    The only rematch that makes sense for Cotto is Mosley. He won a very close decision. Pac beat Cotto down for 11 rounds before stopping him. I just don't see a point of rematch here. Cotto - Mosley is a different story.

    I'm a Cotto fan, i want to see a Cotto destroy Foreman, destroy Berto in the fall, and make 2011 the year of rematch by fighting Margo early in the year, then Manny in the summer.

    At 154, and if Cotto looks impressive (i.e. KO) in beating Foreman, it can make sense.

    That is, if Mayweather/Mosley won't be available to fight Pac.

    I actually don't think he'll beat Foreman. I also don't think Pacquiao would fight him again unless he has a 154-pound strap, in which case it would be irresistible for him, probably.

    cotto had the chance to give pac a good fight, if miguel fought like what he did in the first round. that kind of fight would be more interesting than being a one-sided fight, so yes, pac-cotto II will be a good fight imo.

    Cotto may want this but I don't think Pac will fight him again. Cotto is a tough dude. Pac got busted up pretty bad in that fight. Pac defeated Cotto clearly and he does not have to do it again.

    That's the one I want to see. While Bradley's still got his strap and 0, to really be compelling. I think as long as he stays on his feet, he gives Pacman a very good fight. MAYBE even takes him, although I doubt it.

    This could be possible, Pac himself might think facing Cotto again could be an easy taking for an eight division title. But if Miguel Cotto shows a different dominant fighter against Foreman far from their last encounter performance, I don't think Pacquiao would.

    He took Cotto's belt and Cotto doesn't deserve a chance to regain it ? :nut

    When Cotto fought Margo he changed his style, he tried to get on his toes and box like Mayweather How did that work for him?? Pac did the same thing vs Morelas the first time how did that work for him. Calzaghe fought Kesslers fight in the first half of thier fight changed back to his style in the second half ans won the fight going away. The thing is you dance with the girl you took to the dance. Every fighter isnt a complete fighter and its not a simple matter of adapting to any fighter. You make it sound so simple maybe some of these fighters should hire you as trainer, that way you can tell them to adapt:bart

    Not every fighter has the skillset to take advantage of another fighters weakness. Margo couldnt do to Shane what Floyd did, Shane couldnt do to Cotto what Margo did, and so on. If a fighter has a weakness that is facing counterpunching you cant expect a fighter with slow hands and bad reflexes to take advantage of that. If a fighter has a weak chin you dont expect a fighter with NO power to take advantage of that. Its simple logic.
