Who will Pacquiao fight next?

Now that the fight between Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao is over, everyone is eager to know who will the pound for pound king face next. Rumors are circulating that Juan Manuel Marquez is Manny's next opponent.  Everyone off course is hoping that Mayfeather fight Pacquiao but I think that won't happen anytime soon assuming that it will ever happen.

I wonder if Pacquiao would still have a hard time against Marquez if they will fight again. They fought twice. It was a draw in their first match and Pacquiao won the second. But it was not an easy task for Manny since Marquez is a great counter puncher. Manny has won his last 14 match while Marquez is on a 2 bout winning streak. He lost against Mayweather on Sept 19, 2009.

In his last few matches, Pacquiao has faced bigger and stronger opponents. He has a big disadvantage in terms of height and reach but this has not stop Pacquiao from being dominant in the ring. He has fought big names like Oscar De la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley. Pacquiao has definitely improved since Marquez fought him.

Every boxing fan still wants to see the Pacquaio-Mayweather bout. It maybe the most anticipated match in the last few years. But it seems impossible at this moment, Mayweather is contented in retiring for now. But if he decides to fight Pacquiao, it would be a legendary fight.
