    Don't forget, Miguel Cotto himself wanted a 150 CW again Margarito.

    is that it? 3 options which are all recycled, rehash, repeat, same old.

    might as well not fight, what a farce

    the only fight i'm interested in is a 4th with jmm. i don't care much for cotto, moreso at 150 as it'll prove and mean nothing. no to a bradley rematch as i think manny won that fight clearly.

    a 4th fight could be close again but let's see what goes down and if jmm can finally get the judges nod.

    It's really not that fun that Arum gives such limited options.

    I won't say Pac takes the weakest link though. He just doesn't have any choice.

    pac loses to all 3.

    he's less likely to face cotto at 150.

    tim will beat him more convincingly this time.

    jmm is the most likely fight to happen. i had jmm beating him 8-4 last time. i'm sure this time won't be much different.

    Of course he is. Team Pac are vultures circling in the air waiting to feed on the old drained half-chewed carcasses other boxers leave behind.

    Even though Pac beat Cotto already, considering the advantage was in Pac favor. I don't think Cotto would be a walk in the park for him at 154lbs. Pac drained Cotto for a reason and we all know why. I believe out of the three Marquez would be the safe choice. I know it sounds crazy considering the last three fights were close, but Pac knows what Marquez brings to the table, not to mention Pac has the age factor on his side. Father time have to catch up to Marquez some time and fight night might be that night. Bradley and Cotto are to risky, Bradley being young and hungry and Cotto being much stronger at his current weight, and may not accept a catch weight this time around.

    Avenge the only loss he has to those three.. If Pac doesn't beat Bradley and work hard every minute of every round, then call it a day.. Jmm should be second choice with Cotto a distant third...

    Ok... You go from saying he already beat Pac to he destroys Pac currently. No, he really don't destroy Pac at 154 or 254. Mayweather stood still a lot and let Cotto land plenty of shots at 154... and Mayweather didn't get hurt once. He put up a pretty good fight, but if Cotto can't hurt Mayweather how does he DESTROY Pac?
    This is why a lot of people whom watch boxing seem to lack common sense. They use words like DESTROY. I could never see Cotto winning a decision, but that'd be possible I guess... But isn't the same thing as Destroy.
    People talk about Mayweather running over Pac, but like that's reality either. Mayweather may win a UD, even the word "Schooling" would be ok as it's possible, but they use dramatic words that in order to use them you got to have the fighter looking like Pac's KO of Hatton. You got to leave in a stretcher or something for somebody to have been DESTROYED. Then again one or two points difference for a close fight is considered "Robbery" as well.
     
  15. WOW what a clever guy you are

    Lets not forget Maynevers favoured reason for NOT fighting Pacquiao Quote " scared for my health "
    you the have numerous more reasons
    On top of that he needed to cheat to get Ortiz out of there and make JMM fight TWO divisions higher than he ever had fought before and still cheat him on the scale.
    And if you call TWO lbs drained you are clueless
