    all fight fans.

    1.) Will prime Cotto give Pac a tougher fight at the agreed weight of 145?

    2.) Do any of you think that Pac wanted to weaken Cotto, or even up the fight by fighting at a catch weight of 145?

    3.) Will JMM-coming up in weight give Floyd a true fight?

    4.) Is JMM just too small, and too old for Floyd?

    People say Cotto came in at 146 his last fight, yet some fans disregard why the ex jww and now ww champion Cotto was asked to come in at 143 at first. Cotto agreed to fight at 145, so what can we say...money talks, bullshite walks.

    JMM challenged Floyd, and Floyd is coming down in weight after a 2 year layoff to fight the former fw, sfw, and lw champ who has been known to weigh over 140 in fights at 126 and 130. Who is more formidable to Pac and Floyd...the strong, left hooking Puerto Rican banger, or the super skilled Mexican Marquez?

    After giving us your opinion/answer... please Vote!

    Which questions (1-4) do you think fight fans will ask the most? Vote!

    Floyd ain't got a good opponent at all. It's a mismatch.

    You can agree with an answer not with a question :)

    Cotto's damaged goods. Pacman will stop him

    You are going to bet on this or you just speak to insult Cotto and to eventually discredit Pac's win?

    I think Pac will simply stop him, not to do with him being damaged goods or anything.

    Here's why, i think Miguel Cotto is one of the finest examples of educated pressure in the world today, he can also box. When he boxes i think he is effectively not as good as when he assumes the role of educated pressure fighter, because at the highest level his defence is lacking, not good against Pacquiao.

    If he takes on his more effective role of educated pressure fighter, as good as i think he is there, i just don't see that as the right decision to make when fighting Manny Pacquiao.

    Bull****. Floyd's picking on an old guy WAY too small for him. Its a BS fight. Marquez only taking it cause he's a true warrior, unlike the ***** in the other corner

    and Marquez aint P4P3, he's P4P 1 or 2 according to everyone else

    Wait, what? We're voting to decide what fans want to know? Why do we need to know what we want to know the most?

    Anyway, I don't think Cotto will be drained and I honestly don't understand the catch weight, but whatever, I want to see the fight and it's a fair fight. Cotto will be heavier and stronger, Pac will be faster and is more skilled.

    For JMM-PBF, on paper, Floyd has a weight, height, reach, age and speed (and probably even skill) advantage over Marquez. The only disadvantage I see for Floyd is that he's coming off a long layoff, but considering that Floyd seems to have kept in shape during the layoff, I don't think it affected Floyd all that much.

    If Marquez doesn't carry the extra weight well, then game over for Marquez. If he does, it will be competitive but Marquez will still be the underdog. Even if you believe what Eze has been saying that Floyd "looks" smaller in his recent vids, that still means that Floyd has an age, speed, height, reach (and maybe skill) advantage over Floyd.

    And if he uses his sharp jab to disrupt Pac and also get him eventually with the left hook here and there?? I don't know I don't bet on this match because my hearth tells me Cotto and my mind Pac. But I think that people start to overestimate Pac and underestimate Cotto. I mean even the neutral fans.
