Yes, he lost his last outing, but Manny Pacquiao is still, arguably, the best-known boxer on the planet. Masses want to know, thus, when will the Fighting Congressman fight again? He had surgery on a torn right shoulder after his May 2 loss to Floyd Mayweather, and will need time to get that injured wing back to form. How much time? I asked Freddie Roach during a visit to his Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood.
?It could be awhile ? I?m looking at three to six months from now,? ?Dedham? Freddie told me. That mean he could fight this year? Likely he will start getting ready for a 2016 fight at the end of this year, the trainer said.
And would he go in tough ? or take a rust-shedder bout, against someone he?d be quite likely to defeat? If the shoulder rehab goes well, the tutor said, he thinks Manny will take on an A-grade guy.
OK, like who?
Danny Garcia, ?he?d be a good opponent,? Fred said ? and another Mayweather tangle would be an option, though the first foray took a lot out of anyone involved, he noted.
