    RingTV has learned that WBA junior middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto has agreed to the terms, other than resolving a few minor details, that will allow him to face Manny Pacquiao in a return bout on June 9 in Las Vegas at either the Thomas & Mack Center or the MGM Grand.

    Pacquiao scored a 12th-round stoppage of Cotto in November of 2009 to win the WBO welterweight title he currently holds. Since then, Cotto has stopped three consecutive opponents, but the rematch may depend on his ability to come down to 147 pounds.

    ****. Absolutely ****. If at 147, this is as worse than the Mosley fight. This would mean 3 out of his last 4 opponents will have been ones that I've disagreed with.

      - a cheater that didn't deserve a big payday. Was made more bearable because he was still a somewhat legit opponent that was going to give a good fight.

      - :-( Only being done to restore Manny's confidence.
    Can't defend this crap anymore.

    I think Cotto would give him a good fight and whatnot, but this is not what the people want to see.

    That article is from a couple of days ago, and Cotto's advisor said yesterday that they're not all that deep in discussions just yet.

    Does Bradley have a fight scheduled? Is Bradley a TopRank Fighter? Then what's the ****ing problem? If no FMJ...I am 100% on Board with a Bradley vs Pac fight!!!!

    Front page article here too. I'm actually hoping Cotto fights Floyd. Supposedly Canelo walked over the money offer so I don't see it happening though. I'm sure Cotto will want a bigger purse than Canelo and he has other options.
