Pacquiao
TopRank CEO Bob Arum has recently floated the idea of Manny Pacquiao fighting Canelo Alvarez. However, there are several challenges that must be addressed first before such match could occur.
First Pacquiao must defeat Bradley this Saturday night at the MGM Grand and Alvarez must also beat Amir Khan on May 7 at the T-Mobile Center.
There are several things to come off for this fight to happen. The big difference in boxing styles, with Canelo’s power and durability to go up against Pacquiao’s hand speed and knockout power would make a very interesting fight.
Of course Jose Reynoso, the manager of Canelo” Alvarez, wants to see Alvarez take on the eight division champion Manny Pacquiao. That’s possible if he beat Amir Khan in their upcoming bout …show more content…
He's been one of the best fighters of recent times, and it would be a big fight, but as always we will not disrespect [Khan] by [looking to the future with Pacquiao]. Our first priority is [Khan] and that's the fighter we are preparing for,” Reynoso said in a statement, via the Bleacher Report.
If Pacquiao beats Bradley on saturday and abandons his plans to retire, trainer Freddie Roach and TopRank’s Bob Arum have two names playing on their mind as Pacquiao’s next probable opponents- Canelo Alvarez and American Terence Crawford.
Pacquiao likely to pick the Mexican boxer, Alvarez is one of the biggest names in boxing at the moment. After winning a big fight against Miguel Cotto, he is now set for some big fights this year. The fight with Khan came as a big surprise for everyone and the young Canelo is the crowd’s favourite for victory.
According to Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s official trainer, he’s receptive to the idea of Pacquiao facing Alvarez.
“That’s been talked about, I know he’s big,” said Roach, claiming that his prized ward is willing to fight anybody, including the 5-foot-9 Alvarez, who beat Miguel Cotto by unanimous decision last
