After destroying Oscar, who is next for Manny Pacquiao?

Manny Pacquiao's domination of Oscar De La Hoya was so thorough, so complete, it is hard to imagine who will be able to give Pac Man a good fight. Well, of course, we have some ideas.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: A few weeks ago we suggested that a Pac Man-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight would rank among the biggest in history. We still think so and with Manny's dominating performance against Oscar, it should serve as even more motivation for Pretty Boy Floyd to come out of retirement. While somewhere in Las Vegas mansion Floyd was probably thinking, boxing is really going to miss me! Not any more. Manny is essentially relegating Floyd irrelevant. Thus, fueling the fire for a return.

Ricky Hatton: That was the name most often tossed around on fight night. It makes sense. Manny has expressed a desire to move back down to 140 pounds and Hatton is the biggest name in that division. I've heard they are talking about that fight in the new Wembley Stadium. It's a great fight for Manny on the way to a Floyd showdown.

Antonio Margarito: A logical choice if Manny were to stay at welterweight, but it seems that he has decided to drop down to 140. Margarito presents a far more difficult challenge than anyone else simply because of his size (he is a huge welterweight), his power and his ability to absorb a punch. This fight may be best fought at a catch-weight of say 144.

Miguel Cotto: Could be a great action fight. Perhaps even at a catch-weight of 144 pounds. At this point, do the titles even matter? Cotto would probably make 144 easier than Margarito. Remember, Cotto moved up to welterweight after dominating 140.

Yuriorkis Gamboa: The Cuban star has just the right style to mix with Manny. This fight may still be a ways off, but keep an eye on Gamboa as a potential opponent for Manny is he drops back down in weight.

Paul Williams: The southpaw just moved up to 154 pounds and won a title. He defeated Antonio Margarito at welterweight. He may not be a big enough name to fill out the dance card with Manny, but if Pac Man desires a title at a new weight class, this could be the ticket.

Juan Manuel Marquez: Would anyone mind seeing this for a third time? I'd pay to see it again
