Hypothetical: IF Cotto beats Mayweather, Would Pacquiao fight Cotto at 154lbs????

I think Manny would be interested but Arum not so much

 

pac said he's not fighting above 147 anymore. but if it's cotto, i think given the scenario, he just might consider it. i voted for no anyway as i think there's a very slim chance of floyd losing to cotto.

 

i voted yes because cotto would still b an easyer fight than floyd would for manny an i can see arum wantin manny to take that fight insted.

 

I'd say yes....though the thought of Manny mentioning Cotto hurt him on several occassions and the fact that Cotto's neutritionist mentioned the 145lbs weight was quite unhealthy for Cotto, this would probably sway my prediction ever so slightly.

 

And if he does the question is will he fight Kirkland @160.

 

No.

Manny too small for that weight

 

Pacquiao vs Chavez Jr. @160

 

No Arum wouldn't let that happen.

 

No. Pacquiao is a blown up lightweight campaigning at welter in which he still routinely comes in underweight at 144. He's a surefire atg so he obviously could and has overcome giving himself size handicaps but he certainly isn't obligated to give even a bigger one. All this bitching about Pac fighting at catchweights that people forget he's always the one fighting with a size disadvantage....significant ones at that.

 

150lbs at best.

 

i think canelo would be their best option...he is a gbp fighter and less risk for cotto

 

If Cotto beats Mayweather, then his worth would go up considerably. Because of this, Pac/Arum may consider moving up for him. It's only Cotto, guys. Whether it's 150 or 154, he's still the same. He'll hardly be that big of a threat that Pac/Arum won't consider fighting him. They've already beaten him up once, remember.

 

Yes, Pacquiao would at least be willing to fight Cotto at 154 lbs. Cotto doesn't have the ability to outbox Pacquiao and he can't take Pacquaio's power on the inside. It'd be a slightly more competitive replay of their first fight.
