    Potential match ups in the near future. Who have the best chance to beat Pac?

    Mosely
    Cotto
    Floyd Jr

    Since manny frame wise is smaller than all three, state who would be the fairest fight for pac?

    I voted for Shane and Cotto, I'll reserve judgment on Floyd until he has fought Marquez.

    at a catchweight, I'd favor Pac over all 3

    at 140, Pac defiantly stops all 3

    at 147, I think Cotto stops him, but the other 2 get outpointed

    All 3 of them have a good chance of beating pacman at 147 lbs. If they fight at a catchweight then i can see pac beating all 3.

    Pac Floyd is fairly fair as they fight around the same weight. I think the person most likely to beat Pacquiao there is Mosley, but all three could 'possibly prevail'.

    All of them can definitely beat Pac. But if I have to put money, it'll be on Shane.

    i think cotto is the easiest to beat for pac. Simply too slow for pac. plodding footwork and the chinny one of the three. not to mention if Cotto gets near 140 again he will probably weak.

    i favor more shane and mayweather and im a cotto fan

    cotto is simply too slow for pac even at 147 (i could be wrong)
    mosley at 147 i believe he could win but not to sure if he fights at a catchweight
    mayweather lets see how he copes at 140 with marquez but i beleive floyd speed defense and power at 140 it's enough to hurt and win against pac (just my opionion)

    At what weights would each opponent fight Pac at? At 140 I'd favor Pac over anybody. At 147 he's at a disadvantage against all 3. A catch weight fight would be interesting. I don't think Mosley is capable of making 143, Cotto looked extremely weakened towards the end of his campaign at 140, and I'm very intrigued to see how Mayweather will look after the layoff and at the lower weight.

    floyd always would have a 50/50 chance or more, whether it is 140 or 147 - floyd
    has the best style to beat pacman (comparing with shane and cotto).

    Shane will never beet Pacman.

    Cotto has a good chance at 147 - favor him 60/40.

    If pacman stays at 140pound only floyd can beat him - 50/50.

    All choices are a possibility, even none. All of those fighters are smart and know how to beat Pac, and thats the Marquez way.

    Cotto is not too slow for Pac. He held his own against fighters with speed (Mosley and Judah). Maybe not as relentless as Pac, but still with decent power and good speed. i would only be nervous if Cotto drains himself too much for the fight. We all know what happens to Cotto when he drains himself.
