Antonio Margarito 38-6 at 154 pounds for the vacant WBC light middleweight belt.

Miguel Cotto 35-2 rematch at 154 pounds for Cotto's WBA light middleweight title (which he won off Yuri Foreman).

Timothy Bradley 25-0 (current WBO junior welterweight title holder). Bradley would be coming up from 140 pounds to 147 to fight Pacquiao.

Andre Berto 26-0 (current WBC welterweight title holder).

Paul Williams 39-1 (holds no belts).

Shane Mosley 46-6 (holds no belts).

^ yes that would be a epic war for the simple fact that these 2 dont run for shit! they both warriors gonna be swinging till somebody drops! i really dont know why cotto's name is being tossed around for a possible rematch that make no sense whatsoever & mosley proved that he is passed his prime after that mayweather fight...

took the poll on top rank website. if you listened last night arum said he don't think people know enough about timothy bradley. but everyone voted bradley including myself. something about not giving him a free ride with the publicity fighting pac. every real boxing fan knows who bradley is. out of margarito, cotto and bradley. i want to see him fight bradley.

Margarito is going to look HUGE against Pacquiao especially at 154. It wont be a walk in the park for pac like it was for mosley, who fought at 154 for a while before going back down to 147. I know pac would beat margarito but it would be extremely tough. Remember pac is about an inch shorter than cotto and remember how small cotto looked against margarito.

I honestly think Pac has an easy time with Margarito .. that's right I said it. Margarito is slow as shit and uses his size to bully people and wear them down and I really don't see him catching Pac or touching him enough to make his size mean anything. Shit'll be target practice for Pac until Margarito goes down or the final bell rings.

i voted bradley but i said it before the fight ended tonight. bradley didn't have enough power with all the shots he landed for 12 rounds to even drop that dude from argentina. for his first fight at 147 it won't be any competition for pacquiao.

I voted Berto because I think pac unifying 147 is more impressive then winning a meaningless title at 154.

@naner I just don't see it being that easy for Pac. I mean let's be real, margarito never lost easily besides against Mosley and mosley is a monster puncher with a different skill set than Pac. Margs man he fought, beat and gave a hell of a fight to some serious opponents (paul williams, cotto, cintron, etc.). the only fight he looked bad in was against mosley and well, some of that could have been because he just got caught tryin to cheat - mentally, that would have to fuck with you at least a little bit going into a fight.

I know styles makes fights, and pac would have to try and dart in and out (like against oscar) to beat margs, which he would be successfull at but margs still has an iron chin and eventually he'd catch up with pac

I just don't see him eventually catching up to him. Pac isn't gonna fade away like Cotto and he'd have to catch up to him a decent amount to get him to that point which even if he does catch him I don't think he'd be able to do it consistently. I've been wrong before .. I just don't see it being very competitive.

I dunno. I think giving Margarito a huge fight like Pacquiao after what he did is kinda sketchy, even though the fight would probably be entertaining. The Cotto fight doesn't make much sense to me.

That being said the Margarito fight is the one that seems most realistic and easy to make. Would be crazy like mentioned, out of the country.

Cant even see P Will fighting Pac would be the weirdest fight ever. I vote Bradley but wouldnt mind seeing Mosley fight Manny cuz i think Mosley would fuck Manny up.
