    I wouldn't mind seeing an unDRAINED Cotto fight Pacquiao a 2nd time, because he was clearly weight drained the first fight. I could tell within 40 seconds of the 1st round.

    No, because neither of them belong at 154. Cotto isn't moving down for nothing and Pacquiao doesn't belong at 154. Even if they did fight at 154 then expect the same result you saw in the first fight. Pacquiao's style is simply wrong for Cotto. He's a fighter with serious power in both hands, has serious speed, underrated movement, very aggressive and insane stamina. Cotto can't handle aggressive fighters well, add to that Pacquiao's speed and you have the same exact fight as the first one.

    While pac is now moving down to JWW and cotto at MW with both having Roach as their coach? The fight at WW was conclusive enough where both fighters are nearer to their prime/peak. Now you would get two pass their prime fighters fighting out of their comfortable/best weight. If their is a fight that we need to see is cotto under roach versus floyd at 154 cause the first time was a good scrap.

    At 154 in 2015? No. Maybe back in 2011 or 2012. Cotto fought at Pac's weight but Pac won't fight at Cotto's and there's a reason for that. Although, considering the result of their match up, no rematch necessary.

    Would have been good back when it was 1st discussed.

    Unfortunately Pacquiao wanted nothing do with it. So you snooze you lose.

    Not ahead of several others better fights that are potentially out there for both men.

    I would had loved to see cotto get his revenge a couple years ago at 150 as he offered but I don't see it worth while anymore.

    one is trying to hold the 160 title and one is trying to gain advantages at 140

    I would like to see it. Just for Cotto´s sake. Cotto has earned to fight him with even terms.

    Not anymore now that Cotto is with Roach. Besides, Manny going to campaign at 140 after Algeri, so no point in it.

    Lol Cotto could offer his MW belt on the line at a catch weight at 155 and we'd have another bogus lineal MW champ.

    I dont know how if he was weight drained after 40 seconds when he won the 1st round clearly.

    Also Cotto is now a middleweight so according to you, you are asking him drain himself again:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch

    Cotto was competitive for the first 5 rnds and then completely gave up .

    His soul was taken from him in that fight . No rematch .

    Too one sided .
