    Pac has declined significantly since the first fight, so I think it would easily be more competitive this time around.
    Cotto is still one of the biggest names out there and he has a nice fanbase so it kinda makes sense imo.

    Pathetic fight at any weight.

    Its been done.

    I wanna see Bradley vs Pac, who i think at this stage will give pac a few fits, but wont win.

    Cotto wil have ag reat chance this go around. Cant wait if they do make it. Would rather see this than bradley vs pacquiao which will be a snoozer.

    Cotto delivers every time out for pure entertainment value.I would love to watch the rematch with Pacman.

    I know why people dislike this fight but from cotto's perspective its great. He has the lennox lewis opportunity.

    i just cant see any logic at all why people will be supporting this bout... a sane Pinoy can clearly see that this is a bull**** move by team Arum.

    To be honest Cotto does stand a much better chance... He's a much better/ smarter boxer currently than ever before. BUT saying that I don't care about this fight. I still give him slim chance, and I'd rather watch Pac anybody decent at 147 or 154 that he hasn't already beaten.

    no he's not. He fought Yuri Foreman, Mayorga and Margarito


    Any somewhat skilled past their prime fighter can look good against those mannequins

    It's a horrible fight seeing as the last one was on sided. Maybe as Cotto's last fight? Idk. Hope nobody buys it.

    It's no more a mismatch than were any of Pacquiao's gimmes since Cotto I (other than Marquez III).

    The last fight was not competitive. But, it was dramatic. Casuals want to see drama, not textbook boxing. This matchup promises to be bloody, dramatic, and quite possibly end in a stoppage.
