    Since he's the least hard puncher of the three, Mayweather might actually do the most damage of the three if Pacquiao can take his shot but not the others.

    Like Judah getting stopped early on against Tszyu because his right hand made Judah do the Brooklyn shake. Mayweather and Cotto couldn't land that sort of shot on Judah, so Judah ended up looking like he'd been beaten with a hammer after facing those two guys.

    I think Pacquiao will be able to handle Cotto's shots though and win the fight.

    You got a point but what's more scary a Judah beaten with a hammer or a Hatton hit with a baseball bat? Numerous softer punches looks damaging but one punch KO is just scary... it could kill you...

    Nearly all the deaths/serious injuries come after prolonged beatings that go awhile, not one shot KOs.

    Not that I think or hope it'll happen with Mayweather (or anyone mentioned for that matter).

    Well we all have different opinions. In Pacquiao`s defence, fighting and beating Mosley will mean nothing compared to beating Cotto and Mayweather because if Pacquiao BRUTALLY beats Mosley, he will not get the credit that he deserves. On the other hand, beating Cotto will be alot better, he is young and explosive. Although, the fight would be at a catchweight of 145 I don`t think that there would be alot of difference. Cotto only weigh-in at 146 during the Clottey fight. 1 pound will not slow or deminish his power.

    Mayweather is the safest fight. I don't see Mayweather knocking Manny out, and even if he loses people will still give him credit. Manny also has a good chance as Mayweather has been troubled before by fast, pressure southpaws (Judah) and Manny is a leagues above Judah.

    On the other hand Cotto and Mosely are live WW and I don't know how Manny is going to handle the power of these guys. These are VERY risky fights and could end in Manny being KO'd. We've never seen his chin tested against big, strong guys like this.

    Mayweather fight Manny risks losing. Cotto and Mosely fight Manny risks getting BRUTALLY KO'd.

    U really hate Floyd don't you? I posted a topic about how Shane ducked Floyd complete with video, Larry Merchant practically begs him to fight and he says no. Now people heard Shane say it and still refused to believe it or made excuses for him. Its funny how two people can see and hear the same thing but come to totally different conclusions.

    If you want to see the video for your self check the link below.

    In terms of least amount of risk for Pacquiao
    1.Cotto. It will be interesting to see how much longer he lasts than Hatton. Expected result Pacquiao by mid to late round ko.
    2.If Mosley brings his "A" game he beats Pacauiao but he sometimes only brings his "B" game and that won't do against Pacquiao. Result Mosley by compitive decision (if he brings his"A" game)
    3. Mayweather is only smaller than Mosley. He has more skill than Pacquiao and underated power. Result Mayweather by clear decision.

    I think Floyd Mayweather Junior is very dangerous for smaller guys! It has been proved before. Even Floyd knows him, he owns lil' buds:yep

    I voted Cotto but all 3 are dangerous fights in their own right.

    The speed of FMJ & Mosely would likely pose Pac a lot of problems, Cotto is actually quite slow & if Manny is to beat Cotto, Id imagine the speed factor to be very decisive.

    Mayweather is the worst pick as he is the better fighter of the 3 & the only one Id be really confident to beat Pacquiao - not saying SSM & Cotto couldnt or wouldnt but I wouldnt be as confident.
