After the June 28 fight with Diaz, the next big question is Who Will Be Manny Pacquiao’s Next Opponent? Here's a list of possible opponents of Pacquiao:
- Edwin Valero, currently WBA Super Featherweight Champion and has the biggest chance of being the next opponent of Pacquiao.
- Ricky “Hitman” Hatton: As declared, Freddie Roach, Pacman's trainer, wants him to be the next Pacquiao's opponent. Hmmmn, might be.
- Nate Campbell, WBA, WBO and IBF Lightweight Champion and since the only title missing is the one currently on Pacman’s waist, there's a possibility they will face in the ring.
- Joel “El Cepillo” Casamayor will fight Juan Manuel Marquez on September. If ever he wins, again, there's a possibility he'll be the opponent.
Pacquiao defeated several Mexican boxers namely Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, and recently David Diaz. No doubt, he is dubbed as the "Republica Enemy No. 1". So who's name will be included in the list?

Gormagon or Gormogon - Bones TV Episodes
Tags Television News
The Gormagon, or Gormogon, from Bones TV series is a cannibalistic serial killer and believed to be a mythical monster who kills and eats its victims.
Beginning with the season 3 premiere titled "The Widow's Son in the Windshield", the Jeffersonian team has been investigating a cannibalistic serial killer they call The Gormogon, for his obsession with secret societies and his targeting of the Knights of Columbus.
The origin of the word may be as a variant of "gormagon", which was defined in The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue as "A monster with six eyes, three mouths, four arms, eight legs, five on one side and three on the other, three arses, two tarses, and a cunt upon its back; a man on horseback, with a woman behind him."
