Outside of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Marquez might be the last big challenge Pacquiao has left, and the question of who comes next is something that will take a while to find out.
If that person is Mayweather, who knows exactly when the fight will happen? Whenever it seems close to happening, it gets cancelled due to strict demands and prefight fickleness.
If the eventual bout with Mayweather comes to fruition, it will take over a year to get both sides to agree to the terms, and maybe longer.
Mayweather has averaged one fight per year since his return to the ring in 2009. His latest victory came over Victor Ortiz in September.
Pacquiao has been a lot more active and has averaged two fights per year since 2009.
Let's hope he doesn't wait for Mayweather forever—there are a lot of other boxers we'd like to see him face, including Timothy Bradley, Amir Khan and Sergio Martinez.
