Why not? It'd be a great fight and a great event for boxing.
because its a mismatch. pac has no business fighting cotto
maybe so, but beating Pacman is not a great enough accomplishment to achieve that
in fact it doesn't even prove that Cotto is in fact better than Pacquiao, pound-for-pound
i agree, beating pac won't make cotto p4p #1, just like if hatton beats pac that doesn't make hatton p4p #1
this is the dumbest thing i've heard along with the floyd is a god thread!how could the # 2 p4p fighter be a tune up?....oh i see, it's comin from this guy
jmm asked to fight floyd... jmm should stay at 135 but as a 140+ lber jmm is a tune up.
Cotto eventually will become the P4P King.

What do you guys think about this.
Should Cotto really be calling out Manny, or should he be chasing a Mosley rematch?
cotto needs to be fighting WW not jr. WWs.
pac has no business being in the ring w/ cotto... cotto is just too big.
but if the fight is at 140, pac beats cotto.
I do not agree with neither option on this poll.
1. A Pac/Cotto fight would be entretainning while it last cuz one of them would KO the other but Cotto is a WW and he should fight other WW.
2. A Mosley fight would be a great fight (I would like to see it happen) with either guy winning it but Cotto DO NOT have the obligation of granting Mosley a rematch!
funny how im thrown in the "everyone" category when you don't even know my opinion.
I would love to see Mayweather-Pacquiao.
IF Pacquiao can beat De La Hoya at 147 and beat Hatton at 140, I think its safe to say hes a legit fighter at 140-147. De La Hoya weight drained or not has fought as high as 160 and Hatton is a huge 140. If Cotto or Mayweather are to fight Pac if Pac beats Hatton than the size factor holds no ground in my book. I thought of him as little Pac when he fought Oscar but he proved me wrong. Now im not too sure, if he beats Hatton than he made a believer out of me.
I would love to see
Cotto-Mosley II

Thye are all great fights and I don't care which one fights which.
the latter paragraph wasn't actually aimed at you, for the record... just everyone it applied to
fair enough anyway, though i disagree to an extent
As far as your reason for Cotto chasing the Mosley rematch, it makes sense. And it is one way to look at it. But there is also another way to look at it and that is that Cotto already beat him, and that's how im looking at it. I wanna see the rematch too but I just don't feel Cotto needs to be chasing after it when he already beat him and has an option to fight the number one p4p who will be on top of the world and bigger than ever when/if he defeats Ricky Hatton.
imo, the Mosley/Margarito match being A) more recent and B) a more comprehensive victory is enough to give it priority over Cotto's win over Shane himself
The Cotto/Mosley fight was competetive and entertaining so there's no reason the rematch shouldn't be made imo. It's the last piece of the puzzle and it's hardly an unappealing prospect
and there is a good chance Cotto was "battered" with plaster gloves, true or not, there is a shadow casted over the victory.
indeed but without concrete evidence (no pun intended) it has to be officially written off as a non-factor
What do you guys think about this.

Can't blame Cotto calling the cash cow for a big pay day. And if, a big if, the fight gets made Pac has a slim chance of winning. I think Cotto is just too big. Though I think the first few rounds would be entertaining.
But I also think Cotto should give Mosley a chance for a rematch, you know, for beating the man who beat him.... plaster aside.
WOW. I see no Cotto fan bitching about him fighting Pacman.
I'm not going to bitch at it if he beats Clottey. Because by then he'd have fought Margarito, Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Clottey. Basically he would have proved his worth against the best Welterweights aside from P Willy.
And if Pacquiao beats Hatton, especially with relative ease (dont see that happening), then I dont see the big deal about the size disparity anyway. Special fighters can overcome things like that.
um because Mosley beat the man (who battered Cotto) and became the man
Cotto is second the Mosley, not the other way around
also, this fight is low on my list of priorities..... hilarious how Mayweather/Pacquiao gets destroyed but everyone loves the idea of the even bigger Cotto beating little Pac to a pulp
but still cotto beat mosley. in this case cotto would have to fight margarito and then he'll become number 1

i would like the mosley rematch so we could a ring champ

Why would Cotto "chase" a Mosley rematch? Mosley should be "chasing" a Cotto rematch. Cotto beat Mosley. I want to see Cotto-Mosley II too, but by no means should Cotto be "chasing" the rematch when he already beat him.

I would love to see Cotto-Pacquiao too, especially if Pac beats Hatton. Then maybe he can fight Mosley again after that.
