    If Pacquiao gets by Rios, who should he face next? definitely not JMM

    If Bradley gets by Marquez I think the best fight for him would be against Bradley. Who is credible, not a hard puncher and a small welterweight like himself. Thurman isnt a big enough draw and not accomplished enough, Berto isnt elite at the weight anymore..hopefully he doesnt fight another guy moving up in weight, Since Manny has fought at welterweight he has not fought many true welterweights...Marquez was never a welterweight, Bradley was a career long junior welterweight, 5'6" with no power, Cotto was a catchweight, ODLH hadnt fought at 147 in almost a decade, Clottey and Mosley were legit welterweights but were not coming off good performances ..A fight with Malignaggi or Broner at this point wouldnt be exciting to me.....IMO he gets by Rios, go for Bradley, he should try his best to get in the ring Maywether. Their arent manny meaningful fights left....Maybe the winner of Mattysse vs. Garcia but hey I just want him to fight a true welterweight

      Top Rank doesn't have that great of fighters at 47, so IDK. I wouldn't mind seeing Pac-JMM 5 though. However, if Bradley beats JMM in convincing fashion than Pac-Bradley 2 has to happen.

            I would love to see that rematch, but I would rather he fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                Pacquiao is not a welterweight so why is it so important that he fight a "true" welterweight? The winner of Garcia-Matthysse will be a jr. welterweight so how is that any different? Matthysse and Garcia are Golden Boy fighters so he can't fight them anyway. If Marquez beats Bradley and Pacquiao beats Rios I'd like to see Pacquiao have a chance to get even with Marquez for his KO loss. Marquez and Pacquiao are about the same size. They are not full sized welterweights but Marquez would be the WBO welterweight world champion so that would make him a welterweight. I get the impression that you don't think much of Pacquiao. I like Pacquiao. He is exciting to watch and he fights his heart out.He is a clean fighter and he respects other fighters in and out of the ring. Whoever he fights I hope he wins.

                  Floyd assuming he beats Canelo.

                  I'm not really interested in another Marquez fight and I don't think too many others are either.

                    I think you're wrong about that. It has way more anticipation than 3 or 4, and those did very good numbers. It makes sense, it'd be coming off FOTY with a shocking KOTY, most viewers want more of the same. Compare Pac Bradley, most casuals wouldn't care to see a rerun.
