The camps of
Manny Pacquiao and
Bob Arum are not taking seriously the announcement of Floyd Mayweather Jr. last Sunday that he’s taking a self-imposed one-year leave from boxing.
But if indeed Mayweather is determined to take a hiatus despite the proposed super showdown with Pacquiao on November 13, Arum will have no choice but to look elsewhere for a new foe for the Filipino boxing icon.
One of those being considered is Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, who just won the World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight title Saturday night (yesterday in Manila) in New York’s Yankee Stadium by knocking out champion Yuri Foreman.
Others who may be picked to faceoff with Pacquiao are Antonio Margarito and Juan Manuel Marquez, sports analyst Ronnie Nathanielsz said.
