    Manny Pacquiao will select as his next opponent either WBA junior middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto, WBA/WBO lightweight titleholder Juan Manuel Marquez, IBF/WBA junior welterweight beltwinner Lamont Peterson or Peterson's WBO division counterpart Tim Bradley.
    The selection process will begin on or after January 10, Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, and his advisor, Michael Koncz., both told RingTV.com on Monday.

    1) Marquez- m/f deserves it.

    2) Cotto- I think Cotto will show better with his new trainer, a better camp and better gameplan. I'd still pick Pacquiao though. No catchweights though.:nono

    3) Bradley- Don't see Bradley being able to win this, although I don't think he'd get blown out. 116-112, 117-111ish Pacquiao UD.

    4) Peterson- Simply don't see LP being ready for this. Gets stopped IMO.

    This:deal


    As puppet master Arum has ordered his man slave to pick one of the 4 of his choosing that way he can make Pac feel like he is in control of who he fights.


    He will fight Bradley, Marquez is too high risk and is demanding alot, Lamont Peterson is with different promoter. After the first Cotto is not sellable, it was not even close the first time around

    Bradley

    Marquez 4 is most likely ...Peterson need to rematch khan , Bradley would get smoked and cotto should stay at 154 and PAC should not go up to 154....my preference would be 1 Marquez 2 cotto. 3 Bradley and 4 Peterson, as far as action packed fights go that's how I feel they rank

    Hold the **** up.

    Will pac be fighting before MAY 5th?

    I thought Arum said pac cut won't heal in time for that date, so how can pac possibly fight early than that?

    If pac fights before May 5th it is clear Arum was laying the foundation to duck a mayweather fight by saying pac would not be ready forcing mayweather to find a new opponent for May 5th.

    I will be watching developments closely, pac better not fight before May 5th if he does we know bob arum was preparing to block the mega fight once again.

    Bradley is the best fight. Can't see it happening though.

    Everyone knows the cut wasn't a problem, just Arum talking ****, what new revelation are you trying to uncover? I think Pac confirmed himself that may 5th was fine to fight Floyd.

    JMM4 or Bradley is fine with me whilst he waits for Floyd.
