Who does Arum WANT to win the Cotto vs Pacquaio fight IF it happens? They are his big money fighters, his prghterize bulls if u like. But i wonder after the Margarito scandal fall out if he is giving Miguel the big money fight with Pac as a sweetner or if he is just trying to cash in on him before he leaves him!? Does he think Pac will win? Im curious.
Pac is one of my top fighters these days but Miguel is my boy, with that being the cae i hope to hell they make this a WW fight, Cotto as a Corpse at 140 and that was a LONG time ago now, struggling a bit with FAR lesser men than Manny Pacquaio, he is very much a fully fledged Welter weight Fighter!
I think Cotto roughs him up and Knocks him out, this guy is no Ricky Hatton but even at WW Pac is a SERIOUS Challenge, he has brought his attributes up through All the weights so far and has got technically better along the way too, even when he fought Oscar he showed all his abilitys, all that remains to be seen is how he holds a shot at WW, but this guy hasnt been getting much lately anyway! I Beleive Cotto's chin is sound but Manny does have the Power, Accuracy and Timeing along with the ruthlessness to stop him!
But at WW I say Cotto KO in around 4-6 rounds of a cracker! :boxing:
I think Pacquiao, Pacquiao beating Cotto makes him an even bigger star, Cotto beating Pacquiao would make him a big star but it wouldn't put him where Pacquiao is now even.
Arum was just thinking ahead. If Pacman lost, or just "scored" a decision win against Hatton, he's willing to sacrifice Pacman for Cotto to devour, BUT Cotto has to stay with Top Rank. Manny's been saying that 2009 will be his last year and he's going to retire to run for office in the Philippines on 2010...
Oh so Bob said that stuff BEFORE the Hatton fight?

dumb question. obviously pac as cotto and bob arent on good terms and he will be heading to golden boy when his contract is up.
Mabey not if Arum gets him big money fights with the likes of Pac tho u know? Probably right tho
Cotto's been salty wit Arum ever since he backed Marg in the wrap scandal. Surely Arum would want Pac to win, but no fukkin way Cotto would lose imo. WW's should fight WW's.
I love all three fights to be fair and hey who knows they might all happen AND Cotto vs Floyd AND Mosley vs Floyd! I mean seriously why not!? Thats the way they used to do it! Bring it on!!! :boxing:
True....I would'nt mind if that did happen...
lol
I dont get excitied over a Pac/Cotto matchup i dont know why..
I'd much prefer Pac to fight his arch enemy Mayweather or
failing that Pac take on Mosley...

Manny can't go to WW. When he fought Oscar he weighed 148 in fight night same with the Hatton fight. That's a typical LWW.
But if "Manny Aims for Seven (and Five): Real History Part X." will be Manny's goal,
He's gonna risk and fight Cotto to claim his SEVENTH weight class and FIFTH Lineal Title. Then an ATG Top 5.

When PBF asks Marquez to come up to WW people scoff at the idea but if Cotto asks Pacman to do so i bet nobody bats an eyelid. Typical.
This will be a superb match though, if it is made what will happen with Sugar Shane? Who will he go for next?
Im one of those guys because i think Manny handles the weight rises MUCH better than JMM, i think between the added weight and PBF's speed Marquez is gonna look painfully slow.
He deserves a big money fight (JMM) so fair play but i think he is ready to be taken even if Diaz was argueably his best win he is getting hit alot more these days and seems on the slide to me, big fan tho
Gotta feel for Mosley he has took on all comers, the guys nobody wanted to fight and here he is on top of the pile again but with no big name oppenent and time is NOT on his side

BOB ARUM WILL WIN IF THIS FIGHT HAPPENS CUZ BOTH
THEM ARE HIS FIGHTER.
But I think Clottey will outbox Cotto.
Bob Arum should let PACMAN to fight JMM or Mayweather.
Clottey wont be no walk in the park anyway, tough fight.
Pac might not wanna sit out that long tho eh.
Well Arum dont win if Cotto destroys Manny and then leaves Bob
