Manny Pacquiao's Next Fight And My Thoughts About It

Manny Pacquiao's next fight is scheduled to take place in December this year, it was originally set on November but for some reasons, the Team Pacquiao decided to move the date.

The Team Pacquiao named 3 possible opponents for Manny's next fight, the names includes Juan Manuel Marquez whom Manny Pacquiao fought three times already with all bouts ended in controversy. Timothy Bradly who made a huge upset after beating Manny Pacquiao via controversial split decision to steal his WBA World Welterweight Championship. And of course, Floyd Mayweather Jr. who everybody believes should be Manny's next opponent.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is seems to look undecided in choosing who should be Manny Pacquiao's next opponent as if it there is still a million dollar fight left for Pacquiao, but I think he is just keeping the fans expecting and wandering who will be Manny's next opponent, but actually the answer is so easy. If there is one last million dollar fight left for Manny, it's a match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and no one else. It's a match for a generation, two of the best fighters facing each other to decide who is the No.1 man.

Why does Manny needs to face Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time? All that Marquez does is loosing and whining about his lost. Pacquiao beat him three times and that's enough. Timothy Bradley whom everybody believes robbed Manny Pacquiao of his title, if they believe that it Manny who won that fight, there is no need for a rematch. Just give that guy the belt as a gift because it seems he is not gonna be getting another one of that again.

But let me guess, after all of the guessing games, Manny Pacquiao is gonna end up facing either Timothy Bradley or Juan Manuel Marquez. Manny Pacquiao is very vulnerable in this times of his career, Bob Arum knows that and they will do whatever it takes to avoid a fight against Floyd Jr. In his Manny's previous match against Bradley, he was almost catching his breath and almost lost his stamina during the turning point of their match, and if he couldn't knock a guy like Bradley off his feet, what will it take to defeat a fighter like Floyd Mayweather Jr. who is still yet to taste his first lost?

Manny Pacquiao have lost hi full focus on boxing and was so busy in doing his other endeavours in showbiz and politics, while Mayweather although has been put to jail for two months still looks fresh and ready to go. And if you will analyze what's going to the mind of Floyd after Manny's lost from Bradley, I think that he(Floyd) feels confident that he could beat Pacquiao, and if he seemed to have avoided a fight against Manny during the previous years, I think he is more confident now and it's Team Pacquiao who will avoid a fight against Floyd Jr.

But again, this is just my own opinions, I don't know how those guys are thinking and things could change. But still, I am hoping to see the "Mega Fight" between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. It's a fight for a generation and it will rock the world!
