    Since seven out of 10 people are saying Manny Pacquiao will get past Shane Mosley on May 7, as is shown in the continuing betting odds (seven-to-one in recent updates and polls, in Pacquiao's favor), who will the pound-for-pound king face in his second fight of the year?

    Of course,

    is first on the list. However, due to a number of intricate situations that the undefeated boxer is facing at this time, which may come in the way of their long overdue fight, Team Pacquiao should start considering other possibilities. The second fight of the year is normally scheduled for early November.

    It seems that Pacquiao is running out of quality opponents, since many of those who are calling him are not really on his level at this time.
    Some of them are overrated, others are past their prime, while many aren't nearly marketable enough and are riding on Pacquiao's popularity.

    One of the overrated boxers who is salivating over the thought of having a crack at Manny Pacquiao is

    , who figured in "The Super Fight" recently with Devon Alexander.

    Bradley's fight with Alexander was not at all impressive and yet Bradley immediately called on Pacquiao for a seemingly lucrative fight after his unimpressive victory over Alexander.

    "Neither Alexander nor Bradley looked impressive or even like a champion who could satisfy HBO's ongoing void for the next American boxing star," King J wrote.

    "These types of ugly/boring fights drive away the fight fans and kill off any future fans of the sport," he added.

    Another boxer who is relentlessly calling on Manny Pacquiao is the very popular

    of Mexico, who the pound-for-pound king knocked down at least four times during their last two fights.
    Marquez claims he won both fights but the judges said otherwise. Now he's chasing Pacquiao for a trilogy.

    However, it seems more like Marquez is just looking for a huge payday before retiring for good. He knows he can't pick up that kind of money with anyone other than in a date with Pacquiao.

    is another neophyte who's gunning for his first million dollar fight purse at the expense of Pacquiao.

    Although undefeated in his pro boxing career, Berto is hard to promote since he needs more time to build his name in the big leagues.
     
  2. If he man's up and schedule allows.....Floyd has been waiting two years now.

    Hahah. berto can't be too hard to promote, he's been raking in a million dollars without anyone who doesn't already watch HBO Boxing knowing who the **** he is. Mosley supposed to be his coming out, now he's just collecting big money ananomously.

    If I were to pick, I'd want Marquez, Top 140 winner (unless it's Khan, that fight probably will never happen), THEN Berto. Going without saying, Floyd is number 1 choice.

    Hiding behind a list of excuses makes no sense.


    It is what it is though. Could you imagine Floyd saying he doesn't want to take a blood test because he think's his word should be enough?

    I'm tired of hearing people constantly cutting down pacs coming competition, like bradley. He's fighting a 40 year old who hasn't won a fight in two years. Fighting an undefeated fighter like bradley, or even a maidana or khan, would b just fine. Or, if berto trashes ortiz, even berto. And jmm might be fighting judah at 140, if he wins that, its a decent fight for the pacman.

    bradley at 140 if he beats khan for me, if not marquez at 140 if he beats judah, otherwise berto
