    in October is he cherry picking. After last night Cotto showed a lot of holes in his game whether they are due to Marg or they were always there.

    Out of the three top guys he has fought. He has yet to pull out a dominating or even clear victory. Mosley and Clottey were very close while Marg outgunned him.

    He is still a very strong and dangerous opponent and he was fighting with a cut.

    But I feel Pac is just too fast and agile around the ring for him. He is precise while punching and I feel will overwhelm Cotto leading to a ko.

    I feel this is still a better fight than any at 140 and only Mosley would bring something to the table similar to what Cotto could, financially. (Floyd and Marquez not included due to a pending bout.)

    So would you guys give him credit for fighting Cotto at a catchweight of say 43-44 or do you feel Pac is just too much at this time.

    LOL. For nearly all the fight he had to contend with a huge cut and blood pouring into hes eye.

    I think Cotto is Pac's easiest fight out of Mayweather, Mosley and Cott

    He did have a disadvantage though, lots of world champions have dealt with this, some quit.

    I think quite a few would call Pac names for taking this.

    Cotto would seem to be the easiest out of the three. But they are both Arum fighters and you know what he has been wanting.

    You know Clottey will never see pac or any big name at this time, while a good fighter he simply is not a draw or exciting enough.

    even if pac is cherry-picking so what? haha he beat up & retired morales and barerra, placed jmm on his ass 4 times, knocked out DLH, knocked out Hatton.

    if any fighter deserves to do some cherry picking it's pac. and i don't think him beating cotto is a sure thing at all.

    then again, cotto couldn't defend those quick right hands from clottey. how's he gonna avoid the lightning bolt shots of pac-man?

    ........huh. I have no idea what your talking about. I dont think Cotto showed he was diminishing at all. Hes fighting elite big welterweights. In this fight he had to contend with a bad cut which affected him. He got through it like the warrior he is.

    If pacquiao was to win. hed get the credit

    I think it would be a great fight and would love to see it. I think Cotto probably is what he has been. The cut was bad but it seemed to be more mental. And after the 6th round it seemed they got it under control.

    I just want to see what others feel about it.
