It's his dream so he don't have to fight Cotto. Just like he thanks Mosley every night before bed for beating Margarito. (Now if only Berto could take out Mosley.... Ohhh! & go PWill's next opponent aswell...)
Nah, he probably believes that. Floyd Sr. said the same thing the other day "On the Ropes". If I recall, he didn't want to say that he gives Cotto "no chance" against Pac, but went on to explain how he thought Cotto's new trainer is bad and that this will be his undoing against Pacquiao. Furthermore, Floyd Sr. admitted that he believes the toughest fight out there for his son is Shane Mosley.
I'm surprised, as Cotto's an easier match-up for Floyd. Maybe he's just being honest? Actually, no, that's just stupid.
It don't matter now anyway as Pacquaio is looks set to face Mosley at light welterweight (140lb) anyway.
