    Mosley/Berto
    JMM

    You seem to have mistaken this for the general forum- Clottey was never 'robbed' in that fight.

    Considering Pac's options, I think a JMM fight is a real possibility as well. Hopefully the Mosley fight happens first. That would be the most awesome fight in boxing in the last few years. Utterly awesome match-up and it would establish a new Ring champ if it happened as well:happy.

    I think Foreman was a good winnable fight for him. Nothing at 147 for March 13th. Perhaps he'll want to drop to 140 and fight Bradley. Next best thing out there for him I think.

    Mayweather/Pacquiao/Matthew Hatton triple threat match is really the only way forward at this point.

    Mayweather vs. Pac first up, the winner earns the right to fight Magic Matt.

    Yuri Foreman was a rubbish fight. Same old thing..just because he's big its an interesting fight? Far from it, Yuri is not even on the same level. He beat a disinterested Daniel Santos, his job is to solidify his status and prove he's not a one hit wonder, now is not the time to be stepping in the ring with the elite.

    He should concentrate on his political aspirations and look for Mosley/Berto.

    PAcman wanted the fight at 138, but with Foremans world title.
