I reckon it will be Marquez first just to get rid of any ring rust (it isn't a tune-up... he is a good fighter). Then he may fight Pacquiao, Cotto, or Mosley... I am not jumping to conclusions though.

HBO, Floyd Mayweather Jr, and July 11th
July 4th is the traditional date for fireworks in the United States, but a battle is shaping up over who fights on HBO one week later.
Golden Boy and Main Events have offered HBO an IBF cruiserweight title fight between champion Tomasz Adamek and the ever-youthful Bernard Hopkins for July 11th. HBO likes the fight, but has put it on hold pending negotiations for the return of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Al Haymon (Mayweather’s adviser) has been in talks with HBO about Floyd fighting the winner of the May 2nd match-up between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. But first Mayweather wants to sharpen his skills in a tune-up bout and reintroduce himself to the boxing public.
Mayweather’s proposed date is July 11th against TBA. Sources say that Haymon would prefer that the bout be on HBO World Championship Boxing rather than pay-per-view; possibly because poor pay-per-view numbers would undermine Mayweather’s negotiating position for a late 2009 fight against the winner of Pacquiao-Hatton. The problem is; Floyd wants pay-per-view money for an HBO World Championship Boxing fight.
Stay tuned.
