If Manny beats Margarito & Mayweather fight still can't be made, Bob Arum named 3 possible opponents to me: Mosley, Marquez, Cotto rematch.
i wouldn't mind seeing pacquiao vs alexander or bradley at 147. i don't think it'd hurt alexander or bradley, they're actually the same size as pac. and i don't think pac would want to go back down to 140 right after fighting up at junior middle.
i would love to see pac vs williams or martinez at 154, no catchweight.
none of these fights will happen, arum won't allow it. pac takes a long break after this fight to focus on politics and wait for floyd to come out of hiding. maybe he'll take on some non-threatening opposition in 2011 to stay in shape, but everyone knows pac's waiting for the real money against floyd.
Berto and the winner of Bradley/Alexander is the best option. Although Bradley looked awful in his first fight at 147.
Martinez and Williams are middleweights. Not unless those 2 are willing to go down to '47, which I am sure would not suit well for you Flomos.
I see different names in other article but Mosley is standard name going out but better choices in Berto and Bradley ...
Arum said if Mayweather's disappearing act continues into 2011, he'll explore bouts against world welterweight champions Shane Mosley and Andre Berto or junior-welterweight champion Timothy Bradley if he wins a tough fight in January against Devon Alexander.

What does he mean if Mayweather cant be made ,,, Bob you only got to agree too terms and its a lock Floyd signed the first contract you didnt ,,, no other fight is wanted , do whatever it takes to make it happen instead of saying no and milking Pac .
finally, thank you!
HUH??? dude...u have issues...i never said i knew when floyd was fighting. i just kno theres no way hes fighting malinaggi any time soon.

So Arum doesn't want the Mayweather fight to happen? Alright cool... but why Mosley? The guy struggled with Mora and got embarrased by Mayweather. A third fight with Marquez? Are they gonna fight at 135? Thats the only scenario i see the fight being competitive. Cotto rematch? What's the point? So that greedy scumbag can make more money?
Because Mayweather would probably want the fight at 154. If Pac made Margarito fight at a catchweight then why not PBF too?
If Pacman wins and PBF fights him at 150, then Floyd has the chance to win a belt in another weight division.
150lbs, 10oz gloves, 50/50 split, 14 day cut-off for testing, Las Vegas. Make it happen, please for the love of God.
I don't know why Floyd would want it at 154?
He hasn't made any indication that he wants to move up. Plus I don't think he is struggling to make 147, he can't make 144, but 147 seems to be a good weight for him.
Why???????????

dude, keep up!!! i dunno when floyd is fighting but theres no way in hell hes fighting paulie in feb. like i said paulie has a fight in December. DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGISH???
finally, thank you!
If Margarito wins he has a lot of options:
- he could either have a money-spinning rematch with Pacquaio,
- fight Mayweather at 154
- rematch Cotto at 154 to unify,
- move up to Middleweight and fight the winner of Martinez/Williams.
If Manny wins:
- Try to get Mayweather at 150lbs catchweight.
- either a rematch with Cotto at 150-154lbs to unify. That way Cotto won't be weight drained and it might be a more even fight. I still think that Pacquaio would win, but not by tko, would be a UD.
Why???????????
Agreed, jro. I wish every Pac fan thought like you. But whatever fight is decided, you'll see a lot of people having a change of heart all of a sudden. Support pay-per-sham!
The list is crap bro, for people to defend it would be stupid. I do give Pac a pass for this year cuz I thought he was 08 and 09 campaign. It was 2 good years, 08 JMM @ 130, Diaz @ 135, Oscar @ 147, 09 Hatton @ 140, and Cotto at a catch-weight. People want to talk crap about that run but after hind sight. Going into the fights all of them were legit fights for the exception of Diaz all were good fights.
So I am willing to give him a pass for this year. But, if he does this again next year is just crap.
But, if JMM beat Katsidis, that would be a legit fight and I would be supportive. However, it would only be supportive at 135. That is JMM limit. Just cuz some fighters can jump through weight-class doesn't mean every fighter can. And, I think JMM at 135, which is his 3rd weight-class, is his limit. Anything higher than that is crap, is a BS fight, is pretty much Floyd-JMM basically I didn't give Floyd credit for that win, I am not going to give Pac credit unless is at 135. But, I seriously doubt Pac would go down to 135.
lol...i thought you said the article was'nt credible?.......floyd fighting on feb is true, floyd fighting paulie is not when both came from the same source?....oh, ok....lol
dude, keep up!!! i dunno when floyd is fighting but theres no way in hell hes fighting paulie in feb. like i said paulie has a fight in December. DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGISH???
