    PAC going up @145 to fight a prime young Cotto?
    or
    Cotto going down 1lbs to fight at a catchweight?

    Cotto by far. He has so much to lose. If he win's theyl say, you see pac was too small. He has no buisness fighting welter's. If cotto loses, LOL LOL LOL he lost to a smaller guy. Cotto is exposed ect....

    Pac really has nothing to lose. His greatness is already sealed, hes made his money, if he loses, no shame in losing to a bigger guy. If he win's, then thats just adding to the legacy.

    At least both guys are looking to make alot of money tho :rasta

    Pacquiao isn't just taking a theoretical risk, he's risking his physical well being going in against a mini mac truck like Cotto.

    Ridiculous question, even if it is rhetorical propaganda.

    No I think that it's more about being dissapointed at manny for making such a ridiculous demand. Judging by your post you clearly don't think that the 145 weight makes a difference so why go on and on about it. Fight at 147 and move on with it.

    how about risking his health for fighting bigger guy and not just go ahead and fight bum out there. pac can fight valero, campbell, mosley or JMM but he is now fighting a young and unofficially undefeated Welter.

    Pac is risking more in terms of health and well being, but Cotto is risking more in terms of his reputation.

    reputation, I don't think so. winning over p4p champ and who beats the golden girl and hatton... that quite an achievement.

    fail. not both of them are looking at the same kind of money.

    pac risking his p4p title could lose a much bigger fight vs floyd that will make him more money and recognition than this shitty fight.

    and for the same reason you pointed out, even if he wins pac does not add to his legacy EXCEPT for that fvcking belt.

    cotto knowing that and threatening to give that up is really bitchy. really shows how "manly" this puerto rican is.

    Nope, he has a loss. And even IF, this is just speculation, IF margo had those loaded gloves, i dont think it would make THAT much of a diff, margo's style is just all wrong for cotto. He can take all of cottos shots and keep coming foward... Cotto has always been known to gas late in fights, margo is just a bad style match up for cotto.

    Unoffical undefeated welter my ass :yep

    Fail? How about you fail? This isnt a shitty fight. Pac is looking to make huge money without taking that much of a risk.(this fight is way less risky then May or Mosley).

    Pac is looking to make alot of money, against a fighter most pick him to beat. Against Mosley, or Mayweather, im pretty sure hed be theunderdog or the fights would be even.

    so, you fail jackass
