Manny Pacquiao's Fight Return News Sparks 'Brutal' Fan Knockout Predictions

Given that Pacquiao essentially had his pick of the litter when it came to his next opponent, most figured he would opt to fight a big name like Ryan Garcia or Rolly Romero. And in recent weeks, all indications were that Romero (who beat Garcia earlier this year) was the frontrunner to fight the Filipino legend next.

It now appears that Romero is more than merely a frontrunner. An October 1 article from Phil Jay of WBN quoted Pacquiao as saying, “We are negotiating and finalizing,” the fight with Romero during a Thrilla in Manila 50th Anniversary press conference.

There's no doubt that Romero is a great fighter and could certainly knock Pacquiao out. Then again, Pacquiao is also a great fighter, which means both guys have their work cut out for them.
