Mayweather, Pacquiao Select Next Opponents
Feb 8th 2012, 13:56

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have selected their next opponents and - to no one's surprise - they will once again NOT be facing each other.

On May 5, Mayweather will move up to junior middleweight to challenge Miguel Cotto for Cotto's WBA title.

Mayweather, who was granted a license despite facing an 87-day jail sentence, was supposed to begin his sentence on January 6 but the star of Venada pushed his report date back to June 1.

On June 9, Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley Jr..

There's no question that both Mayweather-Cotto and Pacquiao-Bradley are very good fights ... but there's also no question that fight fans would happily trade both for one - increasingly unlikely - Mayweather-Pacquiao bout.
