Unbeaten six-time titlist Floyd Mayweather, former five-time champion Shane Mosley and WBC welterweight king Andre Berto are all top considerations as the next potential opponents for eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao, Top Rank Promotions' CEO Bob Arum told FanHouse on Saturday.

Arum has said that he has spoken this week to the promoter of Berto (26-0, 20 KOs), Lou DiBella, and that he has met "for about an hour and a half" as well as with Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) and his newly-appointed adviser, James Prince.

But Arum said that he has not been able to focus on a contact for Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs), who has been troubled with domestic and legal issues as of late but is coming off of May's unanimous decision over Mosley.

"There is nothing concrete with Mosley because it all depends on what happens with Floyd Mayweather," said Arum.
