    berto is just a waste of time, he is not yet ready. even bradley, as good as he currently is. mosley is probably shot now so the only fight left is floyd or pac can retire as the best of this era.

    Sergio Martinez. Martinez would definitely be up for it. As would Pacquiao if Martinez still has his belts. Its an easy fight to sell as well - Manny Pacquiao taking on the lineal middleweight champion

    :good pacs sparring partners are middleweights so why not fighting martinez for the lineal champ? if pac loses, its okay, but if he wins, its gonna be massive!

    I personally think if Pacquiao isn't going to be in a mega fight, then he should just stay out.

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao or bust.

    I think pacman should fight noone. His legacy is set, he doesnt need ****. He should retire and sit back and watch people describe him as the fighter of our decade. Not floyd. (and I think floyd would whoop his ass).

    How come Berto is not ready if this guy has all the technical, physical and mental conditions to deliver - undefeated, young gun in there, above-average speed, power displayed b4, world title fights experience - God, if he's not ready now, he'll never be! Same goes for Tim Bradley, the guy has that style, keeps his hard rock body in a low position, doesn't square himself up or leaves his chin up in the air and keeps on releasing bombs that can hurt anybody... To my understanding, Pacquiao just wants these kind of super fights ( Mayweather, Hoya, Hatton, Cotto) or nothing !

    i don't mean to be rude and i like berto but he is not ready for someone like pac. he ha all the talent in the world but as of now, he would not beat pacquiao. let him fight first guys like mosley (if not shot) or even cotto. if he beats these guys then that's the time he can face pac or floyd.

    pac has just one last fight left and it has to floyd. if floyd doesn't want a piece of pac, then pac can either retire (legacy secured) or pick one more fight of his choosing (a big money fight probably).

    1. Martinez

    Stylistic nightmare, with the running and the height and reach.

    2. Spinks

    If Judah can beat him, Manny can. 7 pounds won't change that.

    3. Cotto

    Rematch without the weight drain accusations. Would make the catch weight for the first fight look stupid though.

    4. Williams

    No title, lots of risk because of all the physical disadvantages. Manny would win my respect just for trying. From a legacy point of view it's idiotic though.

    5. Marquez

    Settle the score. I have them at 1-1. But JMM is 36 years old. Manny's detractors won't give him credit for supposedly past prime Morales (29 at first defeat) and Barrera (30). Yet Floyd deserves respect for making Marquez, then 35, come up in weight and still cheat him on the scales.

    ---
    The rest is bollocks.
    Shane is just sloppy seconds again.
    Berto and Bradley have nothing to offer legacy wise.
    Dzi... whatever, that Ukrainian JMW champ will fight bums in Germany forever, he won't face him.
