By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. - As far as what has been reported on the Manny Pacquiao front, the Filipino Icon returns to the boxing ring on December 8th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The only formality seems to be who Pacquiao will be fighting on that date. According to promoter Bob Arum, he will have a press conference on the 18th of this month and on hand at this event will be Pacquiao and whoever it is he is fighting next. The two names being discussed are Juan Manuel Marquez and Timothy Bradley.

So why so long in figuring out Pacquiao's next foe? According to Arum, Pacquiao is being mature and taking his time over a decision.

Quoted recently in the L.A. Times in regards to who Pacquiao will face in December, Arum stated: “Manny is being mature in his decision. He’s taking his time, really thinking about it. Before, it was spur of the moment. Now he’s considering all of it.”
