    Coming off one of his most scintillating performances against Ricky Hatton, the now IBO/The Ring Jr Welterweight champion and still pound for pound #1 boxer Manny Pacquiao now has a few fighters he could fight next.

    Manny has said he looks to his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank to determine his next fight. Arum has said he is looking to pit Pacquiao against Cotto should the latter win his WBO 147 title fight against Joshua Clottey. Freddie Roach has said he would entertain a catchweight fight between 140 and 147 against either WBA 147 champ Shane Mosley or Cotto. Then, there is the return of former pound for pound king and welterweight champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    So, who should you think that Manny Pacquiao should fight next?

    Post and vote.

    Cotto's the more realistic of the choices.

    I think Pacquiao should stay at Light Welterweight and clean up the division.

    Does Pac know the meaning of tune-up? I actually think it would be wise for him to have one in August and then face Floyd in a superfight in December.

    A tune up? What the **** for?! He just fought the jr. welterweight champion of the world. No need for a tune up after that.

    Mosley is the man at 147. I would like to see Pacquiao take him on, although I would rather see Mosley vs Cotto II first. Maybe put Pac vs Mayweather/JMM, and Cotto vs Mosley, and the winners fight each other.

    Looks like Philla wants Pac to get a beating. :D

    Floyd obviously. Huge fight to decide this decades best fighter.

    since jmm and pbf are on fa july does that mean manny whats for the winner of this bout or does fight someone in august if so i vote for timothy bradly even though taking oN cotto is the better option for the fight fans cuz timmy will keep manny busy enough but doesnt have the pop in hes punches to hurt manny to much and then if pbf beats jmm they can get it on after that other wise mannys gunna be out fa a while waiting for the winner of jmm vs pbf and even though manny wouldve put a huge effort in the training for hatton the fight itself was a walk over for manny so he shouldnt need to much of a rest for hes next bout...:bbb
