    Mosley is definitely a more dangerous fight but will they get any credit for taking/winning that tough fight?, people will say he fought yet another old guy.

    The way these fights are dropping at the moment, I won't be confident this match up is going to even take place, let alone guess a winner. I am hoping that Pac wins tbh, a fan of neither but I want to see Pac vs PBF more then Cotto vs PBF.

    You can never be sure if this fight is in a catchweight. Pac has the edge. His speed kills. Btw, Cotto beat Mosley. He's overrated.

    two years ago pac would have lost this fight. now he is more versitile, and can box when he has to. i see him fighting smart and beating cotto down the stretch. 10th round ko

    I tend to be impartial about the outcomes, but deep down I would love to see Pacquiao keep marching right on over all these mugs. This is the time of our boxing lives. To have a fighter like Manny, with his gifts, and the willingness to push himself and those gifts to the absolute limits... It's an emotional thing. Powerful powerful stuff to a religious boxing fan. He's doing this for us. I truly believe that.

    Because Pac is not fighting Mosley, he is the tougher fight and age is irrelevant. If he does fight Mosley, immediately his age comes into play and Pac hasnt fought anyone under 30, :|

    I like this fight against Cotto and can understand why their not keen on fighting Mosley, he was scary against margarito and they know it.

    What I take from that personally, is that Roach wants Manny to stay away from Miguel's power and for Manny not to get in a brawl with him. It ain't gonna happen. Manny is an offense-minded fighter and his defense leaves a lot to be desired. Cotto will hit him...hard. People who think this fight is gonna look anything like Pac vs. DLH are just dumb. Cotto is not weak or old, and will not lie down like DLH did. The Ricky Hatton fight? Please...Paulie Malignaggi has a better chin than Hatton.

    After Manny loses to Cotto, reality will set in that he does not belong at 147 and he'll drop back down in weight to fight JMM for a third time and in that fight JMM will outclass him once again only to get the short end of the stick...again.
