    I have never ever stated otherwise.

    Mosley beats Pacquiao at any weight around 143-147lb in my estimation. Styles make fights, as the old cliche goes, and Mosley is a bad match-up stylistically for Manny Pacquiao. Miguel Cotto, on the other hand, will have a hard time with Pacquiao at 147lb. Manny can insist on the terms, he is the driving seat, but Cotto would be a fool if he went down to 140lb. He is too vulnerable at that weight. Much lesser fighters than Manny have almost had him out at Light-Welterweight.

    That is all I was saying.

    manny has done alot of cheery picking lately, but when he won the title he went from Barrera, to Marquez to Morales, and thats crazy, freddie roach was well aware that oscar was a shot fighter he trrained him and said so, so he made sure the pac fight happened, hatton was obsivioulsy a smart opponent with a name, that provides less risk then a cotto or mosley. so yea he;s been cherrypicking while taking on the toughest challenges at the same time

    So you're saying the fight will be at 140?

    Pac wants Void, but Void refuses to fight him.

    I would never make an outlandish claim like that. I have no idea where the fight will take place. That is up to the promoters negotiating a possible match-up between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. My personal feeling is, Miguel Cotto has no business fighting at 140lb again. He is suited best at 147lb. Manny Pacquiao has also displayed in his fight against Oscar that he makes a very good Welterweight. He can function effectively at 147lb just fine.

    I would like to see the fight at either 147lb or a catcheight of 143lb. It would be a fight to look forward to for all fight fans.

    Void is the one who has been cherry picking.

    Looks as though my post has been unfortunately misinterpreted.

    This site has become very boring now with all the Pac doubters becoming Pac fans.
