Ever since the back and forth negotiations with Floyd Mayweather Jr. fell apart, people were wondering who Manny Pacquiao was going to fight. Rumors had him fighting Paulie Malignaggi (which made no sense considering he was the 1st to accuse Manny of doping) and Yuri Foreman, who didn't post much more of a threat to Manny than Paulie did. Neither of these were well received by boxing fans, and apparantly Bob Arum and Pac's team heard that loud and clear, because Manny is reportedly set to fight Joshua Clottey on March 13th 2010, site to be determined.
I think this is a better fight than Foreman/Paulie, even though I think Manny will still dominate. It's nice to see him taking on a bit of a tougher fight than we had heard.
Now we'll see who Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight. Rumors had him fighting either Matthew Hatton in Wembly Stadium (which would be a joke of epic proportions) or Paulie Malignaggi (which would still be a joke, but not as big of a joke).
I'd personally like to see him take on a Shane Mosely, Miguel Cotto or a Paul Williams. And yeah, Miguel Cotto lost his last fight, but Floyd didn't have a problem fighting Zab Judah immediately following a loss.
I think who Floyd chooses to fight will speak volumes on whether or not critics are correct in saying that he tends to pick fights against people who have no chance to beat him and take his beloved perfect record away from him.
