    You can't force Mayweather to fight him. 50 tried and now they aren't friends anymore.

    Hasn't Arum already set a date for Manny's fight after Marquez? That should be a clue as to what will happen next month if we are to believe in conspiracy theories. But I'm going to say that Marquez gets it this time. What a way to end the hope for a Floyd fight.

    Mayweather won't fight him as long as Arum is involved. Arum has sabotaged all the negotiations and Mayweather has as well because of their mutual dislike of each other. Pacquiao was essentially caught in the middle. Read here for the details. Also the window of opportunity for Manny is closing since he fights more frequently and has more wear and tear on him.

    I think Arum's lining up Rios for the next fight. Not likely that Marquez gets the nod unless he knocks Manny out. History shows that for some reason he's not going to get the decision even if he dominates Pacquiao. But there are other alternatives that Manny could/should look at.

    Actually Cotto turned him down because they could not agree on a weight. Pacquiao wanted a 144 catchweight and Cotto would not go below 150. It's a different scenario now since Cotto is a free agent he has people negotiating on his behalf for the best situation rather than Arum lining up a bunch of drained fighters for Pacquiao to fight. It would be an interesting fight at 150. Read my take on this here

    I's like the Rios Fight personally.

    Or Khan would be good. Cos of the build up with Khan just leaving.

    Peterson fight would also be entertaining.

    Personally I like seeing Manny Pac against fellow warriors as it makes the better fight.
