Michael Loccisano/Getty Images What does the future hold for the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, Manny Pacquiao? His November 12th matchup with Juan Manuel Marquez is a good place to start.
Pacquiao-Marquez III
This is set up to be the best fight of the trilogy. Since it's the third time these guys will battle each other, each will come out swinging.
The first two matches were some of the most exciting fights you'll likely ever see. Although Pacquiao won the second fight by split decision, many believe Marquez should have won.
Flashback to the first fight that resulted in a draw. That decision also could have easily gone to Marquez.
Pac-Man won't want there to be any question about fight number three. He'll come out in an aggressive style and look to win this match right away.
Meanwhile, Marquez isn't in all that different of a situation. He recently lost to Floyd Mayweather, so many people don't think he deserves this fight.
Dinamita has a lot to prove. He can't afford to sit back and not engage.
No matter what you think of this fight ,or who you think should be facing Pacquiao, there's no denying it will be as exciting as ever.
Michael Loccisano/Getty Images These two both give each other fits and neither will lose without going down swinging. That's all you can ask for.
What's Next for Pacquiao?
Obviously some people are disappointed that Pacquiao is going up against Marquez for the third time as they believe there are better options out there. Assuming Pac-Man wins this bout, where does he go from there?
Honestly, there aren't a ton of realistic options out there.
Floyd Mayweather is who everyone wants to see, but for now it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. I know, I know, I don't like it either, but we have to live with it.
In the welterweight division there are only two other options:
Victor Ortiz, who just lost to Floyd Mayweather, and Andre Berto, who lost to Victor Ortiz earlier in the year. It's hard to argue either of those have a reason for getting a fight with the champ.
There's an intriguing option in the light welterweight division in Amir Khan, but with one minor problem—Pacquiao and Kahn have the same trainer and are good friends. A fight is unlikely.
That leaves Timothy Bradley who is currently on the Pacquiao-Marquez III undercard in November.
The 28-year-old Bradley is currently 27-0, but recently refused to fight Amir Khan. He might not be the most deserving of Pacquiao, but he will probably get a shot if he defeats Joel Casamayor in a month.
So there you have it. Pacquiao set for an uber-exciting fight with Juan Manuel Marquez but then a likely matchup with an undeserving Timothy Bradley.
