By Daven: Following his dominant victory over Tim Bradley in April, there has been many names touted around in regards to Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent. The usual suspects such as Marquez, Alvarado, Ruslan Provodnikov and Mikey Garcia have all been floated. However over the weekend a source close to Bob Arum leaked the names of Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez. If the fight was to take place it would be for the WBC middleweight championship, amazingly this would present Manny the chance of acquiring a ninth divisional world title belt.
Although, as of now nothing has been finalized, a fight featuring Pacquiao-Martinez or a rematch with Cotto would be a big seller. Moreover it would be truly fascinating to see, especially if it ends up being Martinez-Pacquiao owing to Sergio’s far superior height in contrast to Pacquiao. Naturally any potential fight for the WBC belt for Manny would have to be at a catch-weight of around 155lbs.

By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao signs an extension with Bob Arum’s Top Rank promotional company, we could be seeing the 35-year-old Pacquiao in with Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez, Mike Alvarado, Ruslan Provodnikov and Juan Manuel Marquez, says Arum to RingTV. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA/WBC light middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KO’s) hasn’t beaten his next scheduled opponent WBA light middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-1-2, 12 KO’s) yet, and already Canelo’s trainer Jose “Chepo” Reynoso is looking past that fight for a much hoped for clash against Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s) for later on this year.
By Dan Ambrose: A fight between former WBA World junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (32-2, 9 KO’s) and Jorge Melendez (28-3-1, 26 KO’s) is being talked about for the June 7th undercard of the Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez fight, according to Dan Rafael. The card is still being formed at this point, but it’s looking too good as far as undercard fights go. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KO’s) expects to ruin the goal of Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s) of him winning a fourth division world title when they meet each other in two months on June 7th on HBO pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. Sergio has no doubts in his mind that he’ll be knocking Cotto out, and keeping his World Boxing Council 160lb title. 
By Dan Ambrose: Freddie Roach, the trainer for Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s), is having him bulk up for his June 7th title challenge against WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KO’s) at Madison Square Garden in New York. Cotto is already a big fighter who weighs in for his junior middleweight fights in the 160s, but Roach wants Cotto, 5’7”, to add more muscle so that he can compete better against the 5’10” Martinez for the fight. 
By Allan Fox: WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s) has the power in his two fists to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) in their Showtime pay-per-view fight on May 3rd, according to Sergio Martinez. He knows what Maidana is capable of doing if he can connect with his big punches from watching many of his past fights, and he thinks he could pull off a major upset against the Broner-like Mayweather Jr.
