I began to write an article explaining Manny Pacquiao's accomplishments and listing the top fighters he's beaten. But I realized he showed who he was last night when he dominated Oscar De La Hoya like no other boxer has done.

Without further ado, I'll just get down to business like the Pac-Man and list which fighters I feel would be his top opponents.

 

If Pacquiao stays at the (147 pound) welterweight division...

1. Floyd Mayweather (39-0)

Mayweather the former best P4P fighter that retired with an elite few as undefeated from the sport would be a real dream match former P4P vs current P4P fighter.

Floyd known for his flamboyant personality has been known for turning away dangerous opponents, but he may be persuaded by the possible pay day the fight could bring.

 

2. Antonio Margarito (37-5)

Margarito scheduled to face Sugar Shane Mosley in Jan. Has just came off a dominating performance against Miguel Cotto. If he's successful against Mosley he will continue to show he is among the best today.

Since he has been unsuccessful setting a match up against DLH, a fight against Pacquiao will give him a chance to do what no other Mexican fighter has been able to do defeat the Pac-Man.

 

3. Miguel Cotto (32-1)

Cotto Scheduled to fight in Feb. for the vacated welterweight title that ex champ Paul Williams gave up to move to junior middleweight. Cotto is to face Jennings from England in which this is a fight many expect Cotto to win.

If Cotto was to regain the title this would give Pacquiao a chance to ad another division championship to his resume, and give Cotto a huge win and a shot back at the top.

 

4. Shane Mosley (45-5)

Sugar Shane Mosley has proven time after time he is always ready to step up to the plate. Mosley has fought boxers that claimed they were been overlooked by big named fighters. Such as Vernon Forrest, Ronald Wright, Miguel Cotto, and know he's scheduled to fight Antonio Margarito in Jan.

Although he's been unable to beat the three boxers that I named they are the only results to his defeats. If he could defeat the Margarito and then go onto to fight Pacquiao It would be a great victory for either fighter.
