"I cannot hide my disappointment because after the third round, I was expecting Manny to finish him off early. They should start looking for a stronger opponent for Manny. (Floyd) Mayweather (junior), you're next."
Pacquiao, a congressman and widely regarded as the planet's best pound-for-pound fighter, registered a unanimous points victory over Mosley.

There was a sea of colorful umbrellas in Marikina City in the capital as fans braved rains to get a better view of huge TV screens set up in a crowded public park.
"We're happy that Manny won," said Cresencia Betino, 39, who celebrated Mother's Day watching the fight at a shopping mall in Pasay City.
