    Picking a boxer coming off a great win but clearly on the slide.

    So it is cherry picking to fight the guy your rival was going to fight? It is "cherry picking" to fight the guy at weight and not force him to drain down?

    Too bad Team Pacfraud didn't know who to call to give this magical offer to BEFORE the Cotto fight was made.

    As for Cotto who tko Margarito in their last fight, wasn't really a great win as Pacquiao broke Margarito's Orbital bone. Just imagine a Margarito with great vision who will just keep moving forward and putting alot of pressure on Cotto

    To some extent it is, but who do you want there when Arum don't want to put Pacquiao there?. Canelo ain't ready, Ortiz rematch is a waste of time and especially now because the excuse will be that he was overtrained, Berto was injured. The be$$$$t choice AFTER Pacquiao is Cotto.

    If floyd was fighting margarito instead this Pocho would be like "look it was the most demanded fight of 2006. Better to happen now rather than never. Let's just see how it goes. Floyd gets props from me"

    Anything other than Floyd and Manny facing each other or Sergio is cherry-picking.

    Mayweather-Cotto is a decent fight. I'm definitely watching it.

    I am looking forward to this fight, the 2 fights I would have rather seen was Pac and Martinez but I'm not complaining
