    Would the Pacquiao vs Mayweather jr fight be more interesting?

    No.

    The question you should be asking is, if Bradley beat Pacquiao would anyone wanna see Manny vs Floyd?

    Because that is more realistic.

    Doesn't matter if the fight would be more interesting or not, because it will never happen! (the fight I mean)

    Absolutely. Don't be surprised if that's what transpires. Cotto is no slouch. He's a future HOFer and he's only 31 years old. When you put two good fighters in the ring, anything can happen. Cotto will be 100% ready both mentally and physically. This should be a fight that the fans will really enjoy.

    This.

    It's a bit funny how expectations go up when a fighter faces Floyd. It was the same kind of **** with Mayweather/Ortiz. I wonder how Cotto will find a way out?:oops::oops::oops: I hope it is not as disgraceful as Ortiz's attempt to get disqualified

    Doesn't change much unless Cotto somehow puts Floyd in major danger and Floyd has to go to war to win the fight and just edges him that way. Floyd winning quasi-close decisions where he didn't take much damage but just barely did enough to win has happened before(DLH).

    And if Bradley beat Pacquiao and/or Cotto beat Floyd, people would still want to see Floyd vs Manny, but a lot of the luster would be off the fight. It would still sell very well, but not record-breaking stuff.

    I would want to see (I do anyway) a Cotto - Pacman rematch at 154

    I prefer to see cotto vs pac 2 than floyd vs pac anyway, I would give floyd a lot of credit if he beats miguel, cotto is a good fighter.
