    yeah i suppose it would be something to watch....but i mean...you think floyd would have anything, besides some money, to gain by easily beating a pac leftover? i doubt youll be seeing floyd taking on any guy that pac has already soundly beaten....just on principle

    This fight should have happened along time ago, when Cotto was in his prime and FLoyd was "retired." Now the fight isn't as interesting, but I still wouldn't mind seeing it.

    They will fight when Cotto finshes his one fight left on the contract with Arum.Floyd will have fought either Pacq or S. Martinez by then and Cotto will have gained a little more distance from his slump.Now Arum could be setting up Cotto and Manny one more time and I simply don't trust Top Rank stable fights.If Floyd and Cotto do fight it will not be with Cotto coming off of a loss so it depends on Cotto reclaiming himself.i would like to see this fight at 154 or 160 with no belts on the line just fighting.It would be better at those weights and profitable if Cotto makes it through a one or two more fights and Floyd doesn't lose to the only real threat which is S.Martinez.

    a slow fighter wont win against a fast fighter. everytime cotto attacks, floyd will be there to counter in quick jabs and 2 shot quick combos. i dont see cotto winning.

    if people discredit Pac's win over Cotto by saying he was ruined by Margarito,then why in the **** would it be any different if Floyd beat him?

    If Cotto gets his confidence and edge back with a fight or two more at JrMW,then sure.But definitely not interested unless he shows to have his edge back.

    i would love to see this fight but floyd wouldnt have much problems with cotto.I would rather floyd actually tested his full potential (move up)and then cotto could maybie have a crack at margarito??thats a fight i think he can win.

    -naturally pac v floyd is the one i would rather see!!!

    Do not want to see. Beating Yuri Foreman doesn't mean you're ready for the best fighter in the world.
