    ESPN reports Pacquiao will fight Cotto on November 14th on The Lead. I saw it in the Bottomline of SportsCenter this afternoon. But ESPN did the same thing with Vitali Klitschko vs. David Haye and we saw what happened with that fight.

    Pacquiao will most likely take it, the reason why they were waiting on it is because Pac wanted Mayweather/Marquez winner. Now that this fight is postponed he's better off with a stay active fight and Cotto should keep him active for a good 5 or 6 rounds.

    Pac wants this fight because he knows its soooooo winnable and Cotto is sooooooo hittable. After Pac wtached the fight he told Arum to get the fight done because of what he saw in Cotto.

    I see that too, ESPN actually says it at the bottom twice.... by boxing, says they're negotiating.... by the lead, says they will fight.

    interesting

    Mosley deserves a Pac fight more than Cotto. Lets see destruction of Margo versus Cotto's lucky gift with Clottey.

    Roach knows Cotto is an easier fight for Pac though and potentially more money in it as well thats why they are taking it.

    man some people are blind....this fight was always going to be made, it wasnt about Floyd vs JMM being postponed. Its about both fighters being Arum fighters, and its a win win for him no matter who wins.

    And another thing that people are blind about...Pac beatting Oscar and Hatton...Oscar was a Zombie and hatton isnt that good. Cotto is a beast of jungle, and Pac will have to take it in this fight. Its not going to be a case of Oscar doing nothing and Hatton throwing those wild hooks and using no D.

    If the fight is at a catch weight, Cotto will struggle to make that catch weight and be stopped. Watch how gaunt Cotto comes in because he looks gautn at times making 147, and was gaunt looking making 140. The Shame...

    I'm a Cotto fan and I think Pac takes this one. Hope for a Cotto win, but not likely right now. And Cotto has been looking gaunt lately a lot at 147, have to agree with Nallege on that. Think he's putting on too much weight between fights a la Hatton.
