I would never rule out Pacquiao from any fight and will always watch his fights, it was unfortunate to see him lose against that aussie guy last time. His 2 win streak was looking good after the Floyd fight. If he is in good physical condition he can keep doing it for a while. I see him still kicking ass past age 40 if he stays in shape and active like Hopkins. But he has a very physical style, unlike Floyd which was able to slow down the pace of a fight and perform surgery on opponents. Pac may have difficulties with young prospects.
My favorite right now is Loma, but he has to still face bigger names to become a future hall of famer.

@bbc.reporter, it looks like @harizen has already point out the reason why Pacquiao is still fighting and would love to continue doing it.

@thejaytiesto, that lost to Jeff Horn is just a fluke, anyone who have watch it will not agree to the judges. We really like Pacquaio to fight, however, father time is really catching up on him. His fighting style will be a big factor specially if you are aging as compare to Floyd who is very defensive, while Pacquiao loves to bang. Loma and Crawford are the new cash cow of boxing.
Loma vs Crawford would be epic, but Loma vs Mickey more realistic. Crawford is too big for Loma, but so was Loma for Rigo and the fight happened... I think Loma could bulk 10lbs and fight Crawford at 140 but he may not take the risk.

I agree. Loma vs Crawford would be epic except that Crawford is already campaigning at the 140-147 lbs already. I don't think that Loma can go as high as Welter at this time. Mickey been calling out Loma if I'm not mistaken so let's see if those 2 fight. Its more realistic as you have said, and if the money is right, we might see them fight in 2019.
