Who's Next for Boxing's Finest

After the victory of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao last Sunday against former WBC Lightweight Champion "Dangerous" David Diaz, many people was wondering "Who's next for the People's Champ?"

For me, the biggest challenger for Manny is still Juan Manuel Marquez, who almost beat the Pacman during their bout earlier this year. Only Marquez provided Pacquiao with a real toe to toe challenge from the starting bell. Not Barrera, not Morales, not Diaz, it' s Marquez!

I think Hatton is the better opponent for Pacman. The Hitman will provide the perfect test on who the Man really is.

Should the fight happens at 135 lbs and Marquez chooses to fight the same way as the previous two fights, and it goes down again to the scorecards, it will be another bitter experience for him. Boxing judges will always look favorably to Pacman's agressive sytle than Dinamita's counter-punching style. But the way Pac demolished Diaz I doubt if it will go to the scorecard the third time around.
