    People have been thinking over and over who could be Manny's next opponent if Floyd Mayweather Jr doesn't come to the table.

    The most talked about opponent for Pacquiao next, as of now, is Juan Manuel Marquez.

    I honestly do not see Marquez coming out of his next bout in one piece. Katsidis will have the hunger of a Lion, especially if he uses the unfortunate loss of his Brother as a motivator.

    If you see, Katsidis has come on a fair bit. His last fight showed some bit of following the game plan which he had and worked to his treat, as shown below in his latest fight:

    Arum has stated that Pacquiao's next opponent is unlikely to be a Top Rank fighter for those of you who will probably questioning the likeliness of Pacquiao fighting a Non-Top Rank fighter.

    Also, the pluses for this fight are, IF Katsidis wins, there will undoubtedly be a huge upsurge among the Casual fans if Katsidis defeats the Great Marquez. It will also be a great fight, stylistically for as long as it lasts.

    What do you think? I honestly think there is a good chance of this happening in the near future, if not the next fight.

    lol... Marquez should destroy Katsidis... It's the perfect style for JMM... i am really looking forward to this fight but i don't see good things for Katsidis. Good luck to them both.

    Why would we want to watch a fight that lasts 1 or 2 rounds tops.

    It would be Pac-Hatton all over again.

    Its obvious that Arum is setting up Pac vs Mosley even though NOBODY outside Mosley's family wants it.

    So in your eyes, who should he fight, if not Floyd Mayweather?

    Katsidis couldn't beat Juan Diaz. They would need the ambulance at ringside for this one.

    If Marquez is close to his best he DESTROYS Katsidis. However, I think he has lost enough to make this an interesting 55/45 fight.

    I agree. Marquez has definitely been on the slide for a while and this might be a ring classic. :bbb

    Listen i know catchweight fights are the big craze right now but c'mon, Katsidis would get absolutely annihilated if he fought Pacquiao.

    I wouldn't like to see it.

    Not many opponents for Pacquiao, no point dropping a level or two in competition at this stage in your career. Get the Mayweather bout or retire...(I can't see Pacquiao against Martinez or Williams, even he may believe it's too much).

    I never said that he wouldn't, I just feel it'll become a viable fight after Katisids shocks Marquez.

    You'll be surprised how the voice of people will change after that fight, just after how people demanded Marquez to fight the top dogs after the first epic fight against Juan Diaz.

    You don't think a Katsidis and Khan win would set up a fight between them? Thats a much more natural match up with the talks that were had before Maidana got confirmed.

    I know Khan says he will fight Bradley or Alexander next, but plans can change. Seems like some of these American guys are a nightmare to negotiate with.

    I don't think Marquez will win though, so a Khan-Marquez fight probably wouldn't happen if he lost.

    We'll see, only time will tell.

    The last thing I want to see Manny in with is Shane Mosley. It's not a fight that get's me excited, especially after seeing Mosley Draw against Mora in a terrible fight.
