    IYO, what do you think of this fight?
     
  2. Its a good fight. Cotto would have a chance to put the final nail in the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather coffin once and for all.

    But if Pacquiao were able to repeat and stop Cotto AGAIN? Pacquiao vs. Mayweather suddenly has legs again doesn't it?

    Yes, I believe it is. Unless it takes place at 154.

    Cotto pulls nice fights by beating one legged Foreman, almost smoke free Mayorga and one eyed Margarito.
     
  6. Pacquiao would stop Cotto again.

    Pac is not going to stop Cotto a second time, forget it, he's lost a step

    Cotto should face Canelo next

    If Cotto fights Canelo it means you also it's also OK to see PAC fighting Canelo at 154lbs?! For a boxer who started at 106lbs?!:lol:

    As a huge Cotto fan, all I've been thinking about is revenge. I never considered that Cotto might actually lose, but you are right. If Pac once again looks more impressive against a common opponent, they hype begins again.

    I think Cotto would stop Pacquiao at 150.

    If Pacquiao turns up ends the same way even if there's no catchweight. If not it won't be as spectacular but I think pac can get the win.

    Is it pointless? If pac does it at catch weight most will say it is. If not then it has something to stand on but he's beat him already and even at 154 there will be those who question it. Better off taking another opponent. Bradley 2 and maybe another fight with Marquez.

    Running out of opponents, make the fight with floyd

    ^ This. What will a second fight prove, using Cotto as a common denominator so as to compare Mayweather and Pacquaio as they try to 1-Up each-other. Even though the moment has passed somewhat, they should just fight, I mean surely it can't be THAT hard. For Pacquaio, what will a rematch with Bradley prove? Why a 4th match against Marquez? Options aren't too abundant for Mayweather either. Near the end of their careers, handful of fights left, why rematch people they have already beat e.g. Cotto. The only fight fans should buy is Pacquaio-Mayweather in my opinion

    Is he going to fight him at 154? Then sure it means something. If not **** that.

    I dont mind this fight

    Fight 1 was pretty good

    Manny is on the slide and Cotto just had a great performance

    Cotto probably learned a lot from fight one seems rejuvinated and in a good place with the right team

    Pac has 3 fights that makes sense

    Floyd

    Bradley

    Cotto
