    This is a crazy idea...but suppose Miguel Angel Cotto wins the middleweight championship. Would Uncle Bob think about making a Pacquiao fight? For a "in-house" superfight...A crazy notion sure...but one with $$$$ signs attached.

    This is the same guy who put together Hagler/Duran remember...Does history repeat?

    No chance!

    Pac dont got the balls to fight Cotto again, plus hes never fought at 154. He tried to make Cotto go back down to WW for a rematch when Cotto had been fighting at 154 for 3 years then.

    There is no way a man will refuse a fight against a man he already KO'd if the money is good. But IMHO Manny should do everything possible to fight Floyd. Forget Cotto

    cotto won't take the fight because they'd try and drain him.

    I think Cotto only signed a one fight contract with Arum. Win or lose I think he goes to GBP to fight Canelo at 154.

    Yes, but cotto changes trainers like he changes socks. I believe cotto will never fight at anything less then 154 again. There's a better chance at a mayweather rematch then Pacquiao rematch. Say cotto beats Martinez, then fights canelo and wins, a Floyd rematch would be huge. That's a big what if on my part.

    I don't think Canelo can make 154 anymore. Cotto winning would simply result in Canelo dropping the pretense that he is still a junior middleweight. It'd be at a catchweight for Miguels title if he wins.

    Pac would knock him out again. However, Cotto will get knocked out by Martinez.................
