    he shouldnt fight cotto, bradley or peterson. he should fight guys from welterweight or up, including marquez since he did so well against him at welterweight. the real list of guys he should face should be canelo, kirkland, ortiz-berto winner, maidana or martinez. that would make fight fans salivate, instead I don't see much hype around the four guys arum's mentioned. he already beat cotto, bradley has no power, and peterson really doesnt have a great chance really. get some challenges in there.

    I would like to see the fight. Cotto has earned a rematch.... and at a higher weight he may have some advantages.

    I wouldnt mind it but not now, its time for either marquez or a refreshing opponent willing to fight in tim.

    only reason this fight has some support is because Cotto(e) is boxing's special needs child

    he gets more ghetto passes than anyone in the sport except for Tijuana

    No point to this one. With Marquez theres a small chance they wont have corrupt judges next time but its doubtful.

    Not saying I wouldn't watch it but it will be a carbon copy of the first fight!
    Despite any weight issue,I just think speed is Cotto's main problem,he can deal with fast fighters.

    I'd still love to see it. Cotto's confidence and technique have risen since they first fought at 145.

    although i want Cotto to fight Canelo or Mayweather. And Pac to fight Bradley,

    If Cotto says fight at 152-154 or no fight and they accept, i would like to see that

    If Cotto wants it, and with Mayweather in jail and no other significant fights for Pacquiao other than another Marquez rematch which may be overkill, now is the time to make it while Pac not finished yet.

    Pac gets the chance to look great again vs a popular and highly rated boxer coming off a hi-profile win, Cotto gets another shot at redemption against the only guy he couldn't beat in his career.

    Cotto's claim for another shot is that he would beat the 3 other options for Manny.
