• Had a quiet dinner with a few people Friday night, including HBO's Larry Merchant and Freddie Roach, who trains Khan and, of course, Manny Pacquiao. Roach is headed to the Philippines on Sunday along with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum for Pacquiao's birthday party. While they're there, they will discuss plans for Pacquiao's next fight. Arum seems set on matching Pacquiao with Shane Mosley, although Juan Manuel Marquez and Andre Berto have also been discussed and Arum has taken proposals from all three. I asked Roach for his list in order of preference, even though he won't make the ultimate decision. He prefers Marquez, followed by Berto and Mosley. Roach said he believed the public would more prefer Marquez, who fought two close and outstanding fights with Pacquiao. He also said Marquez deserved the fight. Like so many, Roach said he didn't want Pacquiao to fight Mosley because "nobody wants to see it. Look at Shane's last two fights. Who wants to see it?" Mosley, of course, is 0-1-1 in those fights with a lopsided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and a woeful draw with Sergio Mora. I'm with Roach.

Ya bro SSM is going hard for the fight! He has been on a tear lately on TWITTER slamming DLH and retweeting some tweets from fans talking shit about DLH and GBP. But I DO NOT want to see Pac kill SSM at this point like I DID NOT want to see him blast out Margo. But Arum will do it and the fight will get around 700-850k in PPV sad but true!

Marquez is the one who deserves the fight. Berto-Mosley should fight each other early 2011. I actually agree with FAt Man Dans logic for once.

I don't care anymore. I'm pretty sure I won't order the fight unless the undercard is stacked. I'll probably watch the 24/7 and a stream.

I don't mind seeing how Mosley measures up. If he doesn't have it anymore, Pac is certainly the guy to help him retire. Same with JMM.

I have a lot of questions about Berto I need answered. And I think he's the only guy who could help me answer some questions I have about Pac, assuming Berto doesn't get blown out early.

Really when was this ?

I wonder if Freddie can be the voice of reason over in the Philippines, however I fear Arum and that devious leach Mike Koncz will sway Manny towards Mosley.
