    Pacquaio vs Cotto is where is at folk's, Floyd is a snoozer as talented as he is, he's just not exciting in the ring. He is a walking hit and run drama and that is not what the fans want to see. Pac vs Floyd would be like Floyd vs DLH an Overhyped stinker. Pac vs Cotto is a Guarranteed War that will propel boxing to new height's.

    Why not fight Tmothy Bradley or Edwin Valero at 140...his OPTIMAL weight. He can get as much if not MORE money than fighting those 147 guys.

    If they have both said that it sounds to me as though they have conceded that Floyd would win the fight comfortably.

    Exactly!

    And how would this dumbass wanna take the word of the one promoter who hates Floyd, and the one trainer who hates Floyd's daddy?

    What else are they going to say?

    Sounds like scared talk. Floyd has fought loads of exciting fights. Especially against guys he would be comfortable letting his hands go against, lil guys like Pac.

    It likely won't be made due to money. Floyd will want to command the most money, and Pacquaio won't budge, rightly fully so being the current P4P king and being a bigger attraction. Money was the primary reason why the negations halted briefly, and went back and forth between Hatton and Pacquiao.

    They should tell Mayweather that it's a 60/40 in Pac favor or have a nice day.

    it would be a boring fight. Everyone knows it. Pacs in a win win situation in this one. All he needs to do is stay outside and pick his spots w/o taking risks. You think Floyd will bring the fight to Pac? lol.

    This would be a decision and even if Floyd wins, unless is a dominant/devastating fashion, he loses. Theres going to be a discernible size difference once these two are in the ring.

    People will point out that damn that small guy was able to hang with Floyd.

    Next fight, Pac KOs Valero, hes on top again. Floyd either will be forced to fight Cotto, Clottey or Mosley

    It doesn't matter if it'll be a boring fight, it still needs to be made.

    are you kidding me? Bradley and Valero is the truth. It took what 10 rounds for your boy to finish off Hatton. 10...and the check hook from floyd ain't the british finish from Pac.

    Uhh yeah, if you werent such a noob boxing fan, you would know that Floyd fights southpaws with a high guard coming forward, you pressure south paws to break their rhythm. He fought Corley and Judah the same way.

    And since Pac is "smaller" he'll be more comfortable letting his hands go.

    This is the fight EVERYONE wants, you are stupid if you cant see that.
