    Who do you think Pac should fight next? Let's tell Bob Arum and Top Rank what Pac fans and critics think. Here are the prospective opponents:

    1) Edwin Valero
    2) Joan Guzman
    3) Humberto Soto
    4) Joel Casamayor
    5) David Diaz
    6) Nate Campbell
    7) Juan Diaz

    Please vote, this is a poll by the way :)

    I'd like to see what Valero is actually made of.

    if he wants all the credit and glory, nate is the choice.

    if he wants to feel how things are at 135 first, then diaz is the most logical choice

    all of them will want to fight pac because he brings in all the money

    Logically, I'd say david Diaz coz he's moving up in weight and this way he can evaluate his performance as a lightweight as well as snag a belt.

    Then, I'd like to see him face either Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell or JMM. That should round out Pac's year nicely.

    Anybody among David Diaz, Casamayor or Nate Campbell would be fine for me.

    But I would prefer Casamayor first.

    I voted for Valero. It would be an incredible slug fest.

    That might be true . . . but logically it's not feasible.

    First, is Valero willing to go up to 135 now?

    Two, Pacquaio having won his third World Divisional title and his second Ring Belt drastically increasedf his stocks . . . would he be foolish to put that at stake for the WBA belt? :D

    Would the big T.V. networks gamble on Valero and put up at least $5 Mil purse for Pacquiao?

    I don't think so. :yep

    pac's definitely moving to 135lbs. Had it not, i would've wanted to see him mix it up with guzman.

    voted for casa. pac's currently the lineal champ at 130lbs. why not go for that same title at 135lbs? besides, i'd like to see casa get a big payday before he retires.. he'll definitely get one, if a pacman fight pushes through.

    valero, guzman, and soto all do not make sense as a next fight for pac. even juan diaz because of the risk reward ratio. the only fights to be made for him right now are against nate, joel and david. the three guys who hold belt at 135.
