    Campbell. That fight has the draw, the historical legacy and the money all rolled into one.

    Marquez III then a money-spinner v Hatton. I have no idea if he would beat JMM, it would be another razor-thin classic, but I feel sure he would cause an upset and stop Hatton.

    Edwin Valero at 135lbs. Valero has stated his desire to move up to LW as its getting harder ot make 130lbs. People might just see Valero as a fighter with hits extremely hard, but I definately see more in him than just that.

    Granted, Pacquiao is the more skillful fighter, more experienced at top level, but Valero's skills have improved. In boxing, it can only take one shot, in the right place & its all over. If Valero lands cleanly, I think Pacquiao will be gone.

    Manny would start favourite, & I couldn;t go against him winning, but Valero is one of the few fighters who would be willing to have it out with Pacquiao 7 would stand a good chance of landing his own punches, making them count.

    Very exciting fight in my view. However, for what its worth, it looks like Humberto Soto will get the call.

    i suppose that pac will have no choice but to fight soto which is the next biggest fight available. valero should be a nice opponent but cannot get a clearance. if he beat soto, i would be happy if he would fight either hatton, campbell-guzman winner or casa-marquez winner.

    Well the only viable fighters that are available are Soto and Valero. I'm okay with either but not really excited to see the fight. Too bad the more exciting boxers he could've faced are unavailable.

    On the upside though his schedule next year could be spectacular. He could go for the winner of either Casamayor-JMM or Campbell-Guzman or even get that huge fight with Hatton.

    Guzman. I think it would be a great competitive fight. Guzman is one of those really good fighters that is just waiting for his breakthrough fight much like Pacman before MAB.

    UNIFY to become the ultimate champ(4 belts). Should fight winner of Guzman-Campbell. Then he join bernard as a quadruple champ and defends his mandatorys for a few years, to become the greatest LW since Duran...

    But he wont do that. Ricky will want to get a 140lbs belt by fighting the winner of Paulie-Ricky.
