    All it takes is one fight, just ask Fernando Vargas.

    Don't want to see it. I love Pac...After this win he is my favorite fighter. He's a good guy, great fighter, and a true warrior.
    Cotto though....Will HURT HIM! You all are forgetting how big Cotto is. I remember when people use to complain that Cotto was to big of a WW to be fighting at Welter....Until they saw Margarito beat him, and before that seen Paul Williams, and thought MY GOD!!! Clottey, Cotto, margarito, and Paul Willaims are MASSIVE WW's, and very unique in there own rights.
    Cotto=All round fighter
    Clottey=Big guy with good defense/ counter punches
    Paul Willaims/ Margarito=BEHEMOTHS who have exceptional stamina, workrates, chins, etc.

    I would not put Manny in with any of these guys unless I wished death upon him. These guys aren't welters...There 160 pounders! The same argument could have been made about Oscar, but honestly I don't think he was ever ALL THAT, and whatever he did have is well faded. These 4 guys are just as hungry to win as Pac....Yet there much bigger, stronger, and I'm sure they'd love to beat the crap out of P4P fighter #1 to build there legacys.

    PAC: Fight Hatton...Make a bunch of $, and beat him. Then, try to lure back Floyd to beat him. Then, RETIRE before it's to late! You stand nothing to gain off fighting these WW's...Except a long visit to the hospital.

    Why are people saying Pacman has a good chance of beating Hatton but would get KO'd by Cotto?

    i would like cotto to comeback strong but hopefully not against pac because they are my 1-2 fave fighters. pac has many options like hatton, jmm or even floyd.

    Cotto would stop Pac. You guys are going overboard because he beat an old, part time fighter in DLH. Cotto is in his prime, younger than Pac, and has a real size advantage.

    This is a mismatch, Pac is better served to fight at 140 pounds.

    Forget about Pac vs Cotto at the moment. Boxing fans should push for Hatton vs Pacquiao for June 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. :yep

    I think Pac will have an eisier time against Mayweather than Coto. Pac can absorb the punches coming from FMJ but I'm not sure he can take from Coto. A Mayweather fight will be Pacs speed offense against May's defense whereas, a Coto fight will be a slambang where Coto's punches may take its toll on Pacman. But I still don't disregard the possibility that Manny can hold his own against Coto...

    Well the logical answer is Cotto is far superior to Hatton. :patsch

    Id rather see Pacman vs Cotto then pacman vs hatton... gawd hatton is overated big time.. the dude has no defense and he would get knocked the hell out by pac. , pac is a skilled fighter now id say , i really believe pac drops hatton by 7 or 8.. Pacquiao is on a diffferent level .. this isnt the same pac that fought , morales , JMM , etc.... hes far better than before.... people can doubt pac all they want but i seriously think that he would embarrass cotto as well. Roach is an awesome trainer and his student is not just a fighter , what makes him different is that hes a gifted fighter. id say its possible for pacman to ko cotto by 10 or 11 or win by decision. Dont ever think that pacman will step in the ring lookin the same as the last opponent he fought ... he always got a new bag of tricks.. Never doubt pac again!!!
