    Cotto by brutal beatdown followed then by a KO.

    I don't think Pac could beat any of Cotto, Margarito or Williams, so he should go back down to 140. I don't think he should go back to 135 because cutting that much weight could be detrimental.

    Manny is not a welter ... He should not be fighting anymore of these true welterweights.

    His area to do his damage is should be from 135 to 140 , and maybe some fights at a catchweight around 145 ( Like a mayweather showdown )

    Highly unlikely Pac will ever fight @ 147. Lets get this notion out of our head. The sooner the better.

    Against a guy like Mayweather yes, He would'nt weight more than 150ish on fight night, Manny can handle that.

    Apparently you don't know how boxing works either.... if Magarito drained 2 more pounds it could make a big difference for him ( not against manny , just in general )

    Most of the big welter's kill themselves to make 147, .. Plus I said a catchweight around 145, so 143-144 would make it impossible for a guy like Margarito or Paul Williams to make weight. Or if they did, they would be severely drained.... GET IT ? I know that you haven't ever boxed and just love to suck on Calzaghe's nuts... but still , hopefully I could teach you something.

    Cotto KO, i think Manny could be a force at LWW but should steer clear of the top boys at 147

    and no catchweight nonsense either. It's 140 for Pac's opponents or no fight.

    That's also what many people thought would happen when Manny fought Hoya.

    It's just hard to pick a prime natural lightweight against a prime natural Welter. At jr welter is where I think Manny could become #1 also, but as impressive as Manny's victory was over DLH, Oscar is neither in his prime nor a natural welterweight right now.

    I totally agree...Cotto's chin would be his downfall and who's to say Cotto would land many body shots on pacman...I honestly think Pacman will k.o. Hattan and beat Cotto...and thats coming from a puerto rican...:bbb
