Looking into the future.If Manny beats Cotto, who do you think he needs to fight next? Would you rather see Pacquiao-Marquez 3? Pacquiao-Mayweather for the p4p title? or would you want Pacman take on Mosley? Which do you think would be the best matchup of the three?
I personally believe that the Pacquiao-Marquez rivalry is not yet over. Even if Manny says he's got nothing else to prove, many still doubt the 2nd fight decision. I think we need to see a Pacquaio-Marquez 3 before he moves on to fight Mayweather and the other Welterweight guys. My only question would be, at what weight does he fight Marquez? Because if they fight at Welterweight, Marquez is sure to be clobbered like he was when he fought Floyd.
How about you? Who do you think should be next?

I think right now Marquez doesn't have a chance to beat Pacquiao. He's totally diffrent fighter from before, If Pacquiao level up Marquez moves down. You can see the way he fights mayweather and the way he fights pacquiao before..it's totally different. And if Pacquiao have a knockout win over Cotto that would only means Marquez needs to retire. If you ask me I don't whant a fight between Pacquiao and mayweather because I think he cheated on Marquez fight (weight issue). That's what happens to donaire's fight, his opponent literally didn't lose weight to take advantage of it. Mayweather did the same thing it's better to pay your excess weight than to kill youserlf in deiting. I think I'd rathher see Mosley do the dieting then fight Pacquiao than be cheated by mayweather.
This is my opinion.

I agree that Marquez is currently not a match for Pac. But still I want to see the fight, the reason being, I don't like the fact that his 2 fights with Marquez can be the taint of his legacy. I want to see a clarification match, just to prove a point. I hope your getting what I'm trying to say. A draw and a controversial split win isn't going to do good for his legacy. He may acquire a higher status among boxing fans if he shows everyone a clear victory over the man they say he is most vulnerable against.
The good thing is, Pacquiao is taken care of Roach, and knowing Roach he won't let anything like that happen. I bet he won't let Pac fight Floyd if he doesn't agree to their terms. That's how good of a matchmaker Freddie is.

I know what you are saying, but the way Marquez accept his defeat against Pacquiao is really disappointing. When Pacquiao was cheated, he took it like a man. He keep saying to the world he's better than him. That's one reason why the 3rd fight might not happen because after the fight with mayweather team Pacquiao will think Marquez to be the last in the list. And if the fight push through I just hope Pacquiao silence him for good!LOL!

Personally, i believe the Mayweather fight is a long shot at the moment. Mayweather doesn't want a piece of Pacman, he'll do every tactic available to evade him and get the easy way out same thing he did with Cotto, Margarito and Mosley. So I believe that a Pacquiao-Marquez 3 is the only fight that can drag Mayweather out to fight Pacquiao. The last interview on Floyd he said he's not going to settle on a 50-50 purse against Manny, I'm sure Manny thinks the same.

Pacman vs. Mayweather - a longshot, but doable
Pacman vs. Marquez - very viable
Pacman vs. Hopkins - that's asking too much
Pacman vs. Valero - Valero is not yet in Pacquiao's league.
I think you have some very interesting dream fights for the Pacman. Thanks for sharing.
