    Personally I don't thimk there is nothing to spoil as I don't see Pacquaio and Mayweather fighting each other. As for Cotto, I'm a big fan of his but I can't see how he can beat Pacquaio, he will have to have the perfect gameplan, make no mistakes and improve his stamina tenfold imo.

    Marquez already spoiled it.

    They are not going to fight so there is nothing to spoil.

    It's pretty much been the same back and forth talk between them for what 3 years.

    I agree. With his new motivation, if they do fight i see it being much more competitive. But still i think Manny will come out on top.

    Never know...styles make fights and Cotto is legit. he's in a good place mentally, physically and emotionally which is great. I hope he secures a fight with either guy. I don't give him much of a chance to upset either P4P kingpin but you said it.... anything can happen.

    Cotto simply isn't good enough to beat Floyd and Pac has already demonstrated superiority over Cotto. The Floyd v Cotto fight would have been a good show prior to the Margo Plaster event, but since then it's become painfully apparent that, while he is very good, he is not P4P top 3 material. Unfortunately for him, he does not have the style to make up for that.

    Cotto has a better chance against Mayweather. He is adverse to facing relentless punchers, thus Pacquiao is wrong for him - it was shown in the first fight.

    Cotto would likely be on the front foot versus Mayweather, and if he were to use his jab as well as use his feet more rather than standing still head down in front, he could make it competitive for a period.

    Doesn't look like they need Miggy's help spoiling that fight.

    alas, I think a Floyd Cotto fight would be a complete shut out: Cotto is completely orthodox in his attacks and his fight plan is well timed but predictable, and his speed is only slightly above average.

    He has a far better shot of imposing a lucky shot and his strength on Manny than he has of fazing Floyd, that's an easy night's shut out for Floyd.

    He is much bigger than Manny and a skilled boxer, he might get lucky, but he'll never get lucky against Floyd with that orthodox left hook straight right style.

    From hence forth Manny will be seen as a fraud no matter what he does, he might as well take the ass whipping of his life on May 5th and save some type of face............................................................I can't truly believe Pac fans is about to give him a pass for the ducking thats taking place, not only is he about to duck Mayweather, people is completely disregarding he is about to duck Marquez who beat him easily 3 times, for a fighter he already brutally ko'ed, :lol:

    I done with supporting the charade on Manny's end, either man up and face May or Marquez, or go the **** away, no Margarito, Cotto, or Peterson every true boxing fan knows they are all blatant mismatches:patsch
