    Pac's kinda in an odd spot at the moment. All the "names" are old/shot/declining, and all the younger guys have yet to sort out who's the top dog. If he fights the names then he gets flak, if he fights the younger dudes then he gets flak ( and makes less money ). Of the three mentioned I'd prefer Berto > JMM > Mosley, at least Berto is unbeaten WW champ, and the only champ at WW who is viable as I hardly think Senchenko or Zaveck are on the radar. I would prefer JMM over the others IF it was at 140, but it seems like Pac would only do it at 147. In an ideal world I'd have Pac fight JMM at 140 or Berto at 147 in April then fight the last man standing from Maidana/Khan/Alexander/Bradley in a megafight at 140 in November.

    Who BD, who?

    People will always find something to criticize about him, whomever that is rumored he'll fight.

    See effigy's post. :good

    Yes, I would like to see him knock Berto out. Collazo has already beaten Berto.

    Berto? Wait for Bradley Alexander winner? Khan Maidana winner? I really don't wanna see him fight Mosley.

    If he wants a tune up, he can fight Collazo or Berto, if he wants superfight, then Martnez is the man at 154lbs, Fraud is not going to fight him, unless he agree at a random blood test.

    I actually want him to fight Mosley, just to annoy Floyd really.

    IF, Floyd is scared of Manny and won't ever fight him then beating Mosley more convincingly is the next best thing.

    It's the money fight of the three too probably.

    Also, he gets to attempt to be the first guy to stop Shane.

    I can see why Pacman would take this fight next, there are as good reasons as any.

    I want him to fight Berto too. But that wouldn't sell from a $ perspective. The others are not even in the radar yet they should first fight amongst themselves then the winner gets the Pacquiao or Mayweather lottery ticket.

    everyone gets disapointed because only the mayweather fight makes sense. everything else (maybe except martinez), is bull****

    Beating Marquez in a more convincing way than Floyd did would be just as good.

    No, I think he should fight Mosley. Their styles will make this a good fight.
