    I don't care.

    Cotto is a ***** for wanting to fight a way smaller guy. Why does he need to pick on guys smaller than him? Why not rematch Mosley?

    Cotto can fight the smaller guy if he wants because that's his division. He already fought most of the best in his division. To really be great one will have to go north 4-5 division above his first fighting weight. Pacquiao will do nothing for him except make some good $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

    Hey if Floyd is a ***** for fighting Marquez so is Cotto.

    if Floyd isn't, then Cotto isn't.

    He needs to rematch Mosley and fight Williams. Not fight Pacquaio who is smaller.


    I could understand is Cotto was coming off a long layoff to fight a small guy but come on. The size difference is big.

    If you can tell Floyd to shut his mouth and quit mumming out that he is the best ever than people wouldn't care. If he really think he is the greatest he should be cleaning out the 147 and move into the 154.

    I get what your doing :good I don't think Floyd's a *****... I do think JMM is too small for Floyd (would be for Cotto too) and will get knocked out... he would also get knocked out if he ever fights Manny any higher than 135lbs. I don't think Marquez will be as effective in this weight, specially against someone like Floyd.

    Cotto deserves a break from fighting the best at 147. Mosley, Margo and Clottey. PAC should be a good break for him.

    Props to Pac for wanting to fight a much larger fighter.

    No one in todays time can become the best ever.

    Manny would need to beat Pavlik at 160 just to be maybe considered.

    Did we forget about his last fight?

    Cotto is being a ***** for picking on smaller Pac.

    I think Marquez should do fine as long as he doesn't try to bulk weight on.

    He weighs 141-144 on fight night. While Floyd is sub 150.

    Maybe weigh in total 145 at most.

    Although even if Floyd went down to 135/140 I don't see how things would be any different.

    Cotto is not claiming that he is the greatest so he can pick on the smaller guy. Floyd claim to be the best so he has to pick on the guys in his division or higher.

    I got this from a recent Roach interview:

    Roach asked Shane if he can go down to 142 and Shane said no...

    If it's Cotto, Roach wants him to go down to 140...

    And I guess if it's PBF, Team PAC will accept a 144 catchweight...

    This is true, those guys in the 1950s are the greatest, I think its the food, they were mostly eating organic
