    Is there any legitimate fights left for Pacquiao?

    Pacquiao would have to come down in weight to fight Marquez unless he is willing to meet at a catchweight.

    Mayweather seems like he's going to pass on fighting Pacquiao, so this is out of question right now.

    Martinez is supposedly to big for Pacquiao, and they'd have to meet at 154. But Martinez would probably be drained coming down in weight - he is naturally more suited at 160.

    Khan and Pacquiao are both to good friends to fight one another. Pacquiao even had mercy on Mosley last night, so I think it'd be another glorified sparring match.

    The only viable opponent I can think of is Ortiz, nobody else can challenge Pacquiao other than him. Forget these washed up guys who are there to survive vs Pacquiao without intentions of even winning.

    Who else is out there for Pacquiao? I honestly think he has nothing to really prove other than beat Mayweather but it's unlikely to ever happen.

    Seriously guys, where can Pacquiao go from here? His options are very limited right now.

    he should fight ortiz or martinez.

    i'm pretty sure pac can handle martinez even if martinez came in at 165. tired of PPV sparring sessions

    edit: or better yet, floyd should just challenge pac on the spot after yesterday. floyd doesnt need to have pac take OST. i mean, come on.

      If Pac is complaining about his leg, then he should retire. If that leg doesn't heal a fight with Mayweather will be a disaster for him. Basically, this Floyd-Pac is done. I'm hoping for a Floyd-Khan.

        Yeah but you know Roach wouldn't allow this. Martinez would be a solid opponent for Pacquiao, but a very dangerous one.

        Floyd could beat Pacquiao without the tests in my opinion. Pacquiao is human and can be beaten, but Mayweather doesn't fancy his chances.

        I know people say they want Marquez, but Marquez and coming in weight doesn't go together. Marquez is 135ber and no more, Pacquiao will demolish him and yet we'll hear more about cherry picking.

        Ortiz is a WIN - WIN for Pacquiao. A legitimate showdown between the two, and no excuses for either opponent where Marquez, Martinez, are questionable choices.

          JMM and Bradley are the most realistic and credible opponents.

              JMM would be a tarnished win because of the weight though, he struggles to put the weight on. I think Pacquiao demolishes him, and we'd hear how Pacquiao fought a blown up JMM....

              Bradley is an Okay opponent but I see no further than Ortiz. Ortiz is the most credible opponent and a legit 147ber out there. There are no excuses for this fight; no catchweights. Both fighters would go toe-to-toe and Ortiz would actually want to 'fight' something past Pacquiao opponents haven't wanted to do.

                Sorry bro, but after watching Clottey and Mosley, the last thing I want to see him do is face another mental midget in Victor Ortiz. Ortiz doesn't have the heart to compete with Pacquiao.

                  Then who do you suggest dude? No one is happy with who'm pacquiao fights nowadays, he cannot win.

                  Marquez would be considered blown up - Martinez would be weight drained - Bradley to small.

                  What can he do? I don't think Pacquiao can please anyone anymore brah.

                    Ortiz would be exciting and short.
