money on any of his future fights.

Floyd will NEVER let Manny get the Garcia fight. Not sure how Haymon would even let this happen but Floyd has been pumping up DG's stock for months now in interviews. Floyd's no dummy. He's seen Garcia struggle with mediocre fighters lately and feels he's ripe for the picking. Garcia is the biggest name and most ripe for a loss so Floyd will never let Manny be the one to get that mark.

I predict that Floyd and Garcia will fight in May 2017. That's my guess.

I hope it's Crawford, if he beats Postol, because he is the best opponent of the 3 and a Pacquiao win over him means a lot more than over Garcia or Vargas.

You may be right. Pretty sure Floyd will be back for the five-0
