yes because now casual fans are hip to Pacquiao and will follow his fights thanx to Delahoya & Hatton.. And if Cotto decisively defeats Clottey, then hell yeah it would be a mega event.
i voted yes! at the same time I also believe PBF-JMM is also MEGA!
I am sure both these fights will not only attract hardcore fans but some casual fans as well plus all four fighters have some following and can easily put asses on seats ...
No...
Manny knocking out another defenseless and helpless fighter...Im not interested.
Diaz
Oscar
HattonA weight drained Cotto....
Some guantlet.
Its Mayweather or go away.
I'll be honest, your picks are not only ridiculous, they are also wrong a lot of the time.
Yup I made a thread on that. You ain't fuckin with Pacquiao in any poll
Is that a bad thing?
as many here have said "More fans see JMM winning over PAC". but did he really won the fight?
so in a poll you can see what the majority thinks. But do we consider it as a fact if a poll endorses it?
if you have a contrrasting opinion then its fine move on...
If I was cotto's manager, I would set him up with berto after the clottey fight and if he beats him, I would set up a fight with mosley in LA while making it public that the winner of that fight would face pacquiao... THEN AND ONLY THEN would this be a mega fight.
That pushes back a Pacquiao fight all the way until early 2011. He could be in congress by then.
depends what you classify as a mega-event.. IMO Floyd/Oscar, Tyson/Holyfield, Tyson/Lewis were mega events
Pac-Cotto would be a big fight but not a mega event

In all honesty I always have liked Cotto, and I have shown my support for him on NSB many times, but IMO (you do not have to agree) I think that fight was very close and scored it a tie, but I honestly believe Cotto was backpeddling not because he had a lead before entering the championship rounds, which he did, but rather due to the pressure getting to him. He was fighting back and in some circumstances winning exchanges, but I just did not see the defensive masterpiece people were talking about. I personally had that fight 6-6.
I don't have that much of a problem with scoring the fight close.
And I don't think that he put on a defensive masterpiece. But he did a good job of boxing, and I don't think it was because of the pressure getting to him. Shane didn't pressure until Cotto stopped pressuring.
My main point was that he was not running, that's a very inaccurate thing to say.
