    Is Pac picking Cotto as his next fight because of how vulnerable he looked against Clottey or simply because it is the easiest fight(less obstacles) to make:think

    Cotto looks like the path of least ressistance, so of course Pac will pick him, as usual.

    Mayweather was afraid to fight Cotto for a good reason.

    Easiest as compared to what?

    Mayweather, Marquez, Mosley?

    Cotto is an excellent fight,....he is the 2nd or 3rd guy at welterweight, how could this be an easy fight

    Out of all the possible candidates that Arum has listed for Pac, Valero is clearly the easiest fight.

    The answer is No. Easiest is Valero

    Cotto is a name fighter, money fight.

    IMHO, cotto is the easiest (in comparison to Mosley, Mayweather) fight, in the sense that he's the easiest to hit among the big guys of the welterweight division. Shane is the biggest, has some great speed and defense, and a pretty solid chin, i think... while Mayweather... well, we all know his attributes. Still, from an offensive standpoint, Cotto's probably tied w/ Mosley on having a good offensive abilities, w/c could give Pac some punishing hits and might slow or stop him in the long run.

    Compared to Mosley and PBF? I say it's the easiest but isn't really "easy".

    If you add JMM in the mix I would go for JMM as the easiest @140 since I doubt JMM would carry the weight well (but, I also felt that Pac v JMM 2 would be easy for Pac, boy was I wrong, lol)

    If you add Valero then definitely Valero, but he really doesn't belong in the list anyway.

    With Mayweather/Marquez postponed Pac doesn't have any better option so it's better off done to stay busy.

    Please dont mention Valero vs. Pac he is the least worthy of fighting pac

    Valero has been fighting bums his whole career.
