    Please be JMM so either:

    - Pac can FINALLY be handed his loss or
    - JMM can FINALLY be knocked out cold.

    It has to be Cotto. If not then Lamont Peterson for sure. Pac wouldnt actually take a risk fighting Bradley or Marquez. Hell he wont even fight Cotto at 150. Goes to show what kinda champ Pac is.

    I'm definitely thinking that no matter what, they want Pac to look good.

    Bradley is kind of a spoiler with an ugly style and pretty tough. Eh...

    Marquez, well, we already know how that'll go. Double eh.....

    All in all, he would "look" the best against Peterson, but good luck selling that fight. A Peterson fight would be ridiculous, imo, seeing as how he lost to Bradley badly. There just isn't any justification not to fight Bradley.

    In the end, I think they'll flash enough money in front of Cotto and acquiesce on some of the catchweight amount to make the fight.

    They have no option but Cotto. With Marquez out of the picture, who else is there?, Bradley doesn't have a single big fight at welterweight.

    The Cotto fight better be at 154 or it will be pointless to watch.

    Agreed. I mean they could do decent with Peterson but you're right. Offer Cotto enough money and he'll come down to 147 i think.

    Bradley would be my first pick. Then Marquez. Cotto at 150 is pretty dangerous but these guys dont wanna take a risk esp after the ass whoopin Marquez gave em

    Yea definitely, I can't fault Pacquiao for not wanting to go down the Marquez route again, I mean, Pac just can't beat the man convincingly. He fronts like he's confident, but Marquez has his heart.

    Cotto anywhere above 152 and Bradley would be equally satisfying. Meaning, not what I want to see, but the best of the situation.
