    I'd give him respect for fighting either one. Another top p4p #1 or a big, tough as nails welterweight. Either one is a damn good fight for him.

    Margarito. He's the number 1 welterweight.

    Mayweather should have fought him a long time ago.

    I'd give him credit for fighting either, but I voted for Pac. Margo may be bigger, but he's one dimensional, and I honestly believe Floyd has enough skill to dance around him for 12 boring rounds. Pacman may be smaller, but is considerably better, and I reckon he has a better chance of making a better fight of it. Either way, would love to see either of these fights happen. But Mosley is going to beat Margo, so that leaves Pacman.

    not only that, if he beats margo then people will say he should have fought pw who beat margo. mayweather should have fought margo when he had the chance. but as you alluded to, lets see what happens with mosley. and mayweather vs. pacquiao would be the bigger fight.

    Pac would be a better fight to watch. I like watching Margos fights but he would have a hard time pinning Floyd down.

    Margo. Fight him and then wait and see if Pacman beats Hatton at 140. If that happens, then fight Pac at whatever weight they decide. But Margo comes first and foremost.

    Margarito

    It's pretty clear he's been avoiding Margarito, so if he came back for him... I'll bow down and eat my crow:smoke

    Margarito without a doubt... not really close actually to me.

    Margarito
    Cotto
    Pac

    to me that is how it should go....

    pac still has A LOT of fights and challengers that could very well beat him at his own weights.... LET ALONE mayweather.

    Hatton
    Baby Bull
    JMM
    Cambell
    Valero

    are all fights that need to happen at pacs own size and weights....


    Margarito
    Williams
    Cotto

    are the here and now of the welterweights, and some of the best fighters in the world... at the weight mayweather was 'king' (ya... right) at, Margarito deserves his shot, Cotto would make for one hell of a fight that everyone wants to see, and then pac to round it out would be perfect.

    :good


    Id actually RATHER see a Cotto vs Mayweather fight then Margo mayweather, but i cant deny Margarito obviously deserves it more... But i can see Mayweather doing a boxing job on margarito (kinda like what cotto was doing early) so id actually rather see a cotto vs mayweather fight...

    I hope Mayweather would announce he will fight pac if he beats hatton, and the winner of margarito vs cotto 2 (id be hoping its cotto lol)


    If he did that... it would amaze me. but i know he wont...
