    Do you agree?
    Not that Pac won't fight Floyd, but to get busy he will fight WW titleholder Cotto for greatness in history --- the 7th title. Yes, at 147.

    It's a surefire road to eventual top 10 ATG status.

    That would only be the case if he fought at 147, and it seems he wants a 143-4 catchweight.

    Floyd legacy wise would be much bigger than cotto regardless of title. A cotto match up would be great for the fans though-i think it would be a terrific fight.

    If I'm not mistaken, as long as the fight takes place under 147 Cotto's title would be on the line.

    a very good, elite fighter like cotto would be the icing on the cake for pacman. cotto is not one dimensional and has shown he has the heart of a warrior. it would be a great win for either fighter.

    I think I will agree w/ you that they should fight at l47 for the title. Pac can take a calculated risk on this

    No a mayweather win would give pacman the title of the best fighter of this decade and one of the best ever.

    a cotto win is nice but not as good as a mayweather win. Plus pac makes more money against mayweather fight than a cotto fight.

    :huh How does my post insinuate that I wish Pac to fight Mosley at 47? On the contrary, I'm completely against that idea for Pac. If he is to fight Shane it should be no higher than a catch weight of 143. Pac would be giving up too much natural power against Shane and his only way of countering that advantage is to drain him some for the weigh in.

    Completely agreed "Realspitts", I think that Mayweather easily decisions Pacquiao at whatever weight, which is why Pacquiao is looking at Cotto now.

    iF pAC BEATS C otto ithink it will be by decision, not by nock out. he will have to out box him. COtto will be the man going forward.
