Where does pac go after Clottey....

[Puerto Rican Punch]

He should fight the winner of Mosley or Mayweather, if not then Yuri Foreman for an unprecedented 8th title.

by the time Pacquiao would be able to fight Foreman, Yuri most likely wont have the belt any longer, cause IMO Cotto is gonna smash him

Agree; Cotto should have Foreman title by that time, and I don't think there will be a rematch with Cotto. Therefore, 154 are not likely to be an option.

First, Pacman had to make sure he beats Clottey and I don't think this will be an easy task. Floyd also has his hands full with Mosley. Man, both (Floyd and Pacman) had chances of receiving the big surprise...

I Pac, Floyd and Berto win, there may be a Berto - Pacman fight.

I also think Valero will do what it takes to fight Pacman. But, after all this debate, Pacman can also choose politics and say goodbye to boxing, and he has the perfect excuse with all this drug test issues. Only the time will tell...

I don't see mosley or mayweather fight happening because of the rematch clause in their contract. If mosley wins he'll be occupied for the rest of the year. I don't see him fighting mayweather either since either side is not going to back down on the drug testing protocols. It's a losing year for the boxing fan.

Mayweather will beat Mosley and Pacman will beat Clottey, they can play all the games they want, boxing needs this fight to happen this year and i beileve it will. The question is what will both of them do when they win their respective fights? My answer is they will fight September or October.

My guess is first week of december.

Although I haven't seen the contract, I assume that the rematch clause might only apply if Shane wins. Since Floyd can dictate the terms, why would he include the rematch clause if he's the victor? That would prevent him from pursuing a megafight with Manny.

If they win their respective matches, I believe the term for the blood test will be easier to negotiate. Floyd may gain confidence from the victory that he might agree to the 24 days cut off and Manny is down to his last fight before he retires that he might agree to the 14 days cut off. As long as they keep the purse split at 50/50, then we'll have a fight.

Funny as all hell if Clottey pulls this off,which is not at all out of the question.This is essentially a stay busy fight while he 'waits' for Mayweather (is he really)...can be the most dangerous kind.

What I meant was the potential for the fight would be unlikely if Mosley wins or loses. The contract would keep Mosley from fighting pac. I doubt there would be much interest in fighting Mosley if he lost and I really don't see how negotiations with Mayweather would change since they fell apart the first time with a 10 day gap.

Good post. In addition, if Floyd beats Mosley he'll want (and deserve) better than a 50-50 split. If Mosley wins, he'll fight Floyd again, which ties him up for the rest of the year. I bet Pac fights Margarito or Valero.
