"I just want to tell Pacquiao to do the right thing for boxing. I think you guys should put a poll up and let the Philippine fans vote which one they think would be a bigger fight and who they want to see Pacquiao fight next, Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto! Let's see who the Philippine fans want Pacquiao to fight next," stated WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley as he expressed his desire to find out once and for all who the fans really want to see Manny Pacquiao face next.
Mosley continued, "The only person that's stopping the fight is Bob Arum. Bob Arum has his own investments into the fight as far as him wanting to re-sign Cotto and get him a big fight. Then he has Pacquiao. He will give Cotto a little money to keep him happy because he really doesn't deserve any of it. And then he will throw Pacquiao something out there, but the bigger fight is me and Pacquiao. We have the biggest names by far and Pacquiao's legacy wouldn't be damaged losing to me. I don't understandÂ…well, I do understand what Bob Arum wants to do, but I wouldn't understand why Pacquiao wouldn't take the fight."
So who should Pacquiao fight next? Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto? Although it's unlikely to change Bob Arum's opinion, if the fans would rather see a clash between Mosley and Pacquiao, perhaps they can make a difference when it comes to Manny's next opponent.
