A devastating win by Manny Pacquiao against David Diaz in 135 float made many speculations whose next for Pacquiao in the square world.

Could it be Britain’s Ricky Hatton whose only defeat was of Floyd Mayweather? The fighter who is now in the list by many spectators could draw bigger green bucks if they got the chance to square off in the next bell ring?

And many believe, he is the best in the list?

The undefeated Edwin Valero is also in the green light. But the boxer is presumably over rated and could not stand the punching power of Pacman. Many believe he could not stand that long… six rounds is the best world for him.

And then, again, the great Oscar Dela Hoya. It would be a mega-bout if these would happen. If Pacman wins again Oscar, then, trainer Freddie Roach can pull now the gloves off the hands of his favorite fighter and hang it in his gym.

Floyd Mayweather is in the hopes of many aficionados, but I think, the chance would be 80 to 20 percent. He is in the helm and he doesn’t want that to be broken.

There are many prospects in the higher weights, but in the 130, I think, there is no one can stand in him.
