It remains to be seen who exactly Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the sport?s two biggest attractions, will face next. While the thought of them finally meeting up with one another is of most interest, it?s a clash that doesn?t seem likely to happen next. Mayweather recently received a delay on a 90-day jail sentence he had been eyeing for January 6th and is again in the clear to pursue a May 5th assignment at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The two names having risen to the surface in the media that he may indeed fight are that of former champion Robert ?The Ghost? Guerrero and Mexican superstar Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez.
Pacquiao is coming off of a controversial majority-decision over Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12th and his promoter Bob Arum seems to prefer a June return for the Filipino idol. A fourth fight with Marquez, a rematch with junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, and fights with junior welterweight titleholders Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley are all said to be options for Pacquiao at this point.
