Mayweather Jr. finally makes his prediction: "I'm leaning towards Pacquiao"

Interesting quote by Naazim from same Examiner article... Mosley's trainer Naazim Richardson "All of these guys underestimate Pacquiao thinking he's the small man. When I met Pacquiao, I wasn't saying how does this guy make welterweight? I was saying how in the hell was he making 130 and 135? Pacquiao is a big dude." I call BS on that one. Naazim would like to see his pupil Mosley get a crack at fighting the midget (for $$$). And his agenda is to make Pac seem like he's Nikolay Valuev.

Well, it's apparent Pacquiao is the favored by a long shot. Cotto will have to prove the naysayers wrong, and it ain't going to be easy. Cotto's the title holder and if Manny manages to wrest that belt away from him, he'll have given up his status as top welter weight contender. Leaving it up to the judges to decide the outcome will not favor him. Although history has shown that, for the most part, the challenger had to blow the champ away and knock him down or out to capture the title. It'll be very interesting to watch.

actually ive always said I believe Cotto would win...but i wouldnt be suprised if Pac won... I dont know what Cotto will show up or what Pac will show up... Cotto should win this fight...... Nice try man. hehehehe:popcorn::popcorn:

Translation.... Mayweather "HOPES" Pacquiao wins! If he had to pick and choose, he'd rather fight Manny Pacquiao than to face Miguel Cotto. The highest Pacquiao will come in on fight nite...148 pounds. Miguel Cotto, 155lbs. Floyd don't want none of "ANY" of the Welter Weights....Mosley, and especially Miguel Cotto. Sure, Floyd Mayweather can "WIN" against Miguel Cotto, or any Welter Weight, even Andre Berto, and Shane Mosley...But he ain't "BEATING" Miguel Cotto. He's team would never let him stand in front him.

hahaha noticed how these mayweather fans are all of a sudden OK with pac winning now? ok with Pac winning? Personally, I don't want to see him win because a 147lb belt is on the line for a 145lb fight. Screw Manny and his draining tactics and screw his lame ass diamond belt. ...having said that, a Mayweather - Manny fight is huge for boxing. And for the record I have Cotto taking this one ever since the fight was announced.

He already said he favor Pacquiao he said Cotto is mentally weak after the Margarito fight and that he hasn't recover from that.
