Manny Pacquiao: Who is Next, Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley?

If there was any doubt regarding Manny Pacquiao’s no.1 pound for pound status, it was cleared out when the Filipino star defeated British youngster Ricky Hatton in their recent bout. Now, the question is who is coming up next to fight against Manny Pacquiao. Two possible names doing the rounds are Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley who is from California.


Top Rank, the promoter of Pacquiao, wants Cotto to put against the Filipino. It is pretty much understandable because Top Rank also promotes Cotto and it would be a big chance for the Bob Arum-owned promotion to make some quick cash in through a fight between Pacquiao and Cotto.


However, Shane Mosley has already said that he is ready to fight against Pacquiao to prove that the Filipino is beatable. He also said that a fight against Pacquiao at the Staples Center in California would open up a window to earn a good amount of money because many Filipinos currently reside in California.

Now, let us see who Manny Pacquiao is going to face in his next fight?

miguel cotto or mosley would be a great fight... but I personally would want to see cotto and paquiao go at it just so we don't get any delays with roach because of the height differential. miguel cotto will give it to paquiao, and if im wrong... I guess paquiao is just that good. if your a true boxing fan and wanna talk about the top dogs being pussies or wanna go back and forth on different topics that may come up... email me at myrespect@yahoo.com... looking forward to the other's opinions.
