As much as I'd love for Pacquiao to fight JMM a third time. I can't see it happening unless it's at 147 or around that. JMM is starting to slow down a bit, he struggles early but adapts and dominates late, but he is starting to slow down just a little bit. I think he would still cause Pacquiao problems at 135, or heck even maybe at 140. But at 147 I think Marquez at his age right now would look slow, and his reflexes wouldn't be as responsive. Pacquiao can fight at 147 and 140, this is a given and he can fight comfortably at either weight. But I don't see him fighting Marquez at any weight that isn't 147.

So if we were looking at Welterweights Pacquiao would fight next, assuming it isn't PBF. He might fight Ortiz next. Maidana would be a pointless fight in which we'd hope for a slugfest but wouldn't really prove anything we don't already know. After Mosley there really isn't too many 147 pounders that are shot enough to make it a catch weight fight. So Im getting the feeling that Pacquiao will probably fight someone in some kind of catch weight 145 fight against a 140 pound title holder. And the guy out there most likely to fold due to Pacquiao's style, would be Zab Judah. I mean think about it, Pacquiao is out to fight Mayweathers last opponents and 'beat them' better than he did, Zab Judah just won a 140 pound title whatever that means nowadays, and people felt Zab was Mayweathers toughest fight at 147, so if Pacquiao fights and beats him next, then that just adds to it. That plus Judah is shown to fold under pressure, which is what Pacquiao does.

So my guess is the next guy Pacquiao fights will probably be Zab Judah. The story is there, the suspect chin is there, the tendency to fold is there, and the title is there. So that would be the best next fight for Pacquiao.

Pacquiao will be retired anyway by the time this kid turns professional anyway
