Roach Adds Peterson For Pacquiao as Floyd Jr. Cools Off - Boxing News
Looking at this article it's clear that the May or June showdown with Mayweather isn't likely to occur due to him being in jail and Mayweather needing 10 weeks to prepare for a fight.
The article looks at these fighters as Pacquiao's next potential fight:
1) A fourth fight with Marquez
2) A rematch with Cotto
3) Bradley
4) Peterson
Peterson has been added to the mix because he weighed in 155 the night he fought Khan. I dont think Peterson should fight Pacquiao IMO, he needs to settle the score with Khan and I dont see how he would stand any chance against Pacquiao.
I personally don't know if Pacquiao should fight Marquez again, the fight will no doubt have a similar ending to the last as proved in the last three outings. It's not fair for Marquez because unless he stops Pacquiao I don't see how he will get the nod in a "close" encounter.
I think Cotto should stay clear of Pacquiao again, that was a pretty tough loss for him and I would prefer him to get involved with the talented 154 fighters or maybe wait to out for a Mayweather showdown himself.
I wouldnt mind a Bradley showdown, Bradley needs a stern test and with Mayweather not available I think this is one of Pacquiaos strongest options out there.
One option that hasn't been mentioned is the Berto - Ortiz winner, I think whoever wins that is ranked very highly at 147 and would no doubt be a good fight for Pacquiao.
Apparently Pacquiao - Mayweather is looking likely for November now, but until it actually ever happens I dont even care anymore.
Who do you all think Pacquiao should fight next?
