Manny Pacquiao rumor

[elgigante]

According to fightnews, he might be fighting Robbie Peden for the IBF 130 lb belt in September and then a rematch with Morales if all goes well

And what do we think of this El Gig?

The IBF fits into yours/tauv's big 4 correct? So in theory this should be a decent fight? Im not familiar with Peden :/ BTW Doesn't Paq usually fight @ 137.5?

Honestly i dont see why Manny couldnt KO Peden. This could be a good fight, not on the level of Pac/Morales but still good. And Pac usually fights between 126-130lbs

there isn't much at 125 anymore besides Juan Manuel Marquez, who is still toiling in obscurity. I was very impressed how he came back after that crazy rd 1 against Pac. Composure personified. I still think he didn't do enough to win, but it was very close. Most fighters don't come back at all after a 10-6 round.

Peden isnt the most talented guy but he is tough. He has looked good since he got stopped via cuts vs. Marquez a while back. Im not sold on Pac Man at 130, I think hes got great power but he can be hurt and stopped. I just dont think Pden will do it.

i hope pacqiao wins

He'll get through Peden but I don't think the Morales fight will play out much differently. I'd rather see him fight Marquez again. Marquez looked really sharp in his last fight and I'd love to see him give Pac a boxing clinic like he did in rds 2-12 of their 1st fight.
