Who next for pacquiao?

After his dominant display last saturday,pacquiao now is some what back on track after a string of recent losses.Now the question everyone wants the answer to is,who's next for pacquiao?Below I've put the most likely candidates with arguements for and against them.

Juan manuel marquez
The last time pacquiao and marquez went head to head,pacquiao ended up on the wrong end of a devastating knockout.Since then marquez has lost to bradley and pacquiao has beaten rios,so naturally this fight makes sense.However this would be the 5th time these two tango,with previous fights always having an undecided winner even though the judges scorecards tell a different story.The last fight was a definitive victory for marquez and I'm not sure marquez would want to fight pacquiao again knowing the judges aren't exactly prone to giving him the decision.In terms of stock this won't do much for pacquiao,but it could do wonders for his confidence and it financially makes sense.

Timothy Bradley
Since his controversial win over pacquiao,bradley has put together a impressive record together,he has beaten a tough fighter in provodnikov which was an absoulte war and he recently beat marquez in a clinical display.There's no doubt a pacquiao bradley rematch would once again be the logical choice,both fighters stocks are relatively high especially bradley who some are putting in the top 5 p4p.Bradley also has improved since his win over pacquiao which would make it a very intruiging fight.But the loss to marquez hit pacquiao harder than the one to bradley,and in terms of avenging losses,the marquez one surely takes priority,however bradley ranks higher than marquez,and a win over bradley would do more for his stock than a win over marquez.Financially I think the marquez fight trumps this one.

Floyd Mayweather
The fact that the two best fighters of there generation have not fought in boxing is equilvalent to a mass killing on the streets,it's a horrific crime.I'm not going to go into who's to blame because we'd probably be here for eternity,but this fight remains the biggest bout for both fighters in terms of financial gain and the gain in reputation and legacy.Pacquiao in my opinion needs another victory before he can cement his position as number 1 contender for floyd.He's beaten rios,but that was a C/B class fighter,a win over a B+/A class fighter would get people talking again and the pacquiao/Mayweather hype train would come out of that long dark dark tunnel it's been submerged in.This is why I think a win over bradley would do more for pacquiaos stock rather than marquez,it could be the ideal stepping stone to finally getting the big super fight to happen.It would be the biggest fight in recent boxing history,I'm sure all ppv records would be smashed and the fight itself would leave us with no doubt about who really is the greatest boxer of this era.

Thoughts?

Marquez, He don't want it
Providnikov, He don't want it
And we all know Mayweather doesn't want it.

So that leaves Bradley

Would like to see Pacquiao face Broner and Garcia.

I no accountant, so I can't tell you what is going on, but he would not be the first boxer to have tax problems.

It will take a lot more than Pac's money for the relief effort in the Philippines. Pacquiao the icon will bring more money in than his wallet will.

Pacquiao is donating his entire purse from the Rios fight to the typhoon relief fund.
