There have been several names mentioned as being the pacmans last opponent in April but the front runner at the moment seems to be Timothy Bradley. If this fight were to happen I would be massively disappointed because having your final fight against a man you've already beaten twice is nonsensical and almost cowardly. There were options such as Crawford and Khan on the table that could have given us an opportunity to see a really interesting fight and allow Pacquiao to regain some dignity after the shoulder injury fiasco. Instead he looks to have chosen the safe option and arum gets to keep the fight in house. On the flip side, it means Khan now has to face a legitimate 147 guy next year and that guy could be Kell Brook.
Thoughts on Bradley as a possible final opponent for the pacman?

I'd rather he face Bradley than Khan. In an ideal world though he'd fight someone like Thurman, Garcia or Brook.

Christ you are petty.
If this is Pacs last fight it really doesn't matter who he fights considering the amount of elites he has on his CV. He has done so much for the sport it doesn't really matter.

That's your opinion, not a fact.

Both Mayweather and Pac deserve to cherry pick their opponent in their final fight. They have both earned that right. Vik, everyone knows that you are a massive Mayweather fan, your acceptance of him fighting Berto in his last fight, but criticism of Pac is imo petty.
Both opponents aren't exciting and should be wins. Why one rule for one and another rule for the other. Both have earned the right to do what they want.

Paisley don't misconstrue my intentions here mate, I respect Pacquiao massively and I understand what he has done for the sport. He will go down as the second best fighter of his era and a 8 weight world champion.

Exactly, Therefore he has nothing left to prove. His legacy is already cemented.
By finally fighting Mayweather, and previously fighting a legion of HoF's he has earned the right to sign off on his terms, not the terms of his spurious critics.

Not a fight I want to see he's already beaten him twice convincingly
