    Obviously Pac vs. Mayweather is the fight the whole world wants to see, so I will not include him with this poll.


    PAcmans possible fights:

    Marquez- this fight should have happened years ago, Marquez has been through to many wars since than and if they fight at 147 like Pac wants, Marquez gets anhilated.

    Mosley- Why? Mayweather completely outclassed Mosley. This is a no win situation for Pac. If Pac wins, he gets no credit from most, if not all boxing fans and media.

    Cotto- Cotto probably gave him the most competitive fight as of recent; and thats not saying much. Pac still proved to be a bad style matchup for Cotto. Pac did receive some punishment in that fight and at 154 with no catchweight it could be more interesting?

    Berto- Young and undefeated welterweight champ! Sounds good already. Berto does not have the best resume, and I believe is highly criticized for a close decision victory over Collazo. Well, Collazo is a tough fight for anyone and the fact is, Berto is still undefeated and presents a whole different style challenge to Pac.

    Bradley or Alexander- Young and undefeated 140lb linear champion with the slick american style of boxing. Since when is Pac to heavy to fight @ 140?
    Pac could not even weigh in @ 147 trying to gain weight for his last fight.
    Many have criticized Pac for not cleaning out the 140lb. division properly.
    Bradley and Alexander are no spring chickens and are ready for the fight. Either man has all the tools to give Pac both the challenge and credit win or lose. I should have included Alexander in the poll, so choose Bradley option depending on who wins this fight.

    Martinez and Williams- I will group these two together because in reality, I dont see them as possible opponents. I am not aware of these two ever being brought up by Bob Arum as possible opponents. I believe they are a far stretch when it comes to a height and weight disparity as well. These are two great fighters who are p4p in their respective weight classes.

    After analyzing all this, here is my opinion on who pac should fight:

    1. Bradley =Best possible fight.
    2. Berto =Great credible fight
    3. Mosley =No credit, but Pac has not fought him.
    4. Cotto =Clearly defeated already, but could be entertaining @ 154
    5. Marquez=Assuming at 147, Marquez has no chance.
    6. Martinez and Williams=unrealistic.

    Come on! Why are people picking Berto? Who has Berto fought? Yes, I understand he has a belt and he is undefeated but has not made any good fights and just look at his opponents. Why aren't other boxers after Berto (i.e. Mayweather, Williams, Bradley etc.), and its not because they are ducking him? At this stage Pac is too much for Berto. The only good fight for Pac left out there is Mayweather, thats it, no one else just him.

    I agree. Pac and Mayweather only need eachother to solidify their career and retire. But it might not happen, ad Pac wants to keep fighting, so who is the next best option?

    I wonder if Pac will do a Roberto Duran and continue fighting til near 40 as 5' 7" light heavyweight that has difficulty making weight.

    I'm glad to see nobody wants Mosley. Personally I want him to fight Berto because I want Bradley to fight Amir Khan after Devon. Marquez may have to fight at 147 and nobody wants to see him at that weight. Martinez and Paul is actually my first choice, but I know they won't fight him

    Really, JMM @ 147? Please leave opinion if you vote on this. I dont see him even having @ chance at this weight, 140 could be interesting. But roach already said he wants to bloat up Marquez to 147.

    I want to Pac to fight Berto.

    - Berto is in 147.
    - Berto is undefeated.
    - Berto is young.
    - Berto is black.

    Time to bring in the young ones.

    Sergio or Williams:think Only way Pac wins is if he dehydrates them under 150. Than you have that excuse.

    It's time for Pac to retire. 90% of his fans believe he steam rolls over everyone from 160 down. If thats the case, it's time for him to retire. Because if they believe that, whats the point of actually fighting?

    Even at 140 it would be a VERY one sided ass kicking. This fight proves nothing; it is more useless than the Mosley fight and that is really saying something.

    How does it settle the controversy? It doesn't settle ****! It just gets JMM beat up.

    Let us pretend that Floyd never rematched Castillo. After years of hearing people talk trash he decides to fight Castillo again this year. So we would have modern Floyd against modern Castillo... Obviously Floyd would DESTROY him. Would it prove anything? Would it change peoples minds about the first fight? People aren't that stupid!

    its f**king ridiculous that we are even mentioning Pac fighting anyone else but Mayweather...Pac has nothing left to prove against ANYONE...he just dismantled 5 fighters that no one thought he could beat a few years ago...Pacquiao is 31 years old and Floyd is 33...I DONT WANT TO SEE THESE GUYS 35+ fighting each other! Make it happen now! Pac VS. Mosley? Give me a break...Mosley is done...he just had a draw with SERGIO MORA for Christ sake...and you think he has a chance against Pac...Floyd VS. Pac is the only option...make it ****ing happen
