Who Should Pacquiao fight Next: Marquez 4, Bradley 2, Cotto 2..?

[freudianslip]

I don't think Pacquiao himself is even interested in any of these fights. Bradley rematch maybe, but even then he already schooled Bradley once. Awful. Pacquiao needs to move on to better fights or retire. Nothing to prove.

I voted for Marquez4. He can gain lots of prestige if he can beat Marquez clearly. A KO victory would top Mayweather's fight with Marquez. Marquez deserves the fight before he gets to old. Bradley or Cotto gain him little prestige because he already beat them. Bradley will be around to beat officially anytime. If he can't beat Marquez he should retire. I am almost certain he will fight Marquez next.

His career has come to fighting guys he has already beat.
He will probably fight JMM most likely, the Bradley fight was boring, don't really want to see the rematch. If he fights Cotto and it is at a catchweight, it won't mean anything.
If he fights JMM or Cotto, he better KO then he has some bargaining power to the Mayweather fight. Looks like Manny's career is about over, considering he is running out of opponents.

If it hasn't become clear for the boxing public that Pac is at the end, fighting Marquez for the 4th time would make it crystal. People will purchase the PPV again and it'll do similar numbers to their previous fights cuz of the entertainment value.

Can someone give me a history lesson as to why there's such a long gap of time between their rematches? Pac/Morales fights were very close to each other when compared to his trilogy with Marquez.

There are no good fights left for pac he should just retire when he is still near the top. He won't beat floyd, bradley or marquez and he won't go to 154.

Unless JMM is sure, very sure he can get the KO\TKO he is NOT going to win on the cards, especially since Pac lost to Bradley. So, what's the use?

Cotto fight at 154lb only .. if not, again, what's the use?

Bradley II or Mayweather are the fights to make.

vs Marquez.

Marquez held out for more money in the rematch but then ended up fighting Chris John for 35k. Pacquaio went on to Morales in 2005, lost that great fight and both decided they wanted to exercise their rematch clause.

yup.... pac wanted immediate rematch and marquez wanted more money..that's all there was to it.

BUT anyways pac should go ahead and beat bradley again, get his belt back, and then fight a new face or two and then retire afterwards. pac could retire now and still be considered a HOF'er and ATG...not much else for him to prove.

Didn't he turn down something like 1.5 million. I am remembering that and 750.000.

maybe he was offered 750k and was holding out for 1.5 mill. but then went to Indonesia to fight their hero for 35k. not very good decisions on the business end, this chain of events. lol

who the **** would want to see pac cotto 2 specially at a catchweight
