    Manny has considered to be facing the weakest of the three options
    offered by his promoter Bop Arum for his coming fight on Nov. 10th.

    Which one do you think is the most likely he could or would take?
    1) Tim Bradley(less money).
    2) Miguel Cotto(not less than 154 lbs).
    3) Juan Manuel Marquez(4th time).

    Cotto is the easiest fight of the 3 (Style wise for Pacquiao)
    Possible bigger $$$ aswell.

    I'd take MC if availiable.
    Should be Bradley tho.

    He still in the process of figuring out who the weakest link is.

    Bradley makes the most sense for a few reasons. We've seen 3 fights with JMM, and Cotto is probably too big (and good) for Team Pac's taste at this stage.

    Pac on fighting Mayweather-Not enough money

    Pac on fighting Bradley-Not enough ppv money fans say "wont sell"

    Pac on fighting Cotto-Not enough drained

    Pac on fighting Juan-I know I can get a gift decision and fight him yet again

    even though I feel I beat him 3 times..

    All these fights are probably going to robberies, Arum don't care about pacquiao anymore.

    We know that Marquez beat pacquiao, and pacquiao beat bradley.
    So maybe cotto is the best choice, but he got KTFO , so do you really need a rematch for cotto?

    I'd guess that he fights Bradley again. All three of them are good fights, honestly, but Marquez is the most deserving.

    miguel beats both jmm and timmy. cotto will outweigh pac by 15lbs. on fight night.
    first fight looked too one-sided so this rematch won't break 1 mil. on ppv.

    jmm always gives pac a tough fight. this fight will be easier to sell and would make more the the other 2.

    bradley is a no win fight for pac.


    ...it's going to be pac-jmm 4.

    It's easy, Cotto if he agrees to a catchweight. Of the three opponents he's the only one Pacquiao has stopped. Despite Bradley getting the decision, Pacquiao win or lose will not look good against Bradley, bad matchup stylistically for Pacquiao, the same holds true for Marquez, bad matchup stylistically for Pacquiao which has already been proven. Both fighters are risky fights at this stage in Pacquiao's career if a Mayweather fight is to be made.

    Cotto too good for PAC??
    That's madness.
    I know it's been about 3 years but Cotto got ****ed up pretty bad.
