The Manny Pacquiao Next Foe Sweepstakes is up for grabs. Boxing experts has already given their opinion, here's what the Pacquiao insiders has to say:

Edwin Valero

Bob Arum kickstarted the conversation when he said Valero is Pacquiao's next opponent during an interview right after the Pacquiao vs Diaz bout.

The media pick up on Bob's statement, speculating whether Valero is ready for Pacquiao's fists.

Coach Feddie Roach on the other hand reiterates his first choice for Manny Pacquiao's next opponent: Ricky Hatton.

But because Hatton would be unavailabe due to a scheduled fight with Paul Malignaggi, Roach would like to Manny to fight Valero.

Roach said he had told Arum about his opinion about Valero, who is a more attractive opponent that Soto, "who just lost."

Humberto Soto

But a problem with Valero's medical clearance and a question mark on his US marketability, prompted Arum to shift gear, Soto is next. Humberto Soto challenged Pacquiao right after the Diaz bout. The Pacquiao vs Soto tiff almost happened a year ago.

"It’s okay that I fight Soto, especially since he beat my brother Bobby," said Pacquiao.

"I will not make a decision until I talk with Manny," said Arum. "But right now we are looking at Soto and while people are saying that Manny should fight in big-money fights, Manny has to keep busy because we will be doing the Hatton fight next year. Soto is excited to fight Pacquiao and he will be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight for Pacquiao."

Nate Campbell

Meanwhile, Team Pacquiao dislike the Pacquiao vs Sotto proposal, prefering instead a Pacquiao vs Campbell unification match. Campbell himself is challenging Pacquiao. Bob Arum made an effort in the past to make the Campbell fight a reality, but it looks like the deal didn't materialize.

Ricky Hatton

Former WBC featherweight and superfeatherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera on the other hand advices Manny Pacquiao should avoid fighting either Valero or Soto, and should instead concentrate on Ricky Hatton next year.
