    Would you really continue trying to pursue this 4th fight with Pacquiao? We all know he can hang right there with Manny, but he's 0-2-1, despite many believing he could have and should have won at least 2 of these fights. If you were him, do you think you'd keep trying to fight Manny or would you move on?

    I would move on, but apparently it's his son who urged him to fight on an pursue the fight. Hard to turn that down I guess.

    You want the best money fight. He can't fight Mayweather again. Besides, they were all great fights.

    No, another robbery so no point. I'd just get a title from a 4th weight if possible and then retire. JMM's problem is that he worries too much about a Pacquiao fight instead of ending his legacy off right. You aren't getting the decision just move on.

    If the 4th fight can't happenbI'd pick up a few wins and call it. Maybe try for the winner of Peterson-Khan.

    He proved that he can hang with Pacquiao no matter the weight, will go down as one of the best fighters of his era.

    If it is in Mexico - why not?
    I mean you are basically forcing Pac to KO you because he will not win by decision in Mexico, especially if a close fight.

    I think he just wants the official win that he deserves. Whether he fights him or not hes got my support, although he doesn't have anything else to prove that he hasn't at least twice already.

    Btw bogotazo where is the pic in your avi from?

    I think I'd personally just move on as well. Yes, they're big money fights, but he lives in Mexico, so that big money turns into beyond huge money there. Everyone knows he can hang with Manny, and it doesn't seem as if he can KO Manny, so he may never get the win.

    I have no idea to be honest. They took a bunch of pictures together when Cotto appeared on Golpe A Golpe, so I was looking for one of those in google, and came across this high definition one that may or may not be from that pair of occasions. Rare find!

    I would translate the Cotto-Margarito 2 breakdown, but they cut that out of the online video archive on the site from the episode. Those *******s.
