The biggest question in boxing right now is "who will Manny Pacquiao fight next?". Everyone in the boxing universe want to see Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr square off in the middle of the ring to prove who's the pound for pound best in the sport and who really deserves the honor of being called on of the greatest of all-time. Personally, I think Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest of all-time. However, it would take a 1st round KO over Manny to convince me that Floyd Mayweather Jr is one of the greatest. Honestly, I don't even see that happening in my worst nightmares.
Tonight's fight between Michael Katsidis and Juan Manuel Marquez will have a major impact on who might be the next fighter for Manny. Marquez is the "hot name" for Manny's next opponent due to their two close fights. Marquez was the last fighter to really give Manny a tough fight. However, Kastsidis is publicly demanding the same opportunity to fight Manny if he wins tonight over Marquez.
In an interview with notfight.com, Katsidis had the following to say about challenging the Pacman:
"I have a surprise for Juan Manuel Marquez. He gets outboxed by speed and likes to respond with punches, so I'll respond in kind. Marquez is used to dealing with aggressive opponents who fall into his game because they lacked technical imagination. I'm not the same kind of opponent. If I beat Marquez, not only am I going to be the absolute world lightweight champion of the WBO and WBA, but I also have a claim for a fight with Manny Pacquiao. I want to fight with the Filipino."
Should Manny even consider either of the two fighters?
