Boxing: Manny Pacquiao’s Top 5 Potential Next Opponents

Manny Pacquiao

1. Juan Manuel Marquez

As previously stated, JMM appears to have little to no interest in fighting Pacquiao for a fifth time.

Marquez got the satisfaction he had sought for so long after feeling he’d been cheated in two previous losses to Pacquiao.

With his devastating right hand blow, Marquez delivered what may be considered the best knock out in boxing history.

Why finish his legacy against Pacquiao any other way?

Unless a big purse can draw him back in, this fight has lost the steam it had after Marquez beat Alvarado nearly two months ago.

Furthermore, this fight would not be a huge PPV draw. It’s already happened four other times; no one will be overly excited to see the same fight again.
