    With Miguel Cotto already beaten, Antonio Margarito about to get his turn, Ricky Hatton, Joshua Clottey and Oscar De La Hoya all beaten by Manny Pacquiao, who is actually left besides Floyd Mayweather Jr. for Pacquiao to fight? Of course, Bob Arum will be putting Pacquiao back in with Cotto next year in a rematch that few boxing fans want to see, but who comes after that for Pacquiao? Will Arum let Pacquiao fight guys outside of Top Rank like Andre Berto, Timothy Bradley, James Kirkland, Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams or Amir Khan or will Arum just continue to keep Pacquiao fighting his table of fighters in Top Rank.

    I don’t know how much longer boxing fans will be willing to pay to see Pacquiao fight guys like Clottey, Margarito and Clottey before they tire of it and start ignoring his fights. Arum needs to look for some new blood that boxing fans really care about seeing with Pacquiao. Mayweather is the fight, but once that happens – or doesn’t happen – where does Pacquiao go? Does he retire or just continue to trounce Arum’s fighters for the remainder of his career.

    Manny is just going to demolish all the fighters Arum has. Dude should retire after Mayweather takes his skirt off and step in the ring.
