Manny Pacquiao is ready for a rematch if Floyd Mayweather Jr. decides to come out of retirement again.

Pacquiao left the ball in Mayweather's court following his seventh-round knockout of Lucas Matthysse on Sunday, which marked the 60th career victory for the Filipino boxer.

"Mayweather? If he decides to go back to boxing then that is the time we are going to call the shots," Pacquiao told reporters, according to ESPN. "I have the belt, so it's up to him. If he wants to come back in boxing let's do a second one."

Another person Pacquiao has his eye on is Amir Khan.

"Yes that's a potential opponent; Amir Khan," he said. "There's a lot of potential opponents there, like Lomachenko, there are so many fighters that have potential to be my opponent next."
