    Manny Pacquiao's domination of Oscar De La Hoya was so thorough, so complete, it is hard to imagine who will be able to give Pac Man a good fight. Well, of course, we have some ideas.


    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: A few weeks ago we suggested that a Pac Man-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight would rank among the biggest in history. We still think so and with Manny's dominating performance against Oscar, it should serve as even more motivation for Pretty Boy Floyd to come out of retirement. While somewhere in Las Vegas mansion Floyd was probably thinking, boxing is really going to miss me! Not any more. Manny is essentially relegating Floyd irrelevant. Thus, fueling the fire for a return.

    Ricky Hatton: That was the name most often tossed around on fight night. It makes sense. Manny has expressed a desire to move back down to 140 pounds and Hatton is the biggest name in that division. I've heard they are talking about that fight in the new Wembley Stadium. It's a great fight for Manny on the way to a Floyd showdown.

    Antonio Margarito: A logical choice if Manny were to stay at welterweight, but it seems that he has decided to drop down to 140. Margarito presents a far more difficult challenge than anyone else simply because of his size (he is a huge welterweight), his power and his ability to absorb a punch. This fight may be best fought at a catch-weight of say 144.

    Miguel Cotto: Could be a great action fight. Perhaps even at a catch-weight of 144 pounds. At this point, do the titles even matter? Cotto would probably make 144 easier than Margarito. Remember, Cotto moved up to welterweight after dominating 140.

    Yuriorkis Gamboa: The Cuban star has just the right style to mix with Manny. This fight may still be a ways off, but keep an eye on Gamboa as a potential opponent for Manny is he drops back down in weight.

    Paul Williams: The southpaw just moved up to 154 pounds and won a title. He defeated Antonio Margarito at welterweight. He may not be a big enough name to fill out the dance card with Manny, but if Pac Man desires a title at a new weight class, this could be the ticket.

    Juan Manuel Marquez: Would anyone mind seeing this for a third time? I'd pay to see it again.

    Hatton is easily the easiest fight on that list, beat up Hatton then fight a top guy.

    Hatton's the obvious choice with people from both camps having publicly shown interest. Should be a great fight.

    Hatton seems the obvious candidate.

    I would not recommend a fight against Williams or Margarito.

    If it's a huge payday he wants then a drubbing of Hatton would make sense for Pac. A fight with Mayweather would be the biggest non-HW fight since Oscar/Trinidad.

    After pac vs delahoya, boxing needs to stop making fights on the basis on how much money its going to make. how the **** is ricky hatton even considered, he has no chance, these british kids who come and say it is a 50:50 fight are idiots. pacquiao would anialate ricky, fatton has no head movement and pacquiao would end up knocking him out.

    pacquiao vs marquez 3 is the fight that needs to be made, pacquiao has got lucky twice against marquez, and a convincing win over marquez would bring more credibiity than fighting hatton.

    floyd aint coming back yet, the earliest i can see him coming back is late next year, and that is to fight the winner of cotto vs margo 2.

    PBF, Hatton and JMM are the only 3 that could even happen. Cotto, margo and williams are too big. I know most people said that about oscar but this time it would be too much. All 3 actually throw punches in bunches with very good power. Oscar pop shots with occasional power. I love manny to bits and think he is the modern day henry armstrong but if he gets a fight with any of them, especially margo, he's gona get badly hurt.

    couldn't agree more. the only thing that could make this fight bigger is if manny beats hatton first. could you imagine how huge the fight would be if the last two oppenents for each fighter were oscar and hatton??
