There is some uncertainty regarding Pacquiao's next fight. Amir Khan was about to fight against Pacquiao on November 8th. Even the venue was confirmed for this fight (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). Now it looks like Manny has pulled out of the fight. Perhaps he think that he can get a better opponent than Amir Khan, who has remained out of the media limelight for the past 4-5 years.
First, congrats to Manny Pacquiao, truly one the best of all time, all-time-greats.
Second, he said that he will fight next year, he already had two fights this year, so I doubt that he will seek another fight in less than six months.
Third, legacy wise, it is not good for him to fight a past prime Amir Khan, doesn't look at his last fight, he should at least face him like 4-5 years ago, the hype around Amir is not there anymore as well.
The best option for Manny right now, is Errol Spence Jr/Terrence Crawford. If Manny wins either against this two he will cemented legacy and might cemented his status even greater than Floyd Mayweather, IMHO.
Ive heard Errol Spence Jr./Terence Crawford to be the exact next that Manny Pacquaio will fight... just some humor & a slight chance to be the next. Actually I dont know quite yet who are these 2 growing professional boxers. But looking at their record are very impressive and Errol Spence Jr is a southpaw type of boxer also... could he be the next manny pacquiao?
