    Pac vs Mayweather
    Pac vs Mosley
    ---------------------
    Pac vs Bradley
    ---------------------------
    Pac vs Alexander
    Pac vs Valero (for fireworks sake)

    are the fights i want to see, in order with the groups being seperated into ones boxing needs, to the one id like if nothing else is available, to entertaining scraps with undefeated young champions... not pac/marg, and until Cotto shows me hes regained some lost luster, not Pac/Cotto 2. Cotto has too much to work on and do before hes ready again for Pac, imo. As a big fan of Cotto its not that i dont want him to have the chance, but its just im not sure he will be ready, ill make my judgement on the fight after i see how Cotto looks under Steward and how he handles Foreman.

    I think if PBF/Mosely rematch then Pac would go after Margo isn't?

    If Pac/Cotto 1 was in the ballpark of close, I'd say maybe having Steward could change things.

    But the beatdown administered by Pac in that fight was so one sided, so absolute, that it will take alot more than a trainer to get Cotto to beat Pacman. If Steward can get Cotto to grow an extra set of useable arms that he could glove up or something Pac/Cotto 2 might be interesting.

    :patsch Damn, if Cotto does get that "title" at lmw, and they arrange Pac/Cotto 2, that is the most obvious cherry picking I've ever seen.

    That is the (one of many) issue with multiple titles, it is too easy to win titles in multiple weights, although it much more the alphabets' faults than Pac's I wouldn't blame Pac going for an 8th title but I would still much rather see Pac fight Mayweather / Mosley, Bradley or Alexander

    as a cotto fan, i really see no point in making this fight. if cotto had been able to make the first fight competitive, i would be down, but it's just gonna be the same brutal ass kicking all over again. i really don't want to see cotto get beaten to a pulp over 11 rounds yet again.

    Thanks for making my point. if a boxer can not adapt to his opponent's style, he shouldn't be boxing. I believe they should try street fighting. You gave Pac as an example. I bet you, if Pac and JMM fought today, Pac will KO JMM in six. Did you see how Pac fought DLH, Hatton and Cotto. Did you think it was all the same style. Hell NO. Oscar only managed to land his left no more than three times. That was because Pac was trained to avoid it. Had Oscar landed that hook significantly early on, that fight would have been different. Even when he had Oscar in the corner, he was still cautious, in and out, not like he did to Cotto and Hatton. That just meant he had more respect to Oscar's power, though Oscar was obviously looking tired.

    Styles make fights. Loads of BS. If you are a come-forward boxer, they don't bar you from going backwards, holding, running, etc. Boxing is all about winning. You can fakking run and pot-shot all night long if you have to, just get the fakking win, not that you'll win. It is that fakking simple. Again I say, if you can not adapt to any fighter, drop your fakking trainer once you got your name established, you don't need him.

    But don't worry hudson, I still pick your boy Floyd over Pac, should they fight.

    Why would he want this? Pacquiao is still faster and his chin is still suspect. I guess we'll see how Cotto takes to Stewart's training.
